Process that one if you dare
You can get rifled shotguns, or get a shotgun and add rifling to it, though I think they tend to be more restricted than normal shotguns in the US, and firing shot tends to muck the rifling up.
"Smoothbore rifle", on the other hand, is just wrong.
Likewise, laser/plasma rifle is either wrong, or rather weird.

There are rifled shotguns. But they only shoot slugs. They're commonly refered to as "slug guns."
Er, if they aren't designed to fire shot, why are they called shotguns?
