Layouts Combination guns File:Gebruder Merkel Drilling 1609.jpg Four-barrel versions known as Vierlings generally have two triggers, and selectors to switch each between shotgun and rifle. Drillings with two shotgun barrels and one rifle barrel may have two triggers, one for each shotgun barrel, and a selector that will allow one trigger to fire the rifle barrel. Unlike double-barrelled shotguns and double rifles, where single selective or double triggers are used to allow rapid firing of both barrels, combination guns generally have a selector that allows the user to choose which barrel will fire. Modern combination guns tend to resemble double-barreled shotguns and double rifles, and are almost universally break open designs.
