bismuth pellets fired through a shotgun barrel.

the slug or shot in a shotshell. The wad prevents gas from escaping through the shot and
holds the shot together as it passes through the barrel.

ammunition, the primer is located in the center of the casing base. Most centerfire
ammunition is reloadable.
