“Oružje sa olučenim cevima”
“Weapon with rifled barrels”

http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/g/definition-of-smoothbore-...
As a rule, firearms which fire single projectiles (bullets) have rifled barrels; guns designed to fire shot have smoothbore barrels.

As this implies, most shotguns are smoothbores. The exceptions are some shotguns designed for shooting slugs (which are single bullets fired from shotgun shells), which have fully-rifled barrels.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_barrel
Under normal circumstances, any firearm with a rifled barrel over 12.7 millimeters (.50 inches) is legally considered a destructive device in the United States.

Explanation:
Long gun
Long guns are designed to be fired while in contact with the shoulder of the shooter and include rifles and shotguns.
http://www.boomershoot.org/general/gundict.htm#LongGun

Modern firearms come in two primary forms: smooth bore and rifled bore. A smooth-bore weapon has a barrel that is completely smooth on the inside, while a rifled-bore weapon has grooves that help guide a bullet down the length of the barrel.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/148635-smooth-bore-vs-rifl...

Kod modela 40 cev je olučena, a kod modela 38 cev je glatka.
Model 40 employs rifled bore; model 38 has smooth bore.
http://www.mycity-military.com/uploads2/65870_795097137_RG-0...

Now, to compare, Russian gun laws are fairly stringent; you need a permit to own a smooth-bore long gun or a tear-gas pistol, and only after owning either for several years can you apply for a permit for a rifled-bore long gun, and as a private citizen, you cannot legally purchase a handgun.

Explanation:

"Rifle

This article is about the long gun. For other uses, see Rifle (disambiguation).

A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, with a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the barrel walls. The raised areas of the rifling are called "lands," which make contact with the projectile (for small arms usage, called a bullet), imparting spin around an axis corresponding to the orientation of the weapon. When the projectile leaves the barrel, this spin lends gyroscopic stability to the projectile and prevents tumbling, in the same way that a properly thrown American football or rugby ball behaves. This allows the use of aerodynamically-efficient pointed bullets (as opposed to the spherical balls used in muskets) and thus improves range and accuracy. The word "rifle" originally referred to the grooving, and a rifle was called a "rifled gun." Rifles are used in warfare, hunting and shooting sports.

can't make it shorter, unless you use military slang: "longs" / "duge cevi"

however, depending on the intended audience and the style of the whole text, it might be better to stick to the expanded version.
