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

  1. Shotgun

  2. Rifle

  3. Handgun

  4. Crossbow

The correct answer is: Shotgun

A shotgun is most suitable for hunting small game because it has a wider spread of pellets, making it easier to hit fast-moving targets at close range. Rifles may be more accurate, but their single bullet may cause excessive damage to the small game, ruining the meat. Handguns have limited range and accuracy, and may not be powerful enough to take down larger small game. Crossbows also have limited range and may not be as efficient as a shotgun in taking down small game.
