7-100 m depending on load
M870 is a military nomenclature. In the US Military, M870 is the nomenclature both for the Remington Model 870 shotgun, and for a manually detached Removable Goose Neck (RGN) semitrailer.
The effective range of a typical shotgun is about 45 meters
As with any shotgun firing shotshells, you're only going to have an effective range of about 100 metres. Shotguns are very close range weapons.
40 m or 131.2 feet for a 12-gauge M500 shotgun
Depends on what gauge, what load and barrel length
20-100m or so depending on the specifics of the load.
20 yards
40 m or 131.2 feet for a 12-gauge M500 shotgun
Well you see which is the maximum and subtracr it by the minimum answer.Then you subtract it by the answer of numbers.
The effective range of the 12 gauge shotgun caps out at about 40 yards when firing lead shot. This range increases slightly or decreases significantly depending on the ammunition used, with a solid lead shot being the furthest ranged shot.
i would get a shotgun because shotgun are more effective, but it depends on the purpose
shotgun for close range and rifle for long range.
