This article is a list of shotguns. Shotguns have traditionally fired iron, stone or lead shot stored in large shells that are normally loaded into a chamber, one shell at a time. Each shell may contain as many as 200 pellets of shot. Environmental concerns have led to changing shot to contain tungston, steel, or other less hazardous materials to prevent lead from entering the food chain.
