Could I get an explanation longer than eli5? What are the different uses and purposes of gauges, etc.

I'm not a gun guy and googling didn't help much. Although I did find that graphic.

    :this:

    Though I should add that a 20 gauge slug should definitely be sufficient to drop a deer

    And that the felt recoil relief from going semi-auto on a 12 gauge is probably better than going down to a 20.
