Term is breaching- meaning to open. Shotguns used for the purpose of forcibly opening a locked, barricaded door by blowing off the hinges or lock.
Answer 2 Alternately, during the middle ages, when cannons were first being used during seige warfare, some armies were equipped with guns of very large caliber (some up to 20" or more) that fired very heavy stone or iron projectiles. These huge guns were intended to batter down the stone walls of the fortresses of those days. I have heard these guns referred to as "breeching guns", also.

Why are boys robes usually shorter than girls robes?
There is a misconception that boys robes are shorter due to the 16th-19th century idea of "Breeching." Breeching occurs when a boy, who in his youth, was commonly and acceptably dressed in gowns, makes a transition into wearing pants, or 'breeches.' The reason boys robes are shorter, some hypothesize, is due to the fact that before boys could wear breeches they wore "short-coats", which were shorter gowns. However, attributing the process of breeching to robe lengths is erroneous. In reality, boys robes do not tend to be shorter than girls robes. The length of a robe, whether it is a bath robe, a silk robe, or a fleece robe, varies by the company making it and not by gender.
