A shotgun can shoot a slug (a big fat hunk of solid lead), it can shoot buck shot (several lead bb's of various size) and what I'll term regular shotgun shot, which is of varying size, smaller pellets than buckshot, (think something akin to the size of turnip seed, more or less depending on shot size) and provides a wide pattern.
So, a shotgun can require rather precise aim, in the case of using a slug, or can be aimed with less precision, and still hit a target, if using regular shot.
Shotguns are normally use for closer hunting scenarios, waterfowl, small game, etc. but with slugs can be used for hunting larger game, even bear and moose, etc. (but are not anywhere near as accurate as rifles at long distances)

The AR-15 normally uses 5.56 ammunition (or .223) but sometimes is configured to shoot other calibers. It is a high powered rifle that is accurate at long distances and used in military and civilian applications.
