What is the difference between a trap shotgun and a skeet shotgun?

Trap and skeet shooting are the same thing, so shotguns made for them are the same as well.*Not correct...Trap shooting and skeet shooting are two completely different sports..As are the shotguns used for skeet or trap..Trap shooting is shot with a 12 gauge, single-barreled shotgun (such as the Browning BT-99, BT-99 Micro, Perazzi MX-series, Krieghoff K-80, [Kolar] T/A) or a double barreled shotgun such as the Beretta DT10, Browning XT Trap.Trap shooting is a long range game. Standard 16 yard rise, targets are typically broken at about 31-36 yards and handicap targets may be broken as far as 45-50 yards from the shooter. The longer 30-34 inch barrel allows more precise pointing due to its longer sighting plane and develops greater momentum for a smoother swing.*Skeet shooting is different from trap shooting in that the targets are going across rather than out bound,Skeet targets require very fast shots at short range with open choked guns with 26-28 inch barrels.The Firearm of choice is usually a high-quality,Double-barreled over and under shotgun with 26 or 28 inch barrel and very open chokes*Trap guns differ from skeet guns in several ways and shoot higher than their counterparts as the targets in trap shooting are shot on the rise. The most obvious difference is in the stocks. They are normally Monte Carlo or have an adjustable comb, an adjustable butt plate, or both. Such guns also have long barrels (30-34 inches), often with porting, and anything from a modified to a full choke.

Trap shooting has been around since the late 18th century when real birds were used, usually pigeons, as practice for bird hunters.
