20-Gauge
A 20-gauge refers to a specific size of shotgun, which is a type of firearm commonly used for hunting and sport shooting. The term "gauge" indicates the diameter of the shotgun barrel, with a 20-gauge being smaller than a 12-gauge. This size is popular for its balance of power and manageable recoil, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced shooters.
In terms of ammunition, a 20-gauge shotgun typically uses shells that contain smaller pellets compared to larger gauges. This allows for effective shooting at various game, such as birds and small mammals. The versatility and lighter weight of the 20-gauge make it a favored choice among many hunters and sport shooters.
