Double rifle

The double rifle, also known as a double-barreled rifle, is a rifle with two barrels mounted parallel to each other that can be fired simultaneously or sequentially in quick succession. Commonly used in big game hunting, primarily in Africa and Asia, the double rifle is a sporting weapon with very little military heritage.
