Are there long range shotguns?

Rifled slug guns will have the longest range by far. Couple points here though: Rifling causes shot to spread quite a bit faster than a smooth barrel. In theory you could use sabots in a rifled shotgun barrel to get nearly rifle accuracy/range.

What is the actual range of a shotgun?

Repeating shotguns, in which several cartridges could be loaded at once and successively positioned in the firing chamber by a cocking action, became available in the 1880s. In semiautomatic shotguns, firing a shot automatically positions the next round. Effective range of a modern weapon is about 50 yards (45 m).

How effective are shotguns?

The delivery of the large number of projectiles simultaneously makes the shotgun the most effective short range weapon commonly used, with a hit probability 45\% greater than a sub-machine gun (5-round burst), and twice as great as an assault rifle (3-round burst).

What is the farthest a shotgun can shoot?

Rifled slugs in a rifled barrel are good to 100 yards, but modern sabot slugs can be effective up to 200. Buckshot is usually within 50 yards, but my modified shotgun has such a long barrel combined with a very tight choke, and effectively fires high speed 00 buck at 100 yards.

What’s the farthest a shotgun can shoot?

The effective killing range of a shotgun is about that distance but the dangerous range is considerably more. For example, No. 7h shot carries, and is dangerous to humans, for 125 yards; No. 6 shot is dangerous for 250 yards; 3 and 4 shot are dangerous for 300 yards and BB shot is dangerous for 450 yards.

Are video game shotguns accurate?

Shotguns in video games also tend to be stupendously inaccurate, but this too is the opposite of reality; the purpose of the wider spread of a shotgun’s shot is that it increases the chance of hitting the target. Others have a choice between a Sawn-Off Shotgun with a huge spread and an intact one with longer range.
