Combined weapons refer to long guns that have both a shotgun barrel and a rifle barrel or have multiple rifle barrels in different calibers. This type of weapon, which is almost exclusively used for hunting, usually features a break-action system. Other forms of single-shot rifles are rarely found.
The different forms of combined weapons vary based on the composition of the various barrels and their arrangement.
Especially for driven hunts, where big game and small game are hunted and shooting must occur at both long and short distances, combined weapons are very interesting. Some forms of them also represent a significant hunting tradition.
In areas where there is an intention to hunt both small and big game, it can be worthwhile to carry a combined weapon. This way, one has the opportunity to hunt different species with different types of ammunition using just one weapon.
The costs for combined weapons vary greatly and depend mainly on the type of weapon. On one hand, there are always affordable used combination guns available on the market, while on the other hand, one can spend several tens of thousands of euros for a well-preserved fine drilling.
Anyone who has a valid acquisition permit (hunting license for hunters, firearms ownership card for sport shooters) can acquire a combination gun.
