: Here're two more:
: 1) I finally just made the paper provocative and *shotgunned it* in all directions

A shotgun cartridge contains lead shot, or pellets. When the gun is fired, the lead shot spread out and pepper a large area. It is much easier to hit a target, often a wildfowl, with a shot gun than a rifle.
