Nothing to do with shotguns or rifles.
From the manual for a machine for processing cardboard boxes:
"
La máquina integra a lo largo de la misma cuatro chapas, unas a derechas y otras a izquierdas llamadas escopetas (1) donde en su parte trasera es más alta siendo la zona del cargador (2), donde se apilan las planchas manualmente.

3. The height of the "escopeta" in the rear section allows for easy stacking of the plates.

For two reasons:
1. It looks like an upside-down shotgun.
2. That's what escopeta means https://www.wordreference.com/definicion/escopeta
Also, there are no set-in-stone translations for machinery parts like these. The (presumably Spanish-speaking) manufacturer gets to decide what they're called in Spanish, and you decide what they're called in English.

I know it's a plate (chapa), but it looks like a shotgun, with the stock on the left and the barrel on the right.
