Reference: over-and-under shotgun vis-à-vis side-by-side shotgun

Reference information:
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."
