No but it won't work nery well. It spins the wad and throws a donut shaped pattern. I don't suppose any body has ever shot enough to damage the barrel because it not very effective.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

Doesn't work worth beans. A smooth bore barrel is the way to go.Shoots shot, buckshot , and foster type slugs without any problems at all. Will do everything you could ask a shotgun to do within reason.

I also suspect if you have to shoot at a snake close to your feet with a rifled barrel there would be way more of a chance that a piece of shot might hit your toe.

I bought some 22lr shot shells and shot them out of my stevens 22.
Set up a paper plate at 20 ft. and shot.
Not ONE pellet hit the plate.
Between 5-10 ft. in front of me the ground got peppered though :D
The shot just spins out of the barrel

That's exactly it. The shot follows the rifling and as soon as it leaves the barrel it just scatters.
