The muzzleloading blunderbuss, the direct ancestor of the shotgun, was also used in similar roles from self-defense to riot control. Preceding smoothbore firearms (such as the musket) were widely used by armies in the 18th century. Although revolving shotguns did exist, most modern repeating shotguns are either pump-action or semi-automatic, and also fully automatic, lever-action or bolt-action to a lesser extent. For non-repeating designs, over-and-under break action shotguns are by far the most common variant. Like rifles, shotguns also come in a range of different action types, both single-shot and repeating. Almost all are breechloading, and can be single-barreled, double-barreled or in the form of combination guns. Shotguns come in a wide variety of calibers and gauges ranging from 5.5 mm (.22 inch) to up to 5 cm (2.0 in), though the 12-gauge (18.53 mm or 0.729 in) and 20-gauge (15.63 mm or 0.615 in) bores are by far the most common. Shotguns are most commonly smoothbore firearms, meaning that their gun barrels have no rifling on the inner wall, but rifled barrels for shooting slugs ( slug barrels) are also available.
