No, they do not. I have fired hundreds upon hundreds through smooth bore shotgun barrels.

I grew up during the time when rifling in a shotgun barrel was unusual.
There was a type of barrel made in the later 19th and early 20th Centuries where some
barrels were choked and rifled near the muzzle allowing the use of shot or slugs.
These were known individually as a “Paradox Gun” the first of which I think were
commercially produced by Holland & Holland.

I have used smooth bore to shot rifled slug. Have hit deer at over a hundred yards with it. I have also missed deer closer with that gun. I parked it and went to a modern muzzy. That was a more reliable gun. Now I used s 350 legends. Shot a big buck with it this year.
Might have to go back to the muzzy as 350 ammo is hard to come by.
