As a collective effort on the Verney-Carron Heliduplex line, myself, Wildcattle, L.Brown and Ellenbr have come up with a list of French gun terms and their translation. (thanks to WC for doing a lot of the heavy lifting). I'm copying the list below for reference to assure it doesn't get lost.

================================== English - French ===================================
Here is the first cut of English to French double-gun terms. it's easier to go from an acquired language to a native language (in this case French to English) than vise versa. Plus the two languages are structured differently. French is more US Military - think, "trousers, cotton, padded, OD, 1 each" vs "one pair of padded cotton olive drab trousers" so if you have a hard time finding a term, find the noun and it may be a sub entry. And I'm not sure I actually know all the English gun terms the pros use or are interested in. Finally for the French nouns, without the articles it's not real Frenc and for the adjectives - they will vary according the modified noun M or F. So welcome all corrections.

With this list one could browse French double gun websites and pretty well understand what is being offered. This one might be the most popular: http://www.naturabuy.fr/Fusils-Juxtaposes-cat-127.htmlIn reading the ads the posters tend to run sentences or phrases together. Have patience. There are some good things there.

I don't know quite how to say it but there is a very important term when it comes to the French and guns...
How do you say "I Surrender" in French ??

Pretty silly and irrelevant post since we're talking professionally about double guns. Gene Williams

Recently seen at a gun show. A sign next to a French military rifle, "For Sale, Never Fired, Dropped Only Once".

Gentlemen congratulations on a fine idea and the collaboration it required.
May I ask if you are open to having a link to it on my website?
Thanks, Pete
Shotgun Jones,
Is that French or a Dialect? Here is what I find... juste un autre Belgique tacot - just another Belgian rattletrap.

Thank you for the work and assistance for exploring French/Belgian gun websites.
So many are ignorant of the quality of weapons to be found there. The only unfortunate thing is I have yet to see as easy a path to import guns from France as there is for guns from the UK.
