Best Answer

The expression refers to a double-barreled shotgun. To "give (something) both barrels" is to make the maximum effort at the task. ie. use both shotgun barrels.

It is similar to the expressions, "give it your all," "go all-out," "one-hundred-and-ten percent," and to give something "...the whole nine yards."
