==The first slug barrels== The first slug barrels were cylinder bore barrels (no choke) outfitted with [[rifle]] sights, which are far better suited to accurate shooting of still targets than the standard bead sight used for shooting small, fast moving targets with [[shot (pellet)|shot]]. Most [[pump-action]] and [[semi-automatic shotgun]]s have barrels that can easily be changed in under a minute without tools, so having more than one barrel for a single shotgun is common{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}. With the addition of a slug barrel, the standard shotgun used for bird [[hunting]], [[skeet shooting|skeet]], or [[trap shooting]] can then be used for hunting medium to large game, such as [[deer]] or [[elk]] at ranges of over 100 meters (109 yards).
