what is a rifled barrel? Is the benelli M4 a rifled barrel?

As the term implies, a shotgun barrel that is rifled has lands and groves machined into the bore of the barrel. These impart a spin to the projectile as it travels down the barrel. For a shotgun the only projectile you shoot from a rifled barrel is called a slug. These are a single ball of lead generally shaped like a bullet as you would see in a rifle cartridge. Sabot slugs are designed to shoot from rifled shotgun barrels.

Many brands offer a rifled barrel for their shotguns and since many shotguns are designed to change barrels, you can have several barrel for your shotgun and change them to fit the type of shooting you want to do.

I think the model you asked about only comes with a smooth bore barrel there should be rifled barrels for it. I am not sure as this is not a model I know much about nor care to.
