If you had to own just ONE firearm, what would it be? Many people who know their firearms would likely say that it should be a shotgun. A shotgun is a firearm typically designed to be fired from the shoulder, which uses a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid projectile called a slug. Shotguns come in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from a .22 inch bore up to a 2.0 inch bore, also identified by “gauge”, such as 20 gauge, 12 gauge, 10 gauge and so forth. Shotguns utilize a range of firearm operating mechanisms, including breech loading, single or double-barreled, pump-action, bolt, lever-action, semi-automatic, and even fully automatic variants. Shot of various sizes is usually fired from a smoothbore barrel, and another configuration is the rifled slug barrel, which fires the more accurate, solid projectiles. Shotguns can also be accessorized to suit your particular needs, including mounting systems for optics, custom stocks and grips, lights, slings and various magazine options, to name a few…

Aside from being one of the most prolific weapons of the modern age, it is also one of the most versatile guns anyone could own. You can hunt just about anything with a shotgun, they can be used for home defense or in military theaters of operation, are often used in various sporting applications such as skeet or trap shooting, and are just plain fun to shoot at the range. Ammunition is often inexpensive and available, unlike other specialty calibers.
