Shotgun System 12G/ 16G/ 20G 


Primary Role: Home Security
Secondary Role: Bird hunting, Medium Sized Game. 

Shotguns are very versatile platforms and have a wide variety of uses. Pump action shotguns are inexpensive light and can have been quite famous in the pop culture. The popular actions for shotguns are pump action, semi-auto, break barrel and lever action. Due to the shot/pellet distribution of the muzzle function, it is relatively easy to hit, and extremely lethal at close ranges. The variety of shot and slug sizes make shotguns an extremely lethal offensive weapon when wielded by trained hands.

Hunting: with a simple swap of barrel and choke, you can configure the shot gun from a security to hunting role, birds are abundant and avenues to hunt birds gives you a fighting chance of putting food on the table. Almost all Shotguns have smooth bore barrels, hence to fire a bullet like projectile, a specific shotshell called “slug” is used, where the rifling is in the casing of the shot shell, which provides the initial twist to the shell in the direction of the target stabilizing the round. 12G Shot Slugs have known to down a deer upto 100 yards.
