What is a choke tube like on a shotgun??

Answer 1

Choke tubes may be an external feature or a internal feature on a shotgun.  its design is to restrict choke in order to control shot pattern at longer ranges.  My benelli has cryogenically frozen choke tubes that have varying constriction from F- full choke, to C- for Cylinder.

Answer 2

a choke can spread the width of the pellets coming from the barrel of the shotgun and it can decrese the width of the pellets which is usually for a big target, while the one that spreads the width is for smaller targets. Im sorry for using the term width and I should have used the term blast radius.

Answer 3

choke tubes make the shots spread different fully choke is a very close/tight pattern     modafided choke is a medium pattern spread   improved is a big wide pattern

improved is for close shots like rabbits

modified is for piegions

fully is for farther shots and for ducks

Answer 4

The choke tube, on most models, screws into the end of the barrel and regulates the pattern at which the pellets will fly.

For example a Full choke will leave a tight pattern and modified will leave a little bit larger one.

There are many different types of chokes that you can get to suit your needs.

Answer 5

the choke tube controls the spread of the BB's turn it one way the spread is larger the other its tighter
