Not all types of guns have rifling. Shotguns, for example, typically have smoothbore barrels, meaning they lack rifling. This design is intentional, as shotguns are designed to fire multiple projectiles (shot) or larger single projectiles (slugs) that spread out over a wider area, making them effective for hunting birds or in close-range situations. Rifling is primarily used in firearms that fire single projectiles, as it helps stabilize the bullet for greater accuracy over longer distances.
