shotgunner

Rides beside driver

A shotgunner is someone who uses a shotgun, whether in combat, hunting, or sport shooting.

In military and law enforcement contexts, the shotgunner is the team member designated to carry the shotgun, often for breaching doors or close-quarters combat.

In casual use, a shotgunner is the person riding in the front passenger seat of a vehicle—the one who called shotgun.
