In Australian and British slang, a shotgun — the firearm. Also used in drug culture for a type of bong where smoke is forced through a small hole to produce a quick, concentrated hit. The two senses are unrelated in practice; context makes the meaning clear. The firearm sense is broader; the drug-use sense circulates mainly in cannabis subcultures.

He kept the old shottie under the seat of the ute for getting rid of snakes on the property.
Origin: From 'shotgun' with the diminutive/clipping suffix '-ie'; the drug-use sense arises from a different 'shot' mechanism. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
