A slug (also called shotgun slug) is a type of load for 12 gauge shotgun shells. The particular version that is standard-issue in Mazeworld are 12 gauge shells containing Foster slugs. Foster slugs were originally designed by Karl M. Foster of Winchester, and bear the distinctive grooves which allowed the use of slugs in smoothbore, choked barrels.

On a meta point of view, slugs work similarly to bullets, as they are single projectile shells instead of multiple projectile shells like Buckshot.
