A double barrel pump shotgun is a pump-action shotgun with two barrels side by side, each fed by its own magazine tube. One gun carries two chambered shells plus two tubes of ammunition, so its capacity is far higher than a conventional pump. Iber’s IEU-DB series holds 10+2 to 16+2 rounds of 12 gauge.

Looking for a Classic Double Barrel Shotgun?
Most people who search “double barrel shotgun” mean a classic break-action double, which has two barrels side by side or stacked one over the other, fires two shots and is then opened to reload. The IEU-DB series on this page is a different concept, namely a pump-action tactical shotgun with two barrels and two magazine tubes.
If you want a traditional break action, see Iber’s over/under shotguns (12, 20, 28 gauge and .410) and single barrel shotguns. Iber does not currently catalog a side-by-side game gun.

Double Barrel Pump Shotgun FAQ
What is a double barrel pump shotgun?
It is a pump-action shotgun with two barrels side by side, each fed by its own magazine tube. Working the forend cycles the action, and the twin tubes give far more capacity than a conventional pump. Iber’s IEU-DB series is 12 gauge with a 76 mm (3″) chamber and capacities from 10+2 to 16+2.
Is a double barrel pump the same as a side-by-side double barrel shotgun?
No. A classic side-by-side is a break-action gun with two barrels and two shots; you open it to reload. A double barrel pump has two barrels plus two magazine tubes and reloads with a pump action, so it holds many more shells. For classic break actions, see Iber’s over/under and single barrel shotguns.
How many shells does a double barrel pump shotgun hold?
The IEU-DB series is offered as 10+2, 12+2, 14+2 and 16+2. The first number is the combined capacity of both magazine tubes and the second is the two shells in the chambers, so a 16+2 gun holds 18 rounds fully loaded. Many countries restrict capacity, so the configuration must match the buyer’s license.
What is the difference between a dual tube shotgun and a double barrel pump?
A dual tube shotgun normally has one barrel and two magazine tubes, with a selector that chooses which tube feeds the chamber; many are bullpups. A double barrel pump has two tubes and two barrels. Both offer high capacity, but the double barrel design is wider and heavier.
How does a double barrel pump action shotgun fire?
Like any pump, it is cycled by working the forend, so it does not depend on gas or recoil. How the two barrels are selected and fired, and how the safety and loading procedure work, differ between designs. Iber supplies a technical sheet and manual for each IEU-DB configuration; train users on that document.
Which barrel lengths are available, and are they legal in the US?
The IEU-DB is offered with 36 cm (14.2″), 43 cm (16.9″), 51 cm (20″) and 58 cm (22.8″) barrels. In the US, barrels under 18″ make an NFA short-barreled shotgun, so the two shorter lengths are for lawful buyers only. Imports also face the sporting-purposes test. This is general information; verify with ATF.
Are double barrel pump shotguns legal in Australia?
Pump-action shotguns are Category C with a magazine capacity of five or fewer and Category D above five. Every IEU-DB capacity exceeds five rounds, so these guns fall into Category D, which is very tightly restricted. Confirm with your state or territory firearms registry; this is general information, not legal advice.
Are double barrel pump shotguns legal in Canada and the UK?
In Canada the five-shell cap applies to semi-automatic centerfire long guns, not pumps, but each model needs an RCMP classification, so check the Firearms Reference Table. In Great Britain, pump-action smooth-bore guns with barrels under 24″ are prohibited, and all IEU-DB barrels are shorter, so they are for authorized users only.
What are the downsides of a double barrel pump shotgun?
Weight and balance are the main ones, since two barrels and two full tubes make the gun heavy and front-heavy. It is wider than a standard pump, slower to reload fully and more complex to learn. High capacity also puts it in restricted categories in many countries.
Can you supply custom finishes or private-label double barrel pumps?
Yes. Finish, stock type, barrel length and magazine capacity can be configured for your market, and we offer private-label builds with your logo. The catalog already shows black, gray, flat dark earth, OD green, blue, distressed and camouflage finishes, and other colors can be discussed.
Do you supply police, military and government buyers?
Yes. Iber Arms supplies government and law-enforcement buyers, as well as importers, distributors and licensed dealers. Short-barrel configurations are produced only for buyers who can lawfully acquire them, with the end-user documents their country requires. We do not sell to private individuals.
Can we get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Samples are available for evaluation, subject to the import and export permits required for your country, and we accept orders of any quantity. Contact the export team with your destination, configuration and end-user details to start the process and receive the technical sheet.
Double Barrel Pump Shotgun Guide Covering Concept, Capacity, Models and Laws
Double barrel pump shotguns at a glance
- What it is a 12 gauge pump action with two barrels side by side and two magazine tubes.
- Capacity 10+2 to 16+2 on the IEU-DB series, which is the combined capacity of both tubes plus two chambered shells.
- Why buyers want it very high capacity from a manually operated gun, without detachable magazines.
- Main trade-offs weight, width, a front-heavy feel when loaded, and tight legal limits in many countries.
- Barrels 36 cm (14.2″), 43 cm (16.9″), 51 cm (20″), 58 cm (22.8″); the two shorter lengths are for authorized users only in many markets.
- Not a side-by-side for classic break-action guns see Iber’s over/under and single barrel lines.
What is a double barrel pump action shotgun?
It combines two ideas, the high capacity of twin magazine tubes and the redundancy of two barrels, in a manually operated pump action. Two barrels sit side by side above two magazine tubes, all attached to one receiver, one trigger group and one stock. Working the forend cycles the action, so the gun does not depend on gas pressure or recoil to reload and will cycle any load that fits its 76 mm (3″) chambers.
Capacity is written as two numbers. On a “14+2” gun, 14 is the combined capacity of both magazine tubes and 2 is the shells in the two chambers, so the gun holds 16 rounds when fully loaded. The IEU-DB series is offered as 10+2, 12+2, 14+2 and 16+2.
How the two barrels are selected and fired, how one stroke of the pump cycles the chambers, and how the safety and loading procedure work are specific to each design. Request the IEU-DB technical sheet and manual before ordering or training users; do not assume the procedure of another manufacturer’s double-barrel pump applies.
Double barrel pump vs dual-tube and conventional pump shotguns
“Dual tube shotgun” usually describes a single-barrel pump with two magazine tubes and a selector that chooses which tube feeds the chamber, often in a bullpup layout. A double barrel pump also has two tubes, but it adds a second barrel. Here is how the three designs compare.
| Feature | Conventional pump | Dual-tube single-barrel pump | Double barrel pump (IEU-DB) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrels | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Magazine tubes | 1 | 2, with a feed selector | 2 |
| Typical capacity | 4+1 to 8+1 | Two tubes, often bullpup length | 10+2 to 16+2 |
| Layout | Conventional stock | Often bullpup | Conventional stock or pistol grip with rails |
| Weight and width | Lightest and slimmest | Medium | Heaviest and widest, especially when loaded |
| Complexity and training | Simplest | Moderate (selector) | Highest; model-specific manual essential |
| Legal exposure | Lowest at low capacity | High capacity raises category | High capacity and short barrels raise category |
| Iber range | Pump-action shotguns | Not in the current catalog | IEU-DB series |
For a tube-fed semi-auto alternative, see our horizontal magazine shotguns; for detachable box magazines, the magazine-fed range.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages
- Very high capacity from a manual action, with no detachable magazine to lose or damage.
- Two barrels and two chambers in one gun.
- A pump cycles any load that fits the chamber, from light target shells to heavy loads.
- Top rail for optics and lights, with flip-up sights as standard on the pictured models.
- A distinctive product for tactical and collector segments.
Disadvantages
- Heavy and front-heavy when both tubes are full.
- Wider than a single-barrel pump, which affects cases, mounts and handling.
- Reloading two tubes takes time.
- More complex than a standard pump; users need model-specific training.
- Capacity and short barrels put it in restricted or prohibited categories in many countries.
Barrel lengths and legal thresholds
Barrel length decides handling and, in many countries, legal status. Measure from the breech face to the muzzle and confirm overall length, which is regulated separately in several jurisdictions.
| Barrel | Inches | US status (general) | Typical buyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 cm | 14.2″ | Below 18″ makes it an NFA short-barreled shotgun | Military, law enforcement and others who can lawfully acquire it |
| 43 cm | 16.9″ | Below 18″ makes it an NFA short-barreled shotgun | Military, law enforcement and others who can lawfully acquire it |
| 51 cm | 20″ | Above 18″ (overall length must also be 26″ or more) | Civilian markets where the design is lawful |
| 58 cm | 22.8″ | Above 18″ (overall length must also be 26″ or more) | Civilian markets where the design is lawful |
Barrels must never be shortened outside the factory. Short configurations are produced only for buyers with the correct licenses and permits. See our short barrel shotguns page for more on short-barrel rules.

