This device resembles the bill of a terran aquatic avian fitted to the muzzle (so called 'duckbill chokes') and modifies the typical circular shot pattern into an ellipse, optimizing the shotgun pattern for combat. |

The part in red is wrong. An "optimized" pattern for a shotgun will place every buckshot onto the bad guy. We do not want any buckshot to miss the bad guy, as we are responsible for every projectile we send down range. A duck bill spreader makes that very difficult and is therefore not useful. |

A duck bill is a pattern destroyer. What did work is the old A&W Diverter. Right or wrong, it did produce rectangular patterns with most shot sizes.
A & W Diverter pics #4 buck spread in a horizontal fan probably sounded like a good idea in a jungle around 1968. . |

Duck bill chokes were used in Vietnam and that was pretty much the only place they were used so calling it a combat choke isn't really wrong. |
