[edit] Info needed

Need info on the different gauges, the different materials, how the shot is typically pushed out of the gun in modern shotguns, and other types of "shot" like "snake shot" or "00 buck shot".

[edit] Season shot

I yanked the link to http://seasonshot.com/ because I'm not convinced it's real--it doesn't show up in the USPTO database, and the product isn't on the market yet; I'm betting it's a hoax. To be effective on game, the sectional density would have to be at least as high as steel, and that seems unlikely to be possible with non-toxic, water soluble materials. It's also going to have to survive being accelerated from zero to Mach 1 in a couple of milliseconds. See internal ballistics, external ballistics and terminal ballistics for more information on why this seems so improbable. scot 16:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
