A bismuth atom has 6 electron shells.
You can not use. Or should not use. The wad stays with shot exiting. I suggest improved cylinder or bore
Bismuth has a lower boiling point than antimony because bismuth has a larger atomic radius and weaker metallic bonding, which makes it easier for bismuth atoms to escape into the gas phase at a lower temperature. Antimony, on the other hand, has a smaller atomic radius and stronger metallic bonding, requiring more energy to break the bonds and reach its boiling point temperature.
Not sure I understand your question. Lead is used in a lot of (but not all) shotshells. Barium, Bismuth, Copper, Tin, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen are also found in most shot shells.

To determine if shotgun shells are made of steel or lead, you can use a magnet. Steel shotgun shells will be attracted to the magnet, while lead shotgun shells will not.

Most commercially available shotgun shells come in boxes of 25.
Air soft shotgun shells are the size of 12 gauge shotgun shells.
Bismuth shotgun shells will not damage older shotguns. The only exception are Damascus and twist steel barrels. Bismuth shotshells are made from a patented bismuth alloy which produces a shot which is soft like lead, meaning it moves smoothly through the gun barrel. Instron compression tests indicate that bismuth will deform at 723 lbs. of pressure. This compares favorably to lead, and is lower than any other non-toxic shot, inlcuding steel, tungsten, and tungsten alloys. All of these shots will not compress until pressures well over those needed to avoid damage to a shotgun barrel. That is the reason that the loaders of shotgun shells containing those elements recomend that shooters do not use full chokes when using their products. The one shell which is different is a new load by Hevi-Shot called Classic Doubles. Unfortunately, Classic Doubles fracture before they can deform at around 1000 lbs. of pressure. This means that that Classic Double shot breaks into pieces before it can reach the target. Bismuth shotgun shells will not damage older shotguns.
