New "duckbill" shotgun choke. Seems like a good idea.

[TR675]

It's my year of the shotgun, it looks like, so I'm interested in any accessories that will make me and the ol' 870 more tactical.

And here it looks like we've got a winner. The "Gator" duckbill shotgun attachment replaces the choke tube in your favorite scattergun.

The video for this product shows that it takes a good load of No. 4 buck and, instead of putting it into the dead center of an IDPA target's torso, now spreads it horizontally across two or more targets, or, even better, across one target and a lot of empty space!

Needless to say this seems practical and tactical, and I'll be getting one. Only problem is my 870 is a cylinder bore and doesn't have a choke, so I guess I'll have to figure some other way to attach it. Duct tape, maybe.

New company or maybe newly manufactured items but th concept is not new. I seem to recall that Navy SEAL James "Patches" Watson talked about having one on his shotgun in Vietnam in his book "Walking Point."

I'm sure it was fine in Vietnam where they were shooting blindly into the jungle. Maybe not so great in the home.

Trivia: the shotgun in the original "Doom" had a duckbill attachment If its spread was anything to go by.

Also: attaching a duckbill choke to my shotgun with duct tape? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Before Doom, the guys in Contra pioneered the vertical duckbill shot. It was a somewhat specialized tactical tool for side-scrolling operating environments, but I operated pretty operationally with it, especially against the helicopter gunship, if I recall correctly.

I think it is almost as good of an idea as the duckbill choke. Not sure why I didn't think of it except that I hate duct tape.
