Shotgun Shells Explained - Types, Components & Safety Guide #255881 (License: Personal Use)

This diagrammatic illustration depicts two standard shotgun shells: one standing vertically and another lying horizontally with its open end facing down, releasing a cascade of lead pellets (shot). The shells feature green plastic hulls with yellow brass bases, typical of modern hunting or target loads. The visual emphasizes internal structure-primer, propellant, wad, and shot column-for educational purposes.

Used on firearm safety guides, ammunition product pages, hunting education sites, and beginner shooting tutorials. Matches user intent to understand shell composition, compare loads, or identify parts for reloading or troubleshooting.
