over and under

Stacked barrel arrangement

An over and under is a firearm with two barrels stacked vertically rather than side by side.

The design is standard for shotguns used in sporting clays and hunting: He broke open the over and under to reload.

The term also describes a type of betting where you wager whether a total score will be higher or lower than a set number.
