A shotguns is a shoulder-fired firearm designed to fire multiple projectiles (shot) or a single slug from a smooth or rifled barrel. Known for their stopping power and adaptability, shotguns are favored for bird and small-game hunting, clay sports, and personal defense. Unlike rifles, which use rifled barrels to stabilize single bullets, shotguns excel at short- to medium-range engagements with wide shot patterns.
Shotguns are classified by gauge rather than caliber, with 12 Gauge being the most common choice for hunting, clay sports, and tactical use. 20 Gauge is a lighter option preferred for upland birds, youth shooters, and those sensitive to recoil. Smaller gauges like .410 Bore offer excellent training and small-game capability. At Pathfinder Militaria, we stock shotguns chambered in all three, ensuring options for every skill level and application.

What gauge shotgun is best for home defense?
12 Gauge is the most common choice due to stopping power, but 20 Gauge offers manageable recoil while still being effective.
Can I hunt deer with a shotgun?
Yes. Many hunters use 12 Gauge or 20 Gauge shotguns with rifled barrels and slugs for deer hunting in states that allow it.
What’s the difference between pump and semi-auto shotguns?
Pump shotguns require manual cycling of the action, while semi-autos automatically load the next shell. Semi-autos are faster, pumps are often simpler and more affordable.
Is .410 Bore powerful enough for defense?
While effective at close range, .410 Bore has limited stopping power compared to larger gauges. It is more often used for small game or as a training round.
How often should I clean my shotgun?
Clean after every hunt or range session. Regular cleaning ensures smooth cycling, prevents corrosion, and maintains accuracy.
