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.

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.
Slugs. You CAN shoot lead bird shot in a rifled barrel but it will not give you good or consistant patterns.
anything that walks, flys or moves. 12 ga shotgun with shot or slugs give you the all around firearm.
