The amount of shot is about 1/2 that of a 12 gauge. When I used to shoot skeet, the .410 was a tad more difficult to score with.
i see so it only lacks on the flying targets
The 410 doesn't lack anything. You just have to be a better shot with it and you'll take any game with a 410 that you could have taken with any other shotgun.

Yah....not really. .410 range is not the same as a 12 ga. What works on the skeet field does not work on the trap range.
22's and 410's have long been used to start people out in the shooting sports because of less recoil, and a percieved idea that somehow they are less leathal?
except for the one thing that few people seem to know about and is rarely written about...........different size shot perform differently in different size stacks of shot. Diameter, height of the shot column and shot size do affect the pattern. In general 6 shot is the largest shot you should use in a .410 before going to a 20 gauge.If the FPS of the pellet is say 800 FPS and the pellet is a 7 shot or4 shot they will behave the exact same way if fired from a 410
or a 12 gauge. Physics is physics."
