Quoted: What the hell kind of pattern do you get with a 15.5" barrel? Sounds more like something used to blast Sambos breaking into your home.

Barrel lengths will determine swing weight; the choke determines tightness of pattern.
Bottom line is if a 15" barrel, and a 30" barrel both have full chokes, both pattern will be the same from the same distance of the end of barrel. The 30" barrel just gets you 15" closer to the target from end of barrel.
Also, in the states, any shotgun that has a barrel shorter than 18" is considered a NFA item .
(Mike, I'm suprissed that you missed this one).
