No
How does the length of a barrel affect the accuracy of the gun?
It may or may not depending on the projectile and velocity.
What does it mean if a gun has a fluted barrel?
The barrel has deep grooves milled into the outside of the barrel. Called flutes, the grooves reduce the weight of the barrel, yet leave it a stiff barrel with very good accuracy.
What is th purpose of rifling a gun barrel?
Rifling a gun barrel causes the bullet to spin when it comes out. This makes the bullet fly more straight and greatly improves accuracy. Much like a spinning football spirals.
What is the difference between a rifle and a shotgun?

Can you change out barrel on the model 300 12 gauge and make this a slug gun only?
You did not specify the make of your Model 300 (there are several), but in general, a 12 g shotgun CAN fire slugs from any standard barrel. You will get better accuracy from a slug barrel, but you could use any barrel OTHER than an "Extra Full", or a shotgun with a variable choke.
How do bullets spin when fired from a gun?
Bullets spin when fired from a gun due to the rifling inside the barrel. Rifling consists of grooves that twist around the inside of the barrel, causing the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel. This spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's flight and improves accuracy.
Why do bullets spin when fired from a gun?
Bullets spin when fired from a gun because of rifling, which are spiral grooves inside the gun barrel. The spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's flight, improving accuracy and range.
Was the Paris gun effective?
The Paris Gun was not a great success: the payload was minuscule, the barrel required frequent replacement and its accuracy was only good enough for city-sized targets.
