BT GUN COMPANY

Shotguns have been around since the 17th century, but the development of shotgun ammunition came much later. Early shotguns used round balls or large shot, and the guns were primarily used for hunting birds and small game.

In the mid-19th century, the introduction of brass shotgun shells with paper hulls revolutionized the use of shotguns. These shells could hold a larger amount of shot and gunpowder, allowing for a more effective and powerful shot.

By the late 1800s, shotgun ammunition had evolved to include a variety of sizes and types of shot, including buckshot and slug rounds. The use of shotguns in military and law enforcement also led to the development of specialized ammunition, such as breaching rounds and less-lethal options like beanbag rounds.

Today, shotgun ammunition continues to be a popular choice for hunting and sporting purposes, as well as for home defense and law enforcement applications.

The development of new materials and manufacturing techniques has led to the creation of high-performance shotgun shells with greater accuracy and stopping power.

Shotguns are the most versatile firearms on the market. They can be used for competitions of all kind, for home defense, and hunting almost any animal in the United States.

The difference all lies in the ammunition you choose for the job. At BT Gun Company we carry a wide selection of popular shotgun shells including buckshot, birdshot, and slugs available by the box, case, or in bulk.
