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
The effective range of a 20-gauge shotgun typically extends from 30 to 50 yards, depending on the type of ammunition used and the shotgun's choke. For hunting small game or birds, 30 yards is often considered ideal, while for home defense, it can be effective at closer ranges. The spread of the shot and the type of load can further influence accuracy and effectiveness at various distances.
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.
The effective range of a shotgun typically varies between 25 to 50 yards for hunting and self-defense purposes, depending on the type of ammunition used and the shotgun's gauge. However, shotguns can technically fire projectiles over much greater distances; for example, a shotgun can reach distances of up to 100 yards or more with specific types of slugs. Nonetheless, accuracy and effectiveness significantly decrease beyond the effective range.
