I think it would be ok i.e. "hunting shotgut" and "hunting rifle"

that's why I'm asking, Alexander :-). I have never had any real rifle or shotgun in my hands (except toys). It is not that important, though. It's just that some businessman has a permit for these two. I decided for "shotgun" as śrutowa and "rifle" as kulowa, as rifle seems to me to be more of "myśliwska broń" than just a gun which may be anything. Hope I'm right :-)

please note that if you have "broń śrutowa" it does not mean that you cannot use it for firing bullets - YOU CAN; it only depends on the cartridge you use

Alexander Onishko Feb 24, 2006:

however, such division śrutowa/kulowa is not accurate. Hunting guns are classified as "rifled" and "smooth-bore" wherein COLLOQUALLY "rifled gun" is sometimes referred to as "gun i.e gun for firing bullets" ("broń kulowa") and "smooth-bore gun" is refe

Dear Ironsz ! "Shotgun" to będzie "broń śrutowa" a prosto "gun" to będzie "broń kulowa"

as opposed to broń myśliwska kulowa PLS
