The name "sniper scope" is a misnomer when applied to a shotgun. A shotgun is not a sniper weapon and "sniper scopes" are only availible for rifles.
I beg to differ. "Snipe : to shoot at individuals as opportunity offers from a concealed or distant position: The enemy was sniping from the roofs." You can snipe with a shotgun, especially if using slugs. However, if you're using regular shot shells, and using a full choke, you can still hit out to 100 yards. So as long as you're concealed, you can still snipe with a shotgun. Sniper scope isn't even a real term, a scope is just a scope. If you snipe with a weapon that has a scope, that doesn't make it a sniper-scope. Hell, you can snipe with any weapon, handguns included. As long as it's from a concealed position, it's sniping.
