A combination gun is a break-action hunting firearm that comprises at least two barrels, a rifle barrel and a shotgun barrel, often but not always in an over and under configuration; side-by-side variations are known as cape guns. A drilling refers to a combination gun that has three barrels. Very often, combination guns use flanged calibers, as rimless cartridges may be problematic to eject from a break-action weapon.
