Smooth bore tank barrels use sabot rounds that have fins to stabilize its self, less accuracy more range and have a long life span and easier to clean, more used for anti tank.
Rifled has less range but way better accuracy using more anti personnel, it can use at rounds like HEAT but their less effective with a rotational spin on them, wears out over time.

What is the difference between smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels?
A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot. A rifled shotgun barrel only helps if you are going to be firing slugs, but if you are it improves performance considerably, giving the slug near-rifle accuracy. If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.

Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
