Shotgun
The most common long-arm on the Victorian goldfield in 1854 was the muzzle-loading shotgun. It was often called a 'gun' or fowling piece. The shotgun was either single-barrelled or double-barrelled. The most common ammunition for the shotgun was loose buckshot.[1]
Michael Tuohy carried a double-barrelled shotgun in his possession as he attempted to flee from the Eureka Stockade.[2]
