No standard abbreviation
ammunition means "to be fired from a gun" so slug ammunition means they use it as a bullet ,or with one ,or maybe they have a bullet as a shape of a slug
Slug could be a snail like animal. It could also mean one heavy bullet.
of Slug
have a gunsmith do this, push a slug of close dia through the rifle, and micrometer the bullet. this will give the true bore size.
Yes, any bullet can kill you. The amount of damage a bullet does depends on several factors, basically: where it hits you, how hard it hits you, and how big the bullet is (or how much it expands).
The 410 is a shotgun round. Slug loads are available and have been made for decades.
There are three common meanings for the word slug. One is a mollusk similar to a snail, but without a shell, the second is a type of bullet that is larger than buckshot, and the third is a big swallow, as in taking a 'slug' from a bottle of whiskey.
Easy, look it up on wikipedia to see how its pretty complex. The main thing is the spring that hits the slug in the bullet that ignites the gunpowder and launches the bullet out of the weapon.
A sabot, often referred to as a sabot slug, is a single projectile bullet that is fired from a shotgun. A sabot slug is usually covered in plastic which breaks off upon impact.

rifle bullet Assuming you mean the slug as a form of shotgun load, then, it depends. The slug is significantly heavier than a typical .30 caliber (7.62mm) rifle round, and the sabot nature of the slug load for a shotgun produces a reasonable amount of muzzle velocity (though, less than a quarter that of a typical rifle). Due to the nature of shotguns, and the lower initial velocity, the slug has significantly shorter range (100m, maybe) than a typical rile (which can be used up to 1000m). Inside that range, however, the slug has enormous energy. The effectiveness of the slug vs the rifle bullet really depends on the type of target being shot at. The small cross-section and very high velocity of the rifle bullet make it good for punching through thin but strong materials (kevlar, lexan, steel), but poor for thicker materials (including tissue, where rifle bullets tend to make a small hole straight through, but cause little extra damage). A slug's big diameter, much slower speed and high mass make it excellent for penetrating layered materials (e.g. a car doors, masonry, etc.), plus, it causes massive tissue damage.
Are you interested in knowing how far a 12 gauge slug will travel, or are you looking for the distance various loads of shot will travel?
