shotgun's
Hunting weapon's possessive
Shotgun's is the possessive form of shotgun, a long-barreled firearm that fires a spread of pellets.
The possessive indicates something belonging to or associated with a shotgun: the shotgun's recoil, the shotgun's range.
It also works for figurative uses: the shotgun's seat in a vehicle, a shotgun wedding's hasty arrangements.
