Look at this tool. It is called a double-barreled shotgun. A shotgun is a kind of gun. But this one is special because it has two barrels instead of one.

Look at the front of the gun. Do you see the two long metal tubes? Those are called barrels. Most guns have only one barrel. But this shotgun has two barrels — That is why it is called "double-barreled."

The two barrels look like two straws standing side by side. When you point the gun, you aim both barrels at the same time.

A shotgun does not shoot one single bullet like you see in some movies. It shoots many tiny little pellets all at once. When the gun goes off, the pellets spread out like a handful of pebbles thrown into the air.

This makes it easier to hit a moving target. Hunters use shotguns to hunt birds because birds fly fast and are hard to hit with just one bullet.

A real shotgun is very dangerous if used the wrong way. Only grown-ups who are trained to use guns should ever touch one. Guns are tools for hunting or protecting people, not for playing. Now let’s follow the instructions to learn how to draw this shotgun.
