Birdshot refers to small, spherical pellets used in shotgun ammunition for hunting birds and small game. The most common types include lead birdshot, which is traditional but increasingly restricted due to environmental concerns, and steel birdshot, which is non-toxic and often required for waterfowl hunting. Additionally, there are other alternatives like bismuth and tungsten-based shot, which offer similar performance with less environmental impact. Birdshot is categorized by size, with common designations ranging from #8 (smaller pellets) to #2 (larger pellets), affecting the spread and impact on the target.
