There's this common misconception that shotguns can't shoot further than a room or two, and that the pellets go flying in all directions. I'd imagine that most people have heard of slugs but I don't think too many actually know what they are. From the way people talk about shotguns, it seems like most just picture everything to be birdshot but with less range and more spread.
Where did this idea that shotguns are inherently inaccurate, only useful at extremely close ranges, and ineffective at causing damage past a few yards come from? I know they're typically garbage in video games. I've even heard old people talk about how shotguns can't shoot far though. It drives me crazy. Shotguns are some of the most versatile tools in the firearms world and in reality, you can send a slug extremely far.
