context_page_description: Garden guns are smooth bore shotguns commonly used by gardeners and farmers for pest control. They are made to fire small gauges such as .410, 9mm Flobert or .22 rimfire shot shells. They are short range shotguns that can do little harm past 15 to 20 yards, and they are relatively quiet when fired with rimfires. These guns are especially effective inside of barns and sheds, as the low velocity small shot will not shoot holes in the roof or walls, or more importantly injure livestock with a ricochet. They are also used for pest control at airports, warehouses, stockyards, etc.
