the barrel of the gun will tell you what size shell it is chambered for. usuay it will say “chambered for 2 3/4” -3" shells" or something like that. ---

well its either slugs or “bird shot” ( BBs inside the shell ). Slugs will have the led showing when you look at the end of the bullit. the “bird shot” will be folded over to contain the BBs. slugs are for a longer distance and bigger impact the spread shot will be for closer range less impact for smaller items and or blowing shit up. slugs kick more. as JEG stated. read the barrel of the gun it will tell you the lenth the gun takes. and the bullit at the primer end will tell you 12GA or 16GA ect… Don’t put anything but the correct ammo in. ---
