Note: Short-barrelled shotguns with a wide bore expanding gradually throughout its length, typically terminating in a flared or thickened muzzle, and often carrying a spring-activated bayonet that folded back along the barrel when not in use. They were designed to fire a quantity of shot at once against a mass of opponents, and were popular weapons for defending stage coaches, ships, and prisons from the 17th to the 19th century.

| Spanish ..... Escopetas de cañón corto con un gran calibre que se ensancha gradualmente a todo su largo, terminando comúnmente en una boca acampanada o ancha, y a menudo provistas de una bayoneta que se plegaba hacia atrás a lo largo del cañón mediante un mecanismo de resorte cuando no estaba en uso. Fueron diseñadas para disparar una cantidad de proyectiles de una vez contra un grupo de adversarios, y fueron populares como armas de defensa en ataques a diligencias, barcos y prisiones, desde el siglo XVII al siglo XIX. |
