  12 Gauge
Sabot slug shells for 12 gauge "shotguns" with rifled barrels typically drive a 1 ounce slug from a 2 3/4 inch case at 1450 fps, or the same slug from a 3 inch case at 1550 fps.
The principle drawbacks of the 12 gauge shotgun are the size and weight of the typical 12 gauge gun itself, especially the repeaters, and the recoil generated by the big shells.
This is equivalent to the recoil of a.378 Weatherby Magnum rifle, and exceeds the recoil of a typical.458 Winchester Magnum rifle.
