What else can I help you with?
Can you shoot a sabot slug in a smooth bore shotgun barrel?
Yes.
Can you shoot a slug out of a regular shotgun?
Yes and no. The yes comes from simple fact, if the projectile can move down the barrel, it can be fired. I've seen .221 Fireballs fired out of a 7TCU barrel. The no is because you cannot do it well. In effect, if you shoot a slug down a smooth bore shotgun barrel, you will have little in the way of accuracy. Slugs should be shot from a slug barrel, and shot from a smooth bore.
What is the difference between a shotgun and a rifle?
A shotgun typically has a smooth bore and is designed to shoot multiple pellets or a single slug, while a rifle has a rifled barrel and is designed to shoot a single projectile with accuracy over longer distances.
Will shooting copper slugs in a smooth bore barrel wreck the barrel?
Possibly, a copper slug is made for a barrel that has riflings in it and has a straight bore, so if you try to shoot it out of a smooth bore you could mess up the choke, because the copper is solid where as a rifled slug is made of lead which is softer and is hollow in the back side with a plastic piece as a filler to allow for compression. Also if you did shoot a copper slug though a smooth bore it would not be accurate at all.
Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
Can you shoot a non-rifled slug through a smooth-bore barrel and maintain decent accuracy and grouping at 25 yards or more?
NOPE. with out rifling, be it barrel or slug itself, there would be no spin on the slug. You would have minimal accuracy.
Why smooth bore gun?
some firearms, like shotguns, have smooth bores. Due to the wide variety of different projectiles a shotgun is expected to shoot (from a fine dust-like shot, to a single, solid chuck of lead called a slug), the best type of bore, in this case would be a smooth bore. With a rifled barrel, you want to shoot ONLY a projectile of a specific diameter. This way, the rifling grooves can grab the projectile and impart a spin to it. With a shotgun, the presence of rifling would only confound things, and likely the rifling would get worn out / damaged by the wide variety of projectiles sent through it.
What is the difference between a slug gun and a shotgun?
Slug guns have a fully rifled barrel like a center fire rifle. This helps improve accuracy. A regular shotgun barrel is smooth bore with different choke tubes for a specific desired shot pattern.
