 Shotgun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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).
Marines tended to use pump shotguns, since the pump action was less likely to jam in the humid and dirty conditions of the Pacific campaign.
Shotguns have also been referred to as "scatterguns", "fowling pieces" or "two-shoot guns" historically, and were used as a replacement for the blunderbuss.
