You will need to have it examined by a good gunsmith.
Browning Pump Shotgun "BPS"
Pellets or slugs. shotguns usually shoot shot or pellets, but you can shoot slugs. in Indiana we use a shotgun to hunt deer and use shotgun slugs, better to use a barrel with no choke in it. cylinder bore preferred.
they help with patterns of shot and accuracy of slugs
In the case of a rifle or handgun, it is a shot group. In the case of a shotgun, it may be a pattern (for small shot) or a shot group for slugs.

The black powered gun was first and it shot shotgun slugs but the pistol was the first gun ever invented
Yes, as long as it has the right choke for slugs (cylinder or improved cylinder), the vents will make no difference to the slug, and will reduce recoil slightly.
Slugs and shot are simply the contents of the packaged shotshells. Any shotshell can be filled with shot of various sizes, including 00 buck or with slugs and any shotgun (single shot; pump, double or automatic) that will chamber that shell can shoot those loadings. One caution is that slugs and buckshot should not be used in shotguns fitted with full chokes. Modified chokes and improved cylinders are probably OK, and full chokes can be used with birdshot (smaller pellets).
Generally "Pellets" or "Shot" contained in "Shells". There are also solid shot "Slugs" similarly contained in "Shells". I'd use Shells ie "8 shotgun shells", unless you are specifying exactly the type.
Assuming you mean a shotgun with a rifled bore, yes it can. However, you will not be happy with the results. A rifled shotgun bore is intended for use with sabot type slugs. And for those, it does very well. However, when firing ANY shot cartridge, the rifling will impart a spin to the fired shot (by spinning the shot cup). That spin will cause the pellets to spread apart, leaving an open hole in the middle of the shot. At longer distances, the shot pattern will look something like a doughnut. Likely resulting in a missed or wounded animal. For shot loads or rifled (Foster type) slugs, stick with the smoothbore. For sabot slugs, use the rifled bore.
anything that walks, flys or moves. 12 ga shotgun with shot or slugs give you the all around firearm.
