why shotguns use shells not clips?

Answer 1

omg u are frickin dumb shells are from the beach and made of hard ceramics like lilian hong stuff and clips are from clothing dee dee dee
by the way, want beef soup?

Answer 2

Shotguns are GENERALLY used for hunting, and a clip is not needed. Most shotguns hold 5 shells, yet most states allow hunters to only have 3 shells loaded in the gun. Many states even require that a "plug" be inserted into the gun to prevent any more than 3 shells being loaded. I have heard stories of Vietnam era soldiers having their personally acquired shotguns modified by Vietnamese gunsmiths to take a drum magazine similar to what tommyguns had. I don't know if they were made fully automatic, or it was done just to add capacity and quicken reloading.

Answer 3

I saw on TV about this automatic shotgun thing. It had round/wheel magazine with bunch of shogun shells loaded in it. I don't think they'll allow that for general public for obvious reasons.

Answer 4

they make shotguns with clip ever heard of a F.A.S. that stands for fully automatic shotgun and it has a belt clip. But I figure the ones with clips is out of our price range that's why we don't see them.

Answer 5

It's the way they're built.

Why do they have a range of about 20 feet when a puny little 9mm will shoot over a hundred?

Why do shotguns hit a burglar 25 times with one shot when a 9mm can hit only one at a time?

Different guns for different conservatives. Different damage for different liberals. Depends on what you're hunting.

Answer 6

A shotgun shell is a lot bigger than a bullet.

Answer 7

A clip is actually different than a magazine. I know people seem to interchange "clip" and "magazine" but they are different.

Answer 8

For clarification -

Shells is the ammunition containing powder, casing, and projectile.

Clips is the ammunition holder that fits into the weapon.
