Question: 1 / 400

What type of firearm is most suitable for hunting small game?

Shotgun

A shotgun is the most suitable firearm for hunting small game because it disperses shot pellets over a wider area, increasing the chances of hitting a small target such as a bird or rabbit. Shotguns are also effective at shorter ranges, which is typically where small game is encountered. In comparison, rifles are more ideal for longer range shooting and may cause excessive damage to small game. Handguns are better suited for self-defense or target shooting rather than hunting small game. Crossbows, while used for hunting, are not as commonly used for hunting small game due to their limited range and reloading time.
