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.
Most commercially available shotgun shells come in boxes of 25.
AA-12
When hunting, most states will require that a shotgun not be able to hold more than 3 shells- the plug blocks the magazine to limit how many shells. When not hunting, the plug is not required. It IS required when hunting any migratory bird- such as ducks, geese or dove.
Most hold ammo in tube under the barrel. Make sure firearm is empty then unscrew the end cap on tube/magazine. Plug should be there.
Doesn't hold "bullets" ... rather holds "cartridges", and most shotguns have two barrels, so it would hold two cartridges. don't they call shotgun ammo shells. and i think it depends on what type of shotgun it is that would dictate how many shells it holds? like: pump action 5-8 shells bolt action 2-3 shells semi hunting 4-8 semi tactical 6-20 and of course single shots.
Most sports stores will have them. Wal-Mart might have them. But E-Bay I know has them.
When they get hold of your double barrel shotgun yes and if you run
Not sure I understand your question. Lead is used in a lot of (but not all) shotshells. Barium, Bismuth, Copper, Tin, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen are also found in most shot shells.
480 cannon shells. Most of the weapons are air-to-air missiles. The 480 shells are enough for 5 seconds of firing.
3 with a plug.without a plug most shotguns hold 5 some a little more
Only one can be chambered unless you have a double barrel, then there can be two. If you mean how many can be in the magazine of a repeating shotgun, you can have onlyone in the chamber and two in the magazine when hunting migratory waterfowl. Otherwise, as many as it will hold (commonly 5 in most pumps or automatics and 3 in bolt actions). However, if you live in an anti-gun state like Kalifornia or New Jersey, there may be legal limits, but they should only affect "hi-capacity" removable magazines, ie, no magazines that hold more than 9 shells.
AnswerAs many as it will hold. There are no laws regarding how much ammunition you can load into a gun.Check your local state hunting rules, especially for bird hunting, most states will only allow 3 shells to be loaded, most new shotguns will have include a filler plug to allow only 3 shells.However, when hunting MIGRATORY birds, such as dove, geese, ducks, FEDERAL game laws in the US do not permit the use of a gun that will hold more than 3 shells.
