What is a Short Barreled Shotgun?

Let's examine the definiton first. A Short Barreled Shotgun, or SBS, is defined as any shotgun (which is defined as a
shoulder fired (read "has a stock" this is important), smooth bore firearm) with a barrel of less than 18"
or an overall length of less than 26", or any weapon made from a
shotgun falling into the same length parameters. There is always some confusion as to whether a weapon is a SBS or an Any Other Weapon (AOW). We'll get to that later, but if your weapon has a smooth bore, a shoulder stock, and has a barrel less than 18" or an overall length of less than 26", then you have an SBS.
