Absolutely love the clickbait title! and the reference to the Princess Bride.

One question Ian that I've always been hazy about is where do shotguns with rifled slug barrels fit into the legal framework? Especially since rifles over .50 caliber are often lumped under the Destructive Device category. Did ATF make an arbitrary decision on them like they've done for certain sporting cartridges?

Rifled shotguns have not really been the subject of much scrutiny, as far as I know. They are considered shotguns by legal definition because they fire shotgun shells - one of the defining characteristics listed in the NFA.
