How many shells fit in a Mossberg Shockwave?
The Shockwave's capacity is 5+1 when loading 2 3/4" shells. Loading 3" shells drops the capacity to 4+1, while using 1 3/4 " long Aguila Ammunition Mini Shells increases the capacity to 8+1. These numbers are based on what I could stuff into the magazine in the course of testing.

What shotgun will shoot mini shells?
The Mossberg 500 series—specifically the 500, 590, and the 590 Shockwave—is the GOAT with mini shells so long as you rock that OPSol Mini-Clip. In my experience, this combination works 100% of the time.

The Shockwave comes in 12 gauge or 20 gauge. Shortly after its release, Remington followed with their own version called the Tac-14 based on the Model 870.

Any pump gun can run mini shells, however, they may not run reliably. Reportedly they work perfectly in the Kel-Tec KSG, and with the Opsol Mini Clip they run 100% in Mossberg 500 series shotguns. The Mossberg Shockwave can be a challenge to shoot, but with these shells, it's light recoiling, and easy to control.

What ammo does a Mossberg 500 12 gauge use?
Mossberg 500 and 590 will feed any 2 3/4″ and 3″ 12g shells reliably. They will also use the mini-12g shells as well, but you have to be careful as those can mis-feed sometimes.
