double-barrel
Side-by-side firearm
Double-barrel describes something with two barrels, most commonly a shotgun with two parallel barrels that can fire in quick succession: He broke open the double-barrel and loaded two shells.
The term extends to anything that comes in pairs or delivers a double impact: a double-barrel question, a double-barrel insult.
A double-barrel name, chiefly British, combines two surnames with a hyphen.
