Despite some claims that shotgun sequencing was in some ways less accurate than the clone-by-clone method chosen by the Human Genome Project, the technique became widely accepted by the scientific community and is still the de facto standard used today.

A double-barreled shotgun is a shotgun with two parallel barrels, allowing two shots to be fired in quick succession.

In double trigger designs, it is often possible to pull both triggers at once, firing both barrels simultaneously, though this is generally not recommended as it doubles the recoil, battering both shooter and shotgun.

Generally there is a method of selecting the order in which the barrels of an SST shotgun fire ; commonly this is done through manipulation of the safety, pushing to one side to select top barrel first and the other side to select bottom barrel first.

The double-barreled shotgun is seen as a weapon of prestige and authority in rural parts of North India where it is known as ' a dunali ', literally meaning " two pipes ".

However, in professional football it is common for a center to be able to practice a single " shotgun " formation thrown snap enough to keep his head up and toss it blindly.

Although the modern term " gun " is often used as a synonym for firearm, in specialist or military use it has a restricted sense referring only to an artillery piece with a relatively high muzzle velocity, such as a field gun, a tank gun, or a gun used in the delivery of naval gunfire ; or in sporting use for a shotgun.

The classic single-barreled shotgun is a good example.

A shotgun usually retains its ancestor's smooth bore, and while originally designed to fire a packet of relatively small shot pellets, is also capable of firing larger slugs, or specialty ( often " less lethal ") rounds such as bean bags, tear gas or breaching rounds.

Handloading or reloading is the process of loading firearm cartridges or shotgun shells by assembling the individual components ( case / hull, primer, powder, and bullet / shot ), rather than purchasing completely assembled, factory-loaded cartridges.

Where shotshell reloading remains popular, however, is for making specialized shotgun shells, such as for providing lowered recoil, when making low cost " poppers " used for training retrievers before hunting season to acclimate hunting dogs to the sound of a gun firing without actually shooting projectiles, for achieving better shot patterning, or for providing other improvements or features not available in commercially-loaded shotshells at any price, such as when handloading obsolete shotshells with brass cases for gauges of shotshells that are no longer commercially manufactured.

Rifles or even a shotgun would be sufficient to persuade the crew to close all the hatches, and then the view from the tank is very limited ; a turret-mounted machine gun has a very slow traverse and cannot hope to fend off attackers coming from all directions.

The Pancor Jackhammer is a combat shotgun based on a similar mechanism to an automatic revolver.

A shotgun ( also known as a scattergun and peppergun, or historically as a fowling piece ) 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.

A shotgun is generally a smoothbore firearm, which means that the inside of the barrel is not rifled.

The so-called shotgun sequencing technique ( which was used, for example, by The Institute for Genomic Research to sequence the first bacterial genome, Haemophilus influenzae ) does not produce entire chromosomes.

The expression " riding shotgun " was apparently not used in the days of actual stagecoach travel.

The direct ancestor to the shotgun, the blunderbuss, was also used in a similar variety of roles from self defence to riot control.

Aside from the most common use against small, fast moving targets, the shotgun has several advantages when used against still targets.

Single shotguns are not widely used in shotgun sports, as most events require the ability to quickly fire two successive shots, which would require reloading a single-shot design while a target is in the air.

In genetics, shotgun sequencing, also known as shotgun cloning, is a method used for sequencing long DNA strands.

Two principal methods are used for this: chromosome walking, which progresses through the entire strand, piece by piece, and shotgun sequencing, which is a faster but more complex process, and uses random fragments.

Davis had purchased the firearms used in the attack, including the shotgun used to kill Haley, which had been purchased two days prior and sawed off.

* January 11, 1955: Swarthmore, Pennsylvania After some of his dorm mates urinated on his mattress Bob Bechtel, a 20-year-old student at Swarthmore College, returned to his dorm with a shotgun and used it to shoot and kill fellow student Holmes Strozier.

Formations similar or identical to the shotgun used decades previously would be called names such as " spread double wing ".

The shotgun was used by the New York Jets as they employed the formation during the latter part of the Joe Namath era, as documented in the 1971 Sporting News article " Joe and the Booyah Tribe ", to give the bad-kneed, and often immobile quarterback more time to set up plays by placing him deeper in the backfield.

Starting with the 1975 season, the Dallas Cowboys used the shotgun frequently with Roger Staubach at quarterback.

In recent years, fewer and fewer teams used the shotgun since the two-deep ( or Tampa 2 ) zones allow effective defense against offenses that don't or can't run the ball.

Most NFL teams only used the shotgun on obvious passing downs or when they are behind and need to pass almost every down to catch up.

Many college quarterbacks, such as Tim Tebow who almost exclusively used the shotgun at Florida, have difficulty adapting to NFL offenses where most snaps are taken under center.

However, with the spread offense spreading to the NFL, the shotgun is used more since the spread allows for more effective running.

A special armed employee of the express service using the stage for transportation of bullion or cash would sit beside the driver, carrying a short shotgun ( or alternatively a rifle ), to provide an armed response in case of threat to the cargo, which was usually a strongbox.

One can for instance acquire a shotgun license through a skeet shooting club but may only use it for clay pigeon shooting until an actual hunting examination has been passed.

While planning for the massacre, Harris said that the killing would be " like fucking Doom " and that his shotgun was " straight out of the game ".

The actual length of the barrels of a long gun are subject various laws in many jurisdictions, for example by the National Firearms Act in the United States, which sets a minimum length of 16 inches ( 40 cm ) for rifle barrels and 18 inches ( 45 cm ) for shotgun barrels.

Ammunition for shotguns is referred to in the USA as shotgun shells, shotshells, or just shells ( when it is not likely to be confused with artillery shells ).

Though many believe the shotgun is a great firearm for inexperienced shooters, the truth is, at close range, the spread of shot is not very large at all, and competency in aiming is still required.

Placing multiple balls in the pouch produces a shotgun effect, such as firing a dozen BBs at a time for hunting small birds.
