A rifle is a long gun with a rifled barrel designed for accuracy at long distances, while a shotgun is a long gun with a smoothbore barrel designed for shooting multiple projectiles at close range.
A shotgun scope usually has a shorter paralex and heavier cross hairs.
A musket is smooth bored, like a shotgun's bore. A rifle has rifling inside the bore (grooves).
One key difference between shotgun and rifle shooting techniques is the way the gun is held and aimed. In shotgun shooting, the gun is typically held at the hip and aimed using the shooter's peripheral vision, while in rifle shooting, the gun is held at the shoulder and aimed using the sights on the gun.
A shotgun typically has a smooth bore and is designed to shoot multiple pellets or a single slug, while a rifle has a rifled barrel and is designed to shoot a single projectile with accuracy over longer distances.
Rifle ammunition is typically smaller and faster, designed for long-range accuracy. Shotgun ammunition is larger and spreads out, making it better for close-range targets like birds or clay pigeons.
Caliber is the size designation for rifle and handgun bullets. Guage is the size designation for shotgun rounds.
There is no difference between an AR rifle and an AR rifle
One difference is that the inside of a shotgun barrel is smooth and the inside of a rifle barrel is what they call "fluted" which puts rotation on the bullet as it moves though the barrel.
