   Rifled barrels for shotguns are an unusual legal issue in the United   
   States of America. Firearms with rifled barrels are designed to fire   
   single projectiles, and a firearm that is designed to fire a single   
   projectile with a diameter greater than .50 caliber (12.7 mm) is   
   considered a destructive device and as such is severely restricted.   
   However, the ATF has ruled that as long as the gun was designed to fire   
   shot, and modified (by the user or the manufacturer) to fire single   
   projectiles with the addition of a rifled barrel, then the firearm is   
   still considered a shotgun and not a destructive device.   
      
   In some areas, rifles are prohibited for hunting animals such as deer.   
   This is generally due to safety concerns. Shotgun slugs have a far   
   shorter maximum range than most rifle cartridges, and are safer for use   
   near populated areas. In other areas, there are special shotgun-only   
   seasons for deer. This may include a modern slug shotgun, with rifled   
   barrel and high performance sabot slugs, which provides rifle-like power   
   and accuracy at ranges over 150 yards (140 m).
