Which type of ammunition is used for shotguns?

Bullet
Round
Projectiles
Shotshell

The correct answer is: Shotshell

Shotguns use a type of ammunition called shotshells. Shotshells contain pellets or small spherical projectiles that are loaded into cartridges along with gunpowder for propulsion. This type of ammunition is specifically designed to be used with shotguns, as it is able to scatter or spread upon firing, providing a wider range of impact than bullets or rounds used in other firearms. This makes it useful for hunting and sporting purposes, as well as for self-defense. The other options, bullets, rounds, and projectiles, are not typically used with shotguns and are better suited for rifles and handguns. So, shotshell is the correct and most appropriate choice for ammunition used in shotguns.
