A coach gun is a double-barreled shotgun, generally with side-by-side barrels 18 to 24 inches long. It was called a "cut-down shotgun" and a "messenger's gun" from the use of such shotguns on stagecoaches by shotgun messengers in the American Wild West. The name "coach gun" was coined by modern term gun-collectors.
