  Shotgun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A shotgun is a firearm typically used to fire a number of small spherical pellets, the shot, from a smoothbore barrel of relatively large diameter.
Shotguns made for close ranges, where the angular speed of the targets is great (such as skeet shooting, or upland bird hunting) tend to have shorter barrels, around 24 to 28 inches (610 to 710 mm).
Shotgun intended for defensive use are as short as 18 inches (457 mm) for civilian use (the minimum shotgun barrel length allowed by law in the United States).

Pump action shotguns are a subclass of shotguns that are distinguished in the way in which spent shells are extracted and fresh ones are chambered.
The pump action design is a little slower than a semi-automatic shotgun, but it offers greater flexibility in selection of shotshells, allowing the shooter to mix different types of loads and to permit usage of low-power or unreliable loads.
The pump action shotgun was invented by John Browning.

 Modern Firearms - Shotguns - Intro   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The shotguns were and still are used for hunting, since multiple projectiles increase the chances to hit the target with one shot, but shotguns also were used in combat in almost all wars since their introduction.
Most combat shotguns were and still are the adaptations of commercial, hunting firearms for the new role, but during the last three decades of the XX century some specialized combat shotguns were developed.
Shotguns can fire multiple projectiles of various sizes, creating a lethal pattern, which will increase chances of hitting target, or single large projectile, powerful enough to drop down a large brown bear, or incapacitate a human being protected in all but the heaviest body armour.

 Russian Pump-Action Shotguns
As the shells it fires are more shotgun-like than grenade-like, most experts refer to it as a shotgun, albeit on a very large scale.
It may appear to the casual glance to be a typical pump-action folding-stocked tactical shotgun, but a closer look will reveal that its operation is very different from other such weapons.
The pump-action is also quite different from the typical pump-action shotgun – it is actually a pump-forward design, with the slide action being raked forward to eject a spent round and back again to chamber a new round.
