Pretty much, yes. You should be able to shoot regular ammunition through it although without rifleing, the bullet will just rattle down the bore and won't be stabilized. Accuracy would be terrible.
Yes he was, he was shot with a 50 caliber sniper rifle and survived!
Dave was shot and killed to be put out of his misery.
at that time there were only single shot rifles and pistols. A single shot weapon was not the best to have when fighting indians. He felt a multiple shot weapon was in order. So, he developed the first multiple shot percussion pistol....that developed into the cartridge pistol and rifle............
To provide you with an answer, more specifics are needed here - both to what question you're asking, exactly, and what your rifle is.
Kentucky-long rifles mostly, one shot pistols, and cannons ranging from 12pdr- an 18pdr and bob Anything available. Including Pennsylvania/Kentucky rifle, British Brown Bess muskets, British Baker Rifles, (British musket and rifles were used by both sides), the U.S. Common Rifle of 1817, trade rifles and smooth-bore muskets, French Charles ville muskets, it's known that Travis used a shotgun. Most of these weapons would have been flintlock, but by the mid 1830's, percussion locks were also starting to be seen, and some of the flintlocks could have been converted to percussion. Handguns... single shot flint and maybe also percussion. All these weapons would have been as real mix-up of calibres. Artillery, smooth bore cannon of various sizes from 3 lb shot up to 18 lb. shot
Rifling. The barrel is not smooth on the inside. There are small grooves spiraling down the barrel which makes the bullet spin. Nearly all shotguns do not have rifling in the barrel.

I do not personally, but yes, there is a single shot rifle that can have the rifle barrel replaced with a shotgun barrel.
Rifled, unless you have one marked "shot only"
Only One no more. It's a break barrel rifle you only have to cock it once for each shot.
Assuming you mean a barrel that is for lead pellets, if the barrel is not rifled, steel shot will not damage the smooth barrel. If it is rifled however, steel shot will in fact damage the rifling.
Yes
No
Of coarse that's what slugs do :)
BB rifles and BB guns are neither accurate or powerful. Basically because of the design of the barrel. Most BB guns use a smooth bore barrel. Where as pellet rifles use a rifled bore barrel. It has grooves that make the pellet spin and fly straighter. BB's tumble when fired out of the barrel. BB guns can injure you but never attain the accuracy, power or speed of a pellet rifle. The best BB rifle I know of (NOT Pellet only rifle) is the Daisy 880. It is capable of firing both BB and single shot Pellets.
A choke is a device placed on the end of a shotgun barrel that changes the pattern of the shot as it leaves the rifle.
The Crosman 1077 is far superior. For two reasons. It is a true Pellet rifle and has a rifled barrel that makes it more accurate. The Recruit is a BB / Pellet rifle with a smooth boar barrel. The 1077 is modeled after the real Ruger 1022.
