What is the maximum range of a slug fired from the M500?

The maximum range of a slug fired from the M500 shotgun is indeed around 1079 meters. This distance is attributed to the characteristics of the slug itself, which is designed to be aerodynamically stable and to carry a significant amount of kinetic energy over a considerable distance. The slug’s design and the propellant used in the M500 contribute to its ability to maintain a flatter trajectory compared to traditional shotgun pellets.

Understanding the ballistics of the slug is crucial for tactical and operational planning, as it informs the shooter about the effective engagement distances and the necessary considerations for accuracy and impact. The other ranges provided are either underestimations or overestimations based on the technical specifications and performance of the M500 and its ammunition.
