Conventional shotguns run from 10 gauge (very big) to a .410 (smallest). The most common are 12 and 20 gauges, a little less common are the 16 gauge and .410 (.410 = 67 gauge). Some of the less common gauges are 32, 28, 24, and 10 gauge. There are also monster 'punt' guns usually 6 or 8 gauge mounted to a boat. The smaller the gauge number, the bigger the gun.

On shotguns how did they come up with 410 gauge?

First of all; .410 is NOT a gauge. It is a bore. The Gauges are determined by an antiquated method which was developed long before there ever was a .410 bore shotgun. NO ONE knows for sure exactly how and when the .410" bore shotgun actually came to be, but if that diameter - .410" -- were determined using the GAUGE method, it would be approximately a 67.5 Gauge. You can learn more merely by using your internet Search Engine feature. You can even learn how gauges are determined and that in Great Britain they don't use the term gauge at all for shotguns. THEN: if you really want to befuddle yourself, research Dram Equivalents. So: the answer is: nobody really knows . Your question falls in the same category as" HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH WHITE MEN?" Nobody knows.
