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.

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.

What Weapons were used in the Battle of the Alamo?

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

What causes the spinning of a bullet when shot from a rifle or handgun?

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.

Most powerful and accurate bb rifle?

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.

Which is a better gun the crosman recruit or the crosman 1077 12 shot semi-auto?

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.
