But the shot pattern is so wide, if you miss with a shotgun, really, a reload can't help you.
BMECT! :) If you miss, firing again can help, particularly with a tight choke.
Also, for people who can't see the difference easily: if it's got two barrels, it's a shotgun. If it has a sight, it's a rifle.
Another Woot for the pile: I got a small check from USC today. It was roughly the amount that the republicans stole from my tax return.
It is very sad how much I know about the form but not the function of long guns. Or just disturbing.

No, you're right, in fact I think Homecoming had one, though I wasn't positive it was a shotgun. Um, you might use them for turkey. I'm trying to give a rule of thumb.

Is one barrel vs two a rule of thumb? I am a gun idiot.

All two-barrel guns (that are not handguns) are shotguns.
I'm telling you bon bon, you should hang out with my mom. After all, she's got the reloader in the basement.

Are all long one-barrel guns rifles?
