Shotguns aren't sniper rifles or anything, but as long as you're not using birdshot, you should be able to reach about 50, maybe 70 feet with one, without the group scattering too much. There's a reason they're used for hunting. Nobody would ever use a shotgun for any kind of hunting if they legitimately spread like they do in videogames.

While say, a Level III kind of vest will be perfectly capable of stopping buckshot (though not a slug), buckshot, at close range, will tear the shit out of drywall, wood, tile floors, furniture, etc. It'll penetrate like nobody's business.

It's kind of why shotguns have fallen somewhat out of use for home defense, while they pack one hell of a good whallop (even birdshot will mess you up good if the muzzle is a foot from you), stray shot can go pretty far, and any projectile you fire, you are responsible for.

If you ever feel the need, go hit up /k/, they love home made weapons.

I particularly like the idea of making a submachinegun, it's so lovably simple.

I don't really know, but since it's a piece of water-pipe or whatever, and not an actual gun barrel, I don't imagine that a prolonged use of slugs will make it stand for a long while. I mean, they'll fire, and it probably won't explode, but I'd rather be on the safe side.

Besides, four-winds are light as fuck, so a slug will kick like a bastard. If you ever make a four-winds, you might want to wrap some good grip tape around both of the pipes, to make sure recoil won't throw the "firing mechanism" out of your hand", keep a firm grip is all I'm saying.
