Shotgun slug injuries: case report and literature review.

Shotguns are usually used to fire multiple pellets; however, they are capable of firing a single projectile in the form of a slug.

We report the first survivor of a close range shotgun slug injury, with a review of this weapon's unique projectile ballistics and the relevant literature.
