I can’t say, but I know rifles shoot them too. I can blew smoke rings on purpose but I get them pretty often randomly when smoking.

I believe your getting a really good seal with the powder ,ball an wad. It creates gas and it creates the nice smoke ring.

Bernoulli’s principle,
with still air at the just right temperature.

Kinda like a wad blowing a hole through your shot pattern.
