What kind of accuracy does it have shooting slugs? Since it is smoothbore I'd guess that it isn't going to be terribly accurate.

Hello - We actually had one of our tech team members, Derek Goins, do an extensive review of the gun including the accuracy of the slugs at different distances. Here is a link to the blog with the information:

He was able to get 2" groups at 25 yards. We wouldn't suggest moving back much further (if any) when hunting.

Just a random thought, possibly not feasible as I obviously haven't seen the gun yet - since it has a threaded barrel, to which a choke can be fitted, wouldn't it be possible to add an extra "piece of barrel", with rifling in it, in stead of the choke? Sort of a Smooth Twist concept. No idea if such would work for slugs at all, but still.
