>How could you do this in real life?
It's probably some bullshit computerized smart ammo thing where the shot is steel and in the middle of the shot column is a small electromagnet. The gun can tell the magnet to either be energized and keep the pellets clumped into a slug until impact, or not energized allowing the shot to spread normally. The real question is does the magnet get its power from the gun or does it have its own battery in each shot and how long can the battery be energized as it flies through the air before it loses power and the shot separates? The fact that the gun in your screenshot lights up suggest the gun has the power source.
