Cosmi Americo & Figlio is an Italian shotgun manufacturer located in Ancona, Italy. The company manufactures semi-automatic shotguns under the name Cosmi. Only approximately 7,500 guns have been manufactured since 1930, and individual guns are unique enough that parts are often not interchangeable. [2] Each part is individually serial numbered. The shotgun is available in three calibers: 12, 16 and 20.

A shotgun is a long-barreled firearm designed to shoot a straight-walled cartridge known as a shotshell, which usually discharges numerous small pellet-like spherical sub-projectiles called shot, or sometimes a single solid projectile called a slug.
