A combination rifle shotgun sounds like something that would be useful for shooting drones in Ukraine.
Makes me think of that picture of the navy admiral where he had a scope on backwards. Ike looks like he’s held a gun before.
What does the over under refer to in the design?
Two barrels, but instead of side-by-side, it's one barrel on top of the other.
Explanation: when aiming down iron sights, side by side means compensating a little left or right, based on which barrel is shooting. Over-under means aiming once and having 2 shots ready to hit the same location.
Holding an over-under is also easier as it is a single barrel width (perfect handsome) vs the broader handle of the side by side. This makes wielding and aiming the two guns fairly different.
Over-unders are considered preferable for these reasons.
