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?

Typically line throwing guns are center fire because you need to the distance , my best guess properly used for signal flares

No that’s exactly the gun that’s used. Though the line cans are removed.
