short barrel
Compact rolling container
Short barrel describes a firearm with a barrel length below legal minimums—typically under 16 inches for rifles or 18 inches for shotguns in U.S. federal law.
Such weapons are heavily regulated because shorter barrels make guns more concealable while retaining lethal power: He was charged with possession of a short barrel shotgun.
