Find or build a "Duckbill" attachment for your shotgun. The Seals in Vietnam had these for Ithaca 37's.

Causes the pattern to spread laterally.

With every projectile having a lawyer attached to it...spreading out my shot pattern is the last thing that I want on a gun. The duckbill may have been good for the jungles, but I'm not fighting in a jungle. I want every projectile that I throw downrange to hit what I intended to hit.

Then YOU should definitely not consider a shotgun. For that matter, there is no way ANYONE can guarantee that what they "send downrange" will hit what they intended. If there were then nobody would ever miss, would they?

I'm not talking about sending my rounds in the same hole time after time. I just think that the duckbill feature is unnecessary. Probably why it hasn't ever gained popularity since they came up with it 40-50 years ago. If you need spread then you can just change brands of ammo (you'd be surprised at the difference in spread) or do a number of other things. I want all of my rounds to be impacting my target though so that it has an effect...so I'm of the tighter spread school myself. To each their own.
