FWIW, my feeling is that it's now obsolete to draw a distinction between rifles and smoothbored long guns. All shoulder-mounted long guns are rifles and if you need to talk about the bore, you could add 'rifled' or 'smoothbore'.
This is the common understanding and we should be happy simply with pistols and rifles to describe the outward appearance. Plus carbine and long-barrelled pistol perhaps if you want to be more precise.
