over-and-under shotgun [rifle]
From http://pedia.nodeworks.com/D/DO/DOU/Double-barreled_shotgun :
An "over and under" shotgun is a type of double barreled shotgun in which the barrels sit one on top of the other (contrast with the "side by side" shotgun, in which the two barrels lie beside each other).
Consequently, the "escopeta paralela" would be a "side-by-side shotgun [rifle]".
Suerte.
