Long gun

Not to be confused with Long rifle.
Various long guns used by the United States military during World War II, including rifles, carbines, submachine guns, and shotguns. In contrast, partially visible to the left are various handguns.

A long gun is a category of firearms with long barrels. In small arms, a long gun or longarm is generally designed to be held by both hands and braced against the shoulder, in contrast to a handgun, which can be fired being held with a single hand. In the context of cannons and mounted firearms, an artillery long gun would be contrasted with a field gun or howitzer.[1][2]
