Hey there! I’ve recently decided to take up modeling to add to my list of abilities, so I went ahead and decided to make a shotgun! Tell me your thoughts! 
(It’s not textured, I just used lighting effects in 3D Viewer to make it look cool)

Looks good for a start, maybe bevel the edges, it is very rigid.

I think you did a great job in making the form. I think as long as it looks like a shotgun, that is all that matters. To go over technical aspects:
- The barrel is too high compared to the receiver, you should really lower it.
- For the next time you model, try making a barrel in the shape of a cylinder.
- For the forend of a pump-action shotgun, there is actually another barrel that houses the shells, you should add a barrel beneath the main one for that.
- You should try adding an ejection port for next time.
- You should try adding a magazine loading port for next time.
- Trigger guard at the bottom doesn’t have a smooth consistent thickness and there is no actual trigger.
- Work on really smoothing out those rough edges and your models will look very high quality.
In my opinion, you certainly did better than I did when I first started, so keep it up and you will eventually reach the skies!
