Shotguns come in many sizes, typically measured by it's gauge, or bore diameter. The most common shotgun size is [[12 gauge]] and [[20 gauge]]. Prior to 1950, there were many types of shotgun sizes in addition to the 12 and 20 including 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, and 67.62 (This is the [[.410 gauge]] size, but measured the same one the others are, it would be 67.62).

"By the 1950's, according to Jack O'Connor in his The Shotgun Book, the 12 gauge had about 50% of the market. By the 1970's, again according to Jack O'Connor, the sales of 12 gauge guns and shells had declined somewhat to less than 50% of the market. The 20 gauge had taken over second place with about 20% of the market, and was still increasing its market share."<ref>Ibid.</ref>
