Smyth Busters: Do Rifled Shotgun Slugs Require a Rifled Barrel?
This video debunks the myth that rifled shotgun slugs require a rifled barrel. It clarifies that rifled slugs are designed for smoothbore barrels, using helical fins for stability. Conversely, sabot slugs, which are lighter and longer, necessitate a rifled barrel for the sabot to engage the rifling and provide gyroscopic stability.
