Not strictly the case!
There are such thing as 'rifled slugs' which can be fired from shotguns. They consist of a solid rifled lead projectile with an obturator (fing wot stops all the gasses wot propel it goin past it innit) fitted to the rear end. The rifling makes them spin and and makes them kinda accurate.
The Ithaca 10g equipped with aforementioned slugs has been described as a 'one man road block'. All I know is they put great big fuckoff dents in 1/2" steel plate from 75 yards.

excellent point expertly made!
pedantic question: is it a bullet?

yeah,
A solid lead projectile fired from a casing down a barrel is classed as a bullet in my opinion anyway.

CP - 'kinda accurate'?? Really, I've only ever used them on a range and don't get me wrong when they hit the intended target then fuck they do some damage, it's hitting it that's the problem! (Depending on the range of course)
