The effective range of a typical shotgun is about 45 meters
The 'maximum' range of ashotgun differs, I suggest getting a friend to stand around 10 metres away, fire the shotgun at them, if they are hit then it is more than 10 metres.
40 m or 131.2 feet for a 12-gauge M500 shotgun
Depends on what gauge, what load and barrel length
Well you see which is the maximum and subtracr it by the minimum answer.Then you subtract it by the answer of numbers.
20-100m or so depending on the specifics of the load.
40 m or 131.2 feet for a 12-gauge M500 shotgun
20 yards
It depends on the gun! artillery can be fired from 10-20 miles away and some sniper rifles can fire 2-3 miles but a shotgun has a maximum range of about 50m.
shotgun for close range and rifle for long range.
Maximum effective range at a point target: 550 metres Maximum effective range at an area target: 800 metres Maximum range: 3600 metres
You will have to specify whether you want to know point blank range, maximum range or maximum effective range.
The maximum range for the Mossberg 500 is 55 yds for shot (the Navy uses 00 buckshot), and 328 yds for rifled slugs. However, the effective ranges are about 44 yds for both, though of course slugs will do a lot more damage. The Mossberg 500 is an outstanding shotgun, easily maintained and durable (much more so than the Remington 870, which requires repair much sooner with comparable use).
