The measure related to the diameter of the bore and the size of the shotgun shell is known as "gauge." The gauge is determined by the number of lead balls of the bore diameter that equal one pound; for example, a 12-gauge shotgun has a bore diameter that allows for 12 lead balls of that diameter to weigh one pound. The smaller the gauge number, the larger the bore size. This system is commonly used to classify shotguns and their corresponding ammunition.

Can a pistol shoot a shotgun shell?

No, a standard pistol cannot fire a shotgun shell because shotgun shells are designed to be used in shotguns, which have a larger chamber and barrel diameter. Pistol chambers are specifically sized for handgun cartridges, and attempting to fire a shotgun shell in a pistol could result in a catastrophic failure of the firearm. However, there are specialized firearms, like certain types of pistols or revolvers designed to accommodate shotgun shells, but these are exceptions rather than the rule.
