Shotguns 101
The shotgun, originally known as “Haile Shotte Peics” was invented in 16th century England created for hunting birds. The term shotgun really wasn’t used until about 1776. The double barrel shotgun was introduced in the early 19th century, and today shotguns are typically smoothbore with no rifling, and shoot two types of ammunition: shells and slugs.
Types of Shotguns
There are many types of shotguns, but when buying a shotgun for sale online you are likely looking for either a semi-automatic shotgun, pump shotguns, and over under shotguns. In addition it is most likely the shotgun ammo you will be buying is either bird shot, or slugs in 12 and 20 gauge, but if you are buying a new shotgun for self-defense you will be looking to get buckshot.
Semi-Automatic Shotguns :
A semi-automatic shotgun automatically chambers a new shell after the gun is fired by the user. This means you can pull the trigger, and the gun will load the next shot itself, opposite of a pump action shotgun where you have to pump the action to reload that firearm. Some popular brands of semi-automatic shotguns include Benelli, Beretta, and Stoeger.Pump Action Shotguns :
A pump shotgun is a shotgun that uses a manual sliding “pump” action to load and eject shells. Because of the manual sliding action, pump shotguns can be less likely to jam than semi-automatic shotguns, and are an excellent option for hunting, home defense, and sport shooting.Over Under Shotguns :
An over under shotgun is one variation of a “double barrel shotgun” compared to its counterpart the side-by-side shotgun. The two barrels of the over under shotgun are stacked vertically, creating a single sight plane for the user. As a result of it being limited to two shots, these over under shotguns are most used for hunting birds, shooting sporting clays, and skeet shooting.
