double-barreled
Side-by-side shotgun
Double-barreled describes something with two barrels, most often a shotgun with two parallel barrels that can fire in quick succession.
The term extends to anything that combines two elements for greater impact: a double-barreled question bundles two inquiries into one, while a double-barreled surname joins two family names with a hyphen.
A double-barreled attack hits from two angles at once.
