Sure, why not. Some companies like Tru Glo sell shotgun mounts with their shotgun. I personally would not use one for pheasant/duck hunting. I believe red dots on shotguns are more popular among turkey hunters.

What does the BSA red dot sight test measure?
The BSA red dot sight test measures how well a person can use a BSA red dot sight on a gun. BSA red dot sights are good for quarter and medium range targets.
What is the difference between a red dot sight and a laser sight?
The difference is that red-dot sights have contained aiming reticles, whereas laser sights use an emitted laser beam that must fall onto a target. Red-dot sights are used mainly for more accurate ADS (aiming down sight) firing and laser sights allow for less-accurate, but made more so, shoulder-firing.
What is the main use of Holographic sights?
Holographic sights tend to be used on weapons and are primarily used to look through glass. They are also more accurate than iron sights because a red dot will appear where you wish to hit.
What is the difference between the red-dot sight and the holographic sight?
The difference is that red-dot sights are cheaper to make, less accurate, and not as durable as holographic sights are. Both use an LED (light-emitting diode) to create a reticle (target dot) imposed onto a clear surface, but holographic sights are usually more accurate at long distances and do not "change" position in the glass when looked through at a different angle, which the reticles of red-dot sights often do. The key to this difference is that red-dot sights refract the laser emitted by the LED only once, allowing room for error, whereas holographic sights refract the one beam from the LED multiple times from multiple angles so that each laser refraction will reach the same place every time and will appear to remain consistent in its position to the shooter's eye.
What does co witness mean when using a red dot site?
It means the location of the red dot aligns with the iron sights. What this means is that a shooter doesn't have to change their sight picture when going from irons to optics, and they can use their irons viewing through the optic sight.
What is the main difference of the USE from a holographic sight and a red dot?
Red dot sights are generally very robust and have a long battery life. Some Aimpoint red dot sights have over 8 years' worth of continuous use from one singe battery. This makes the scope ideal for hunting, conventional warfare and home-defense as you don't know when you need to use the sight and have a great need of having it on all the time. Holographic sights are heavy and energy hungry but give a very good sight picture with better parallax. They are good in situations where you can predict when you will be using them. Examples are in competitive shooting or in advanced military and police operations where it is the user that starts the engagement. For the average gun owner the difference is negligible.

What is the common name of optical device on firearm?
There are a number of optical devices used on firearms. The most common is a telescoping sight, usually referred to as a "scope". There are others however, that while optical, do not magnify the image. These are sometimes referred to as "red dot" sights, and they use a sighting method that seems to suspend a red dot in the air where the bullet impact will be. Another version of the same thing is referred to as a "holographic" sight.
What do you use to put a red dot on Indians head?
Red dot over the fore head signifies the third eye (knowledge).Symbolic of mental vision.
How does the laser in a gun sight work?
There are two types of laser sights for a gun. The first type is a scope which has a laser dot inlaid in the actual lens. This dot is brightened using a batter. The dot does not actually "cast on" to it's target. The second type of laser sight actually does cast on to the target, and will produce a visible dot even outside of scoping. These typically cost more than the scope type sights, and use more batteries. Overall, they are both around the same accuracy.
