A shotgun like that is useful for dove and a few other instances. I have a Yildiz O/U for sporting clays and a good old Remington 12 gauge pump as my turkey gun.

A gentlemans shotgun is an over/under. More than 2 shells should not be needed even for double targets if you are a decent shot. "Skybusting" nets nothing except profit for the ammo manufacturer.

Gentlemens shotgun is a side by side. Over/under is just another shotgun. I'd take a nice Parker over some Perazzi any day of the week.

A gentlemans shotgun is a blunderbuss.

Check and mate.

I'd be willing to bet that guy in the video is heavily sponsored and doesn't pay for his own ammo. I got hundreds of freebies and @ cost stuff from my paintball sponsors. One of my buddies is a pro kayak fisherman, and most of his stuff is free or @ cost. I think he just paid $100 for a $400 carbon fiber paddle. I picked up a pair of $200/ea bait casting rods & reels for $90 total from him :)

And I think you're right, the mental picture I have of an "english gentleman" out on a fox hunt or something is with an over/under. For some reason I've always considered side by side to be a more Western thing.
