Getting caught using one of those, of course, would probably get you killed even if you survived the duel by using it. I don't believe the majority of dueling pistols were rifled at all, although there's no denying that you're right about a fair number.
Pistols are generally cited by these programs as being one of the least-deadly weapons to duel with.
