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 a bore on a shotgun?
Bore is the number of lead spheres the diameter of the barrel it would take to equal one pound. Ergo, the larger the bore, the smaller the barrel.
Can you shoot a sabot slug in a smooth bore shotgun barrel?

What is an unchoked shotgun barrel?
An unchoked barrel, also known as a cylinder choke, is a barrel that has no constriction at the end. The bore is a constant size throughout its length.
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.
What is a barrel bore?
The bore of a barrel is the inside of it.
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 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.
What is a 410 shot gun?
This is a shotgun with an internal barrel diameter (called the "bore) of approximately .410" which shoots a shell which is about .410" in diameter. It is the only shotgun shell size that uses this convention. A 12 gauge shotgun, for example, does not have a bore of "12". A 20 gauge shotgun has a smaller bore than a 12 gauge and a 10 gauge has a bigger bore than a 12. Gauge size is based on the number of lead balls of the bore diameter which are required to make a pound (16 ounces). 10 balls, 12 balls, or 20 balls.
