A Shotgun Microphone is a very slimline microphone that is highly directional, so should be pointed directly at its target for the best recording. A shotgun microphone is named after a shotgun, as it shares a similar looking barrel and much like a shotgun, the mic needs to be pointed directly at its target to effectively pick up the signal.
As you move a shotgun microphone off axis, you can get some unique sounds which has also been very popular for cab recording guitars.
