 Sure.  Under 100 yards, a shotgun with slugs is
 probably more lethal than a rifle but may tend to
 be not as finely accurate and destroys more meat.

 In some states, shotguns are the only firearm allowed,
 no rifles.  Mostly these states are in the East to 
 Northeast. If I remember correctly, there some counties
 that even require the use of buckshot only while others 
 require slugs only.

 Accidently, a long ways, probably several hundred yards
             or more with slugs.   With buckshot, probably
             less than 200 yards.
 Purposely, saboted magnum slugs are probably accurate
            out beyond 200 yards.
