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.
I do not personally, but yes, there is a single shot rifle that can have the rifle barrel replaced with a shotgun barrel.
in the aliens film, the pulse rifle had a shotgun as the second barrel.
Generally, no. While single shot rifles MAY have the rifle barrel replaced with a shotgun barrel, reverse is not true (usually) A rifle cartridge generates much higher pressures than a shotgun shell.
It is when you fire the rifle or shotgun, but the projectile fails to leave the barrel of the firearm.
Who made it? Is it a shotgun, rifle or handgun?
Rifle, handgun and shotgun can all have "long" barrels
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 choke is a device placed on the end of a shotgun barrel that changes the pattern of the shot as it leaves the rifle.
yes for a shotgun you need a rifle barrel DO NOT shoot slugs if you have a poly-choke!
Slug guns have a fully rifled barrel like a center fire rifle. This helps improve accuracy. A regular shotgun barrel is smooth bore with different choke tubes for a specific desired shot pattern.
the musket does not have a rifled barrel and a rifle does
Who made it, what caliber is it, is it a rifle, shotgun or hadgun, how long is the barrel, is the barrel round or octagon, what is the stock made out of, what is the serial number(if any)?
