In general. a rifle fires a single projectile that is designed to be spun by the grooves inside the gun barrel. A shotgun fires a much larger diameter shell. This is filled with multiple round lead pellets. The weight of all the pellets in one shell is usually greater than the weight of a rifle bullet, but they do not travel as fast, and are not meant to be spun when fired.
