sawed-off shotgun

A regular double barrel shotgun, except someone took the time and effort to saw off a few centimeters from the barrel (and possibly the stock as well). this modified firearm is very useful for short-range crowd-control.

A sawed-off shotgun is easier to hide in a tuxedo than the original shotgun.

crowd control 

What riot police engage in when they deem a crowd to get too rowdy/angry/violent at a protest or demonstration. usually performed with the help of fire hoses, pepper spray, riot stick etc. sadly, real bullets have been known to perform quite well too (ex. tien-an-men square)

"Those protesters just threw a molotow at us. time to start some crowd control"
