===Shotguns===
* '''Winchester Model 1897''': John Browning's first attempt at a repeating shotgun after the lever-action 1887, this pump-action gun was adapted for battlefield conditions by the addition of a heat shroud and bayonet lug. It also could slam-fire, meaning it could fire rapidly so long as the user held down the trigger and quickly worked the action.
* '''Ithaca Model 37''': A clone of the earlier Remington Model 10, this shotgun was unique for having its loading port and ejection port in the same hole underneath. Very reliable action, and was used up through Vietnam.
* '''Browning Auto-5''': One of the earliest semi-auto shotguns, it was extremely popular internationally with many aftermarket conversions, such as the short-barreled "Whippit" version, or extended magazine riot conversions.
