What is Slug Ammunition?
Shotgun slugs, simply called slugs, are specially designed lead bullets whose diameter matches the caliber of the barrel. Originally developed by Wilhelm Brenneke, these bullets are used in shooting sports and as hunting ammunition. Unlike shotshells, slugs contain a solid projectile that ensures high precision and penetration power.

Hunting Use and Safety
In Germany, the use of shotgun slugs on game animals is permitted. They are especially valued on group hunts for their effectiveness.
Magnum-loaded slugs with a case length of 76 mm can be used at distances up to 100 meters, offering sufficient accuracy and bullet impact. Slug ammunition offers a low risk of ricochets despite its high kinetic energy and penetration power. The bullets can penetrate grass and thin branches without deflection, enhancing precision.
In some countries, such as France, Italy, and Spain, the use of slugs for hunting is more common than rifles due to their lower danger range and high effectiveness.
