Shotgun

A shotgun, also called a "scattergun", is a firearm designed to shoot a multitude of projectiles. This makes it very effective at hunting game, greatly increasing the weapon's accuracy.

However, the accuracy and power at close range diminish rapidly as you get farther away from the target.

Shotguns designed for military use are often titled "combat shotguns" and are covered in a separate article.
