Step 2Research and plans
So before I could start I had to get the buildplans for a shotgun. As with my previous luger ible, I decided to just take a sideview picture of the gun I wanted from the internet and then size it up untill it was at a realistic length. I'm actually not sure if this gun is 100% realistic as there was to many data on to many different guns so I decided to eyeball it.
In retrospect the gun fits well in my hand and is wieldable in combat. I do however find that the width of the gun is perhaps a bit to much but it's needed for the barrel to fit nicely.
If you think the gun is to long you can make this gun compacter by sawing off a piece of the front. It doesn't matter for the mechanics of the gun but can affect the realistic look of it. It's your choice.
Anyway for this instructable just download the template that I added as a word document and print it out. Printing in color or black and white doesn't matter.
Note: This template is for a grown man of 20 years old and 1m95 high. I suggest that if you make this for your kids you should adjust it in size. This will affect everything else (including the rest of the parts width) to so be aware of that. If you are not sure it will fit in your hand, just print and cut it out and put the paper in your hand. If you are able to hold it comfortably then it will be comfortably in wood. If not, resize.

Hi! I'm about to make this awesome gun myself, but the fact that you have uploaded the template in docx sadly makes it impossible. Please upload it in a format that everyone can easily use. Pdf for instance would be perfect!

I'll certainly change that. I'm a little busy right now but check in again some time tomorrow and it'll be changed :)
