  • The 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is a shotgun.
  • A Double-Barreled Shotgun is a shotgun with two parallel barrels, allowing two shots to be fired in quick succession. Double-barreled shotguns, often known as doubles, are almost universally break open actions, with the barrels tilting up at the rear to expose the breech ends of the barrels for unloading and reloading. Since there is no reciprocating action needed to eject and reload the shells, doubles are more compact than repeating designs such as pump action or Lever-action shotguns.
  • Sawing off a shotgun is a felony under the U.S. National Firearms Act because the weapon is made extremely dangerous, inaccurate and concealable as a result of sawing down the barrels, which gives the gun greater range rather than accuracy. The double-barreled sawn-off shotgun is a favorite among gangs and the mafia, and it was infamously used in the Columbine High School Massacre.

  • Sawing off a shotgun is a felony under the U.S. National Firearms Act because the weapon is made extremely dangerous, inaccurate and concealable as a result of sawing down the barrels, which gives the gun greater range rather than accuracy. The double-barreled sawn-off shotgun is a favorite among gangs and the mafia, and it was infamously used in the Columbine High School Massacre. The shotgun seen in the film is a 12 gauge shotgun that was also used in the 2004 Denzel Washington revenge film, Man on Fire. The same armorers for Man on Fire also did A Good Day to Die Hard, so the weapon seen in the film is the same one in Man on Fire. The weapon's appearance in Man on Fire made sense because it took place in Mexico City, however, a Spanish shotgun would really have no place in Russia.

  • A Double-Barreled Shotgun is a shotgun with two parallel barrels, allowing two shots to be fired in quick succession. Double-barreled shotguns, often known as doubles, are almost universally break open actions, with the barrels tilting up at the rear to expose the breech ends of the barrels for unloading and reloading. Since there is no reciprocating action needed to eject and reload the shells, doubles are more compact than repeating designs such as pump action or Lever-action shotguns. The early doubles used two triggers, one for each barrel. These were located front to back inside the trigger guard, the index finger being used to pull either trigger, as having two fingers inside the trigger guard can cause a recoil induced double-discharge. Double trigger designs are typically set up for right-handed users. 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. Discharging both barrels at the same time has long been a hunting trick employed by hunters using 8 gauge "elephant" shotguns, firing the two two-ounce slugs for sheer stopping power at close range.
