What's the most versatile gun?

The most versatile gun is widely considered to be the 12-gauge shotgun, especially pump-action models like the Remington 870 or Mossberg 500, due to its ability to fire various shells (birdshot, buckshot, slugs) for hunting small game, large game, home defense, and sport shooting, often with interchangeable barrels for even greater adaptability. Other contenders for versatility include the AR-15 platform (for modularity) and certain revolvers (for caliber options).
