The 12-gauge shotgun for the hunters

If you can only own one gun as a hunter and it’s got to be a good one, I’d suggest you get a 12-gauge shotgun. While some people out there will advocate for other weapons that are also more expensive, there’s no denying the 12-gauge shotgun is an extremely versatile one.

The 12-gauge offers more power than the 20-gauge and shoots ammo designed for its larger bore making it more versatile. The extra power makes it more effective in the field and also more exciting. It’s adept at hunting down games of basically all sizes and It’s the proper amount of power for a wide range of animals.

The 12-gauge shotgun is versatile also because of the design of shotgun ammunition. Shotguns use 3 different types of shells: birdshot, buckshot, and slugs.

birdshot, buckshot, and slugs
Birdshot, Buckshot, and Slugs

Birdshot and buckshot both fire multiple metal pellets. There are many different sizes of birdshot and buckshot for different usage. Birdshot pellets are smaller than buckshot pellets. Slugs are single projectiles, like a bullet in any rifle. Each of these types of the shotgun shell has a specific purpose, which is what makes the shotgun so special.

12-gauge shotguns are perfect for small games if you load them with the right kind of birdshot. There are many sizes of birdshot, which are categorized according to the diameter size. The smaller the diameter, the bigger the number of pellets in the shell.

Large game is where buckshot and slugs are more effective. A buckshot shell also has pellets like birdshot, but in this case pellets are much larger and suitable for larger game. Slugs also are perfect for larger game, like deer.

What if you just want to use The Khan A-Tac tactical PUMP K500 in a shooting range?

There are ranges designed specifically for shotguns and aerial target shooting. Skeet, trap and sporting clay ranges exist just for this reason! Even if most rifle and pistol ranges prohibit shooting at airborne targets for safety reasons. Rifle and pistol ranges make use of carefully placed backstops to catch bullets, but once the guns are aimed in the air, the backstops that those shooting range use become useless.

However, many outdoor shooting range and recently even some indoor ranges allow the use of shotguns using certain ammunition types. For example, indoor ranges usually stop you from shooting pellet loads where big patterns of lead shot can damage target hanger systems. However, the use of solid projectiles like slugs may be allowed. Outdoor ranges are a little more flexible and may allow you to shoot pellet loads — with the only condition that you don’t shoot at aerial targets.
