- 1.
shotgun, gun, rifle (common in use but not quite correct, see info tag)
A 'ружьё' = shotgun has a straight barrel. Only for a short firing distance, since in contrast to a rifle, the projectile fired does not have any twist for flight stabilization.
Examples
Сего́дня он застрели́л семь су́сликов из своего́ но́вого пневмати́ческого ружья.
He shot seven gophers today with his new BB gun.
