Online, August 18, 2013 (Newswire.com) - It is generally defined by law as a smooth bored gun mean not being an air gun which has a barrel, size of it should be 24inches long & also It have not any barrel with a bore which is not exceeding 2 inches in diameter. It has a non-detachable magazine which is incapable of holding more than two cartridges. We can say that it is not a revolver gun. In most cases shotguns will fall into one three broad categories.
These are described as a following:
1. A single barreled shotgun - In this category it has one barrel, no magazine, & it is also capable of holding only one cartridge at a time. It is capable of firing a single shot without being reloaded it.
2. A double barreled shotgun - It has two barrels, which are placed either horizontally means 'side by side or one above the other means over and under.
3. A semi-automatic shotgun - These kinds of shotguns have only one barrel, with magazine, it is capable of holding two extra cartridges in addition to one in chamber.
When you fire the first shot, the spent cartridge is ejected by one of the several methods and remaining one cartridge in the magazine is automatically fed into the chamber which is ready to be fired when the trigger is next pulled.
Size/Calibre: The term we used this to describe the barrel diameter of all types of shotguns is 'bore'. The 'bore' size of gun is generally based on old tradition that the diameter of the bore would be fit in a solid lead ball, which was a standard fraction of one pound of lead. Although it is an old-fashioned, but these standards are still in common usage today. There are mostly two common exceptions such as a '410', where the barrel diameter is about .410 of an inch, and it is not less than 9mm, which is self-explanatory
Other variations: In the traditional shotguns, there are two main two classes one is name as "Ejectors" in this mechanism spent cartridge automatically opened to reload, & another is "non-ejectors", which only pull the spent cartridge to allow the shooter to pull them out manually. In these type of shotguns several different type of shot guns take palce the most commonly known as 'Boxlock' & 'Side lock'.
