In 1776, the term shotgun was first used in Kentucky to differentiate between a ‘smoothbore shotgun’ and a rifled ‘musket’.
A smoothbore gun was used for firing small shot at short range and has evolved from its identity as a Blunderbuss in 1600s Germany, a Fowling Piece in 1700s Britain, a Scattergun, a Trench-gun with the exceptional firepower of a pump-action shotgun in WWI, and most recently and populalry, the Shotgun.
