Whats the most shells a shotgun will hold?

Answer 1

Well, different types of shotguns can hold varying amounts of rounds or shells. For example a Side by Side, or an Over & Under barreled shotguns can hold two rounds. The "typical" or "average" shotgun can hold 6-8 rounds without a plug. For example the Remington 870 or the newer model the 887. A plug is used to limit the amount of rounds in order to shoot types of game, like waterfowl, in which hunters are only allowed 3 rounds loaded at one time (on certain lands). Some home defense models of shotguns hold 12-15 rounds, depending on the model of course. A popular high capacity model is the Saiga shotgun, holding 10-20 rounds depending on the magazine, having both semi-auto and full auto variants.
