There are no official rules in trap, skeet or sporting clays that specifically prohibit short-barreled guns. There are restrictions on shot size and shell power. Some clubs frown on using short barrel guns but the majority don't care in my experience.
As for trap, a cylinder gun isn't the best choice because the birds are moving away from the shooter and usually don't have patterns dense enough to hit the longer birds. Cylinder guns are better for skeet where the distances are shorter.
A trap gun is usually a 30-34" barrel, tightly choked, set up to shoot high which means you can see the entire bird as you track it.
