I know nothing about guns. Seriously, absolutely nothing. So someone help me out, and talk to me like an imbecile when you answer. How many shots can you take with a shotgun before you have to reload? And how do you shoot one, step by step, from loading it to pulling the trigger? Are there even any steps in between?

Sheesh. If this weren't the only time I plan to have anybody in this story fire a gun, I wouldn't even put it in. Not knowing about this stuff and trying to write it is too hard. *grumbles*

EDIT: Well, now I know who to go to for gun questions. Now all I have to do is find someone to go to for axe and tomahawk questions. :)

yeah, a slug would do it, buckshot might be heavy enough, but probably wouldn't be what a farmer not expecting trouble would have loaded by default.

Wow, my rural childhood is flooding back.

Well, actually, the farmer's expecting trouble and wants to kill the main character, while the main character is the one not expecting it.
