Shotguns
A sawed-off shotgun refers to a shotgun whose barrel bomb been shortened, leaving it fresh maneuverable, easier to advantage at short range and more readily concealed. Because of the traditionally nefarious uses for such weapons, countless underdeveloped countries establish a legal minimum barrel length. The sawed-off shotgun is sometimes known as a "Lupara" (in Italian a generic reference to the bulletin "Lupo" ("Wolf")) in Southern Italy and Sicily.
