Rifling.
The barrel is not smooth on the inside. There are small grooves spiraling down the barrel which makes the bullet spin.
Nearly all shotguns do not have rifling in the barrel.

An aerial bomb and a rifle (which shoots a bullet) are not easily concealable upon a person. The handgun is to grenade, as the rifle is to (an aerial) bomb.
