Shotgun

Shotgun is a submachine gun that shoots ammunition in which each pack contains many lead spheres, along with the gunpowder, unlike the ammunition of other rifles, where each pod is used to shoot a single bullet.

The shotgun is a rifle with a smooth-bore barrel.

In general, the term "shotgun" is used in Hebrew, even though this term is incorrect because there is no overlap between the groups (there are regular rifles with a grooved barrel and sniper rifles that are used for hunting, and on the other hand there are shotgun rifles used for police operations only) .

Unlike regular rifles, which are fired with a lead or metal bullet, the shotgun fires ammunition called a shell or slug, with dozens of small lead spheres (sort of spray bullets).

The pellets dissipate at the time of the shot, increasing the chance of hitting the target and causing serious damage. The disadvantage of using this ammunition is that it is only effective in the short term.

The firepower of the hunting rifle is usually high - it has a strong but low penetration force - and therefore is a useful weapon by police forces, the security services and elite counter-terrorism units.

As a result of the increase in cases of warfare in built-up areas, the use of hunting rifles has also increased in military units, although still to a relatively small extent.

The police and these units use it (with appropriate ammunition) to break doors and locks, and to dispose of bombs (with special ammunition that uses water to destroy the bomb).

American security forces, including the police and the FBI, also use this rifle.

In the United States, hunting rifles are commonly used by civilians, usually for hunting and self-defense purposes.

Most of the modern hunting rifle scales an inner cartridge that lies beneath the barrel and is called "ovary".
