How it's used
Refers specifically to firearms designed for hunting, often implying a long barrel and significant power. While it translates to shotgun or hunting rifle, the term is rarely used in urban Hong Kong daily life due to strict firearm regulations. It is mostly encountered in the context of wilderness survival stories, movies, or news reports about rural areas.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 散彈槍, which specifically refers to a shotgun that fires multiple pellets. 獵槍 is a broader term that can include rifles used for hunting, whereas 散彈槍 focuses on the mechanism and ammunition type.
