The term "'''Garden Gun'''" typically applies to small bore, low-powered shotguns meant for close-range pest control such as snakes, rodents and so on. Their purpose is to be able to utilize a firearm for easily dispatching pests, but that has very little potential for property damage past 15 or 20 yards. Historically, these shotguns have been chambered in rounds such as the [[9mm Flobert]], especially in Europe. In America, most have been chambered in [[.22 Long Rifle]] with some exceptions.

== List of Garden Guns ==

While not an exhaustive list, some better-known garden guns include:

* [[Marlin Model 25MG]]: .22 Magnum with smooth-bore barrel for shotshells.

* [[Henry Garden Gun]]: Lever-action, chambered in [[.22 Long Rifle]]. Smooth bore.

	Some consider larger cartridges such as the [[.410 Bore]] to still be within the garden gun category, but this is really up to the interpretation of the individual. For example, if a garden gun is only meant to be a gun that can cause any real damage at 20 yards or less, then a .410 shotgun would certainly ''not'' fit that description. But if a garden gun is interpreted as something suitable for larger pests like rabbits, then a .410 shotgun would fit the bill. This may also apply to other low powered cartridges such as .22 CB caps and so on, which are also often considered "garden gun" type calibers.

−	It should also be noted that shotshells are available in a number of other calibers from CCI for example, such as [[.38 Special]], [[9x19mm Parabellum]], [[.45 ACP]] and others. However, they are not as effective in these guns because they are almost always rifled and cause the shot pattern to become very wide at only a few feet. Still, this kind of setup could possible serve the same purpose as a traditional garden gun, but at much closer range.	+	It should also be noted that shotshells are available in a number of other calibers from [[CCI]] for example, such as [[.38 Special]], [[9x19mm Parabellum]], [[.45 ACP]] and others.
