Years ago there were shotguns known as "Punt guns". They were not fired from the shoulder, but strapped to small boats (punts) and used to kill flocks of ducks for sale. No longer legal for hunting, these were muzzleloaders, about 2 guage, and fired about a pound of shot. The largest shotgun that was shoulder fired was the 4 guage. In current US hunting regs, the 10 g is the largest legal shotgun for hunting.

What is rifle bore?
The bore is the inside of the barrel of the gun. Bore dimension for most rifles is caliber, which is the bore diameter in fractions of an inch or in millimeters. Some older big game rifles had designations such as "12 bore", which is bore diameter the size of a shotgun barrel of the same gauge. Gauge is the number of round balls fitting the bore that can be made from a pound of lead.

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 nominal bore size 12ga shotgun?
The nominal bore size of a 12-gauge shotgun refers to the diameter of the shotgun's barrel, which is approximately 0.729 inches (18.5 mm). The "gauge" system measures the number of lead balls of the bore diameter that can fit into a pound; thus, a 12-gauge shotgun is designed to accommodate 12 lead balls of that diameter. This measurement influences the shotgun's performance, including its shot pattern and recoil.

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.
