A standard 12 gauge pump-action shotgun typically holds 4 to 6 shells in its magazine tube, depending on the specific model and design. Some models may have a capacity of up to 8 shells with an extended magazine. Additionally, there is usually one shell in the chamber, allowing for a total of 5 to 7 rounds ready to fire. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact capacity of a particular shotgun.
A Winchester 12 gauge model 1200 pump shotgun holds 2 in the tube and 1 in the barrel. So it holds 2+1 which makes 3 total.
The Stevens Model 79 12 gauge pump shotgun typically has a magazine capacity of 5 rounds. Additionally, it can hold one round in the chamber, allowing for a total capacity of 6 rounds. Some variations may exist, so it's always best to check the specific model for its exact specifications.
it is not safe to fire 16 gauge shell in anything but a 16 gauge.No shells will interchange with other gauge guns since a 16 gauge shell would fit in a 12 gauge chamber, I would think you can do this.
That depends on the shotgun and whether it as a "sporting plug" installed. A plug will limit the gun to three in the magazine. Without the plug, the gun may hold a few more. General, no more than five or so however magazne extensions can push that to eight or more.
depends...mine holds three when shooting 2 3/4" shells
A .410 shotgun typically holds between 2 to 5 shells, depending on the specific model and design of the shotgun. Most commonly, a standard .410 shotgun with a break-action or pump-action mechanism will hold 3 to 5 shells in the magazine. Some single-shot models may only hold 1 shell at a time. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the exact capacity.
Doesn't hold "bullets" ... rather holds "cartridges", and most shotguns have two barrels, so it would hold two cartridges. don't they call shotgun ammo shells. and i think it depends on what type of shotgun it is that would dictate how many shells it holds? like: pump action 5-8 shells bolt action 2-3 shells semi hunting 4-8 semi tactical 6-20 and of course single shots.
yes.
most pump shot guns have a cap on the tube below the barrel, this must be screwed off to remove the plug, be careful game laws limit the number of shells allowed
The standard Rem. 870 express magnum tube magazine holds either 5 rounds of 2-3/4" shells ( +1 possible in the breech) or 4 rounds of 3" shells (+1 possible in the breech). There are extended tubes on the police or marine models that hold 7 rounds + 1 in the chamber. 2 round extensions are available from Midway & others.
