I don't know the exact name, but I believe guns of this type are called "Rook" rifles--used for shooting small game in Europe/GB primarily.  30 to 32 cal. was the most common, if I recall.  It would be the small game equivalent of an American farmboy's single shot shotgun, except of course for birds.