Who buys double barrel pump shotguns?
- Law enforcement and security units evaluating a manually operated, high-capacity 12 gauge, often in the shorter barrel lengths.
- Military and government procurement through authorized importers and tender processes.
- Civilian markets where the design is lawful enthusiasts, collectors and range users, usually in the 51 cm (20″) or 58 cm (22.8″) configurations.
- Distributors and dealers who want a distinctive product in the tactical segment alongside our tactical shotguns.
Handling, care and training
- Train on the exact model using its manual, especially the loading, unloading and safety procedure for two chambers and two tubes.
- When clearing the gun, check both chambers and both magazine tubes visually and by feel.
- Clean both bores after use and keep the action bars and pump slide lightly lubricated.
- Check the magazine tube caps, rails and accessory screws regularly; a loaded double gun puts more load on mounts.
- Unload magazine tubes for storage and keep the gun locked as local law requires.
Double barrel pump shotguns and the law (general information)
High capacity and short barrels move these guns into restricted or prohibited categories in many countries. The table is general information as of October 2026, not legal advice; verify with the competent authority before importing, selling or buying.
| Country | General position | Points to check |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Barrels under 18″ or overall length under 26″ make an NFA short-barreled shotgun; the 36 cm and 43 cm configurations fall under the NFA. | Imports need a licensed importer and ATF Form 6 permit and must pass the “sporting purposes” test; features such as capacity above five rounds, pistol grips, adjustable stocks and forward grips weigh against civilian importability. State laws add limits. |
| Canada | The five-shell limit applies to semi-automatic centerfire long guns, not to pump actions, but every model needs an RCMP classification. | Check the Firearms Reference Table and barrel and overall-length rules before import; novel designs may need classification first. |
| Australia | Pump-action shotguns are Category C (magazine capacity of five or fewer) or Category D (more than five). All IEU-DB capacities exceed five, so they fall in Category D. | Category D is very tightly restricted; confirm with the state or territory firearms registry. |
| United Kingdom (Great Britain) | Any shotgun with a magazine holding more than two cartridges needs a Section 1 certificate, and pump-action smooth-bore guns with barrels under 24″ or under 40″ overall are prohibited under Section 5. | All IEU-DB barrel lengths are under 24″, so in Great Britain these guns are for authorized users only. |
| South Africa | Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000; the self-defense license (s13) excludes semi-automatic shotguns but not pump actions. | Check with the Central Firearms Register; imports need a SAPS import permit. |
