A\u00a0shotgun<\/b>\u00a0(also known as a\u00a0scattergun<\/b>,[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0or historically as a\u00a0fowling piece<\/b>) is a\u00a0long-barreled<\/a>\u00a0firearm<\/a>\u00a0designed to shoot a straight-walled\u00a0cartridge<\/a>\u00a0known as a\u00a0shotshell<\/a>, which usually discharges numerous small\u00a0pellet<\/a>-like spherical sub-projectiles<\/a>\u00a0called\u00a0shot<\/a>, or sometimes a single solid projectile called a\u00a0slug<\/a>. Shotguns are most commonly\u00a0smoothbore<\/a>\u00a0firearms, meaning that their\u00a0gun barrels<\/a>\u00a0have no\u00a0rifling<\/a>\u00a0on the inner wall, but rifled barrels for shooting slugs (slug barrels<\/a>) are also available.<\/p>\n

Shotguns come in a wide variety of\u00a0calibers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0gauges<\/a>\u00a0ranging from 5.5\u00a0mm (.22\u00a0inch) to up to 5\u00a0cm (2.0\u00a0in), though the\u00a012-gauge<\/a>\u00a0(18.53\u00a0mm or 0.729\u00a0in) and\u00a020-gauge<\/a>\u00a0(15.63\u00a0mm or 0.615\u00a0in) bores are by far the most common. Almost all are\u00a0breechloading<\/a>, and can be single-barreled,\u00a0double-barreled<\/a>\u00a0or in the form of\u00a0combination guns<\/a>. Like rifles, shotguns also come in a range of different\u00a0action<\/a>\u00a0types, both\u00a0single-shot<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0repeating<\/a>. For non-repeating designs,\u00a0over-and-under<\/a>\u00a0break action<\/a>\u00a0shotguns are by far the most common variant. Although\u00a0revolving shotguns<\/a>\u00a0did exist, most modern repeating shotguns are either\u00a0pump-action<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0semi-automatic<\/a>, and also\u00a0fully automatic<\/a>,\u00a0lever-action<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0bolt-action<\/a>\u00a0to a lesser extent.<\/p>\n

Preceding smoothbore firearms (such as the\u00a0musket<\/a>) were widely used by armies in the 18th century. The\u00a0muzzleloading<\/a>\u00a0blunderbuss<\/a>, the direct ancestor of the shotgun, was also used in similar roles from self-defense to riot control. Shotguns were often favored by\u00a0cavalry<\/a>\u00a0troops in the early to mid-19th century because of its ease of use and generally good effectiveness on the move, as well as by coachmen for its substantial power. But by the late 19th century, these weapons became largely replaced on the battlefield by\u00a0breechloading<\/a>\u00a0rifled firearms shooting spin-stabilized\u00a0cylindro-conoidal bullets<\/a>, which were far more accurate with longer\u00a0effective ranges<\/a>. The military value of shotguns was rediscovered in the\u00a0First World War<\/a>, when\u00a0American<\/a>\u00a0forces used the pump-action\u00a0Winchester Model 1897s<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0trench fighting<\/a>\u00a0to great effect.
