Shotgun

A shotgun is a firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder, which uses the energy of 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 5.5 mm (.22 inch) bore up to 5 cm (2.0 in) bore, and in a range of firearm operating mechanisms, including breech loading, single-barreled, double or combination gun, pump-action, bolt-, and lever-action, revolver, semi-automatic, and even fully automatic variants.

• A hunting gun, like any firearm, is a dangerous thing, and you need to tread carefully around it.
  

But the most dangerous kind of shotgun is an unloaded one.
"It's okay, take it, take it. It's not loaded."
In fact, it is with an unloaded gun that hunters most often kill and injure themselves and their mates.
Keep that in your mind.

• Ukrainian: Мисливське ружжо, як і всяка вогнепальна зброя, — річ небезпечна, і біля неї треба ходити обережно.
  

Але найнебезпечніше ружжо — це ружжо незаряджене.

— Нічого, нічого, — беріть, беріть, — воно в мене незаряджене.

Так от з незарядженого ружжа найбільш вбивають чи ранять мисливці і себе, і своїх товаришів. Майте це на увазі.
