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

  1. Shotgun

  2. Rifle

  3. Handgun

  4. Airgun

The correct answer is: Shotgun

Small game refers to animals such as birds, rabbits, and squirrels that are typically smaller in size and faster-moving. Shotguns are the most appropriate firearm for hunting these types of animals because they have a wide spread of shot that increases the chances of hitting the target, even if the aim is slightly off due to the movement of the animal. Rifles, handguns, and airguns may be better suited for larger game or more precise shooting, making them less suitable for hunting small game.
