: But spelling without slash would avoid a reading as both being alternatives, they are one: "over and under shotgun". See here: http://www.gunslot.com/forum/over-and-under-shotgun

Reference:
over-and-under shotgun vis-à-vis side-by-side shotgun
A benefit of this barrel configuration: "So bietet die Bockflinte zu den Seiten ein besseres Gesichtsfeld und durch die über, und nicht zwischen, den Läufen liegende Visierschiene einen besseren Schutz gegen Visierfehler durch Mirage."
