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.
My food is problematic.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm telling you bon bon, you should hang out with my mom. After all, she's got the reloader in the basement.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Are all long one-barrel guns rifles?
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.

Bhahahahah! That's love right there. My mom's reloader is on the same table as the sewing machine. She probably uses the reloader more often.

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

And the pumpy ka-chunk thing? Shotgun.

Honestly? I only want to know this because I hate there being stuff I don't know. Which is an idiotic reason.

It's my reason d'etre, to mangle a language or two. The possible practical applications of depth of field in paintings to my life? None.

Yeah, but you're at least interested in the depth of field thing. I don't actually care at all what kind of gun is what. This is when I wish you could just stick a big needle in the back of my head and insert knowledge.
