That is called Drilling rifle. It is a double barrel shotgun with a rifle barrel under the shotgun. Technically not an over under. That one might be the M30 issued to German fighter pilots but I can not tell form the picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M30_Luftwaffe_Drilling Now that I have downloaded the picture and blew it up I can see it not the M30. I have several Drillings in my collection but they are all hammer guns.

What was it used to drill for?

German for triple.

I was just making a joke, and ended up learning something. Not just a word, but a whole new way of making words! Thanks!

I am a huge drilling fanboy. Just nerdding out
