| | Shotgun debugging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shotgun debugging is a process of making relatively undirected changes to software in the hope that a bug will be perturbed out of existence. | | | This almost never works except in very simple programs, or when used as an attempt to work around programming language features that one may be using improperly; it usually introduces more bugs. |

| | shotgun |
| | Since shotgun shells are much larger than bullets, it took longer for automatic or semi-automatic loading systems to be developed for them. | | | Several fully automatic actions have been developed since the 1960s, including the SPAS and NeoStead 2000. | | | This definition, however, does not exactly match the technical use of the term, which would include the growing number of shotguns specifically designed to fire single projectiles instead of shot. |

| | Sawn-off shotgun |
| | These are generally referred to as "entry shotguns", as they are generally used for entering buildings. | | | For example, in most Australian states, a shotgun less than a certain length is legally classed as a pistol, and requires a pistol license (which is much more difficult to obtain than a basic shotgun license), plus a registration (which is unlikely to be granted). | | | This process is most dramatically applied to double-barrelled shotgunss or single shot shotguns, as most other types have a tube magazine attached to the underside of the barrel which limit the minimum barrel length to the length of the magazine tube (although this as well can be shortened, with a corresponding loss in magazine capacity). |
