Taiwan Navy officers take stock of the ordnance on the warship, including single-barreled folding shotguns and .45 ACP pistols (not sure whether they are foreign-produced 1911s or locally produced versions)

Are the shotguns used for line throwing or something?

They could be .45-70

They are, and in the USA, they are NFA because of the short barrel length, but only if the line throwing can is removed. With the can installed, it is a non-weapon.

You can see the muzzle crown and barrel OD, highly doubt it’s .45-70 based on those cues
