Rifled slugs are actually INTENDED for smoothbore shotguns. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled shotguns. Performance will vary from gun to gun, but Modified choke seems to give the best accuracy with rifled slugs for many shotguns.
NO. Early shotguns have softer steel barrels, and are not rated for steel shot. It will damage the choke of the shotgun.

Shotguns fire shells with many small pellets- or shot. The shot string is a 3 dimensional view of the shot in flight. When bird hunting with a shotgun, your goal is to have the shot string intersect the bird in flight.

Many early shotguns were single shot muzzleloaders. Some were double-barrel with barrels arranged side-by-side. This is also true of later breach-loading shotguns. The action style for these single and double-barrel breachloaders is 'break-open'.
yes and no. Yes because they are very powerful. No because you have to reload after almost every shot. shotguns will kill anything! They are best for close(under 40 yards). and every weapon wheter a shotgun , slingshot or spear has to be reloaded after every shot!
