[3]Some sources state that the first pioneer was a Czech named Dominik Brandejs, who made shotguns with a choke in order to reduce the dispersion of shots, but his design was not popular in the 1820s.

  4. Slug barrel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_barrel

    Early shotgun slugs were "rifled" with deformable fins cast into the outside of the soft lead slug, which allowed the slug to swage down to fit the choke. With an open choke, the reduction in diameter is minimal, so accuracy does not suffer much; tighter chokes, however, deform the slug enough to impact accuracy significantly, and the impact of ...

    An airgun slug is a new [when?} type of pellet recently developed for pre-charged pneumatic airguns. Unlike the conventional diabolo -shaped pellet, which is aerodynamically poor and relies heavily on drag -stabilisation to maintain accuracy, the slug pellet is cylindro-conoidally shaped like a Minié ball and relies predominantly on spin ...

    Discharging both barrels at the same time has long been a hunting trick employed by hunters using 8 gauge "elephant" shotguns, firing the two 875 gr (56.7 g) slugs for sheer stopping power at close range. [citation needed] Later models use a single trigger that alternately fires both barrels, called a single selective trigger or SST. [9]

    A view of the break-action of a side-by-side, and an over-and-under double-barrelled shotgun, both shown with the action open. For most of the history of the shotgun, the breechloading break-action shotgun was the most common type, and double-barreled variants are by far the most commonly seen in modern days.

    Different options on shotgun chokes [26] and ammunition (from different pellet sizes and up to slugs) makes for interesting choke and ammunition choices based on the stage at hand where the competitor has to consider the spread of the choke relative to the distance. All divisions have limits of the number of shells loaded at the beginning of ...
