Information
has glosseng: The 20-gauge shotgun is a type of shotgun that is less common than the 12-gauge. This may be because the 20-gauge shotgun has a smaller diameter bore(in caliber it would be a .615 caliber)than the 12-gauge(.729 caliber). It takes 20 lead balls of the diameter of a 20-gauge shotgun bore to equal 1 pound, while it only takes 12 lead balls of the diameter of a 12-gauge shotgun bore to equal the same amount. A 20-gauge shotgun is sometimes considered more suitable for hunting certain types of game, because it destroys less meat,which makes it suitable for most game birds. The 20 gauge is also well suited for turkey hunting because you are only aiming for the neck and head.
