Ok, so I just bought my first shotgun (former military, and longtime pistol/rifle owner). I've got next to zero experience with shotguns however. It's a GForce GFY-1 i bought it without reading reviews, which say it jams a lot. Whoops. Anyways, it comes with 3 chokes, and I have no idea which is for what scenario. Can someone ELI5 the use for them?

Also after reading reviews it says you can't use slugs, why is that? Also, if I can't use slugs, is it ok to use other spicy ammo like dragons breath or flechettes or anything?

Edit: sold it before putting a single shell through it and bought a Remington 870. But I still want a tough semi auto.

I was curious about the why's of it so I googled. I do not own the shotgun or have personal experience with it.

They say you can do it, but use the right choke. I'd say take it to the local gun range and ask them for advice.
