But can all shotguns fire short shells. Plus how powerful are they compared to regular shells? And yes I have tried looking this up and no luck.
If it fits in the chamber, it will fire. Repeaters MAY not feed shells that are too short.

How powerful? look at the shot charge weight for one. See if velocity is listed anywhere, for the other. That information should be available from the maker.

I believe the short shells use a lighter shot charge, and I think at lower velocity than standard field loads.
