Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No.

eta: I mean, this could include machine guns, for instance.

Crap, just saw bon's edit:

also, not all that many shotguns have two barrels, but you won't see a rifle with it.

I think I'll add this back to the list of things it's not worth it for me to figure out/remember.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My parents made my bedroom into a "reloading room."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Two barrels is automatically a shotgun. If it's loaded by either breaking the gun in half, or by using a pump underneath the barrel, it's a shotgun. If it has a bolt, or has an ammunition magazine in front of the trigger, it's a rifle.

Shotguns can have long barrels. The longest rifles are gonna be longer than the longest shotguns, but there can be overlap.

OK. Break open = shotgun. Two barrels = shotgun. This is a start.
