There are 2 types of slugs. Pump action and normal. All shotguns, including MAX shotguns, use normal slugs but pump action shotguns.
Normal slugs-
500 damage at 8m.
334 damage at 40m.
Pump action slugs-
800 damage at 8m.
400 damage at 40m.
All in all, slugs will remove raw damage no matter the weapon for normalizing damage. Normal slugs will have a 2-3 hit kill even with head shots and Pump slugs have a change for a one hit head shot kill. Another up side is that the weapons pellet spread is ignored and slugs only use the the base COF, travel speed, and bloom. The base COF + being able to ADS makes slugs a half-assed sniper with slow speeds but that bloom often makes it impossible to do rapid fire and maintain accuracy like most other weapons. Plus the amount of drop slugs have tends to make it rather hard to take them at range anyway.
Slugs are cheaper than a new weapon but give that new weapon feel to the shotgun you put them on. They just are not that good compared to another weapon you can take if range is what you need.
