The M500 is the US Navy designation for the Mossberg 590 shotgun, which is a part of the Mossberg 500 family. There is no indication that the last round has been fired, other than hearing just a click and no report when you pull the trigger. This requires the firer to keep track of the rounds they fire.

∙ 14y agoThe M16 has a bolt hold open device, activated by the magazine follower. After the last round is fired and ejected, the bolt is held locked to the rear.
Going by the field manual, magazines are supposed to be loaded so that the last three rounds are tracers, to indicate when the last three rounds are being fired, but I've never actually seen this practice put to use.

How is the ammunition for a rifle different from ammunition from a shotgun?
In general. a rifle fires a single projectile that is designed to be spun by the grooves inside the gun barrel. A shotgun fires a much larger diameter shell. This is filled with multiple round lead pellets. The weight of all the pellets in one shell is usually greater than the weight of a rifle bullet, but they do not travel as fast, and are not meant to be spun when fired.

Ammo fired down terminal velocity compared to ammo dropped at high altitude?
Fired ammunition from a firearm reaches a much higher initial velocity due to explosive propellant forces. In contrast, ammunition dropped from a high altitude reaches a terminal velocity where gravity pulling down is balanced by air resistance pushing up. The fired bullet maintains its higher velocity until slowed by air resistance and gravity, while dropped ammunition reaches a constant speed due to these opposing forces.

What is the indication that the last ammunition round has been fired?
Depends on which weapon you're referring to. Most (but not all) service rifles have a bolt hold open device which keeps the bolt locked to the rear when the last round is fired. The Garand had the ammunition which was loaded into a clip, which was then loaded into a magazine, and that clip would spring out when the last round was fired (although unfortunately it also gave away this fact to the enemy sometimes). Weapons such as the Kalashnikov do not have any such feature, and you may not know you're out of ammo until your weapons stops firing, or you might grind down the follower stops in the magazine, which will effectively hold the bolt to the rear when the last round is fired (although it will slam back forward once the magazine is removed). Another prescribed (although not commonly practiced) method is to load three tracers into the magazine first - these will be the last three rounds fired, and will indicate that the weapon is out of ammo. However, this also works both ways, and lets the opposition know you have to stop and reload, as well.
