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. :)

It's going to end up being double barrel, I think. Because the shooter needs to fire off two shots, then stop to reload and give the main character a chance to make a run for it. That works, right?

If he loads it with slug rounds, a double-barrel should work fine.
