List of shotgun chokes
All shotgun chokes have a Weight of 1 unit.
Name | Threading type | Shop value | Compatible calibers |
---|---|---|---|
Shotgun choke, Full, .410 bore | Standard | 250 | .410 bore |
Shotgun choke, Mod, .410 bore | Standard | 150 | .410 bore |
Shotgun choke, Full, 20 gauge | Standard | 400 | 20 gauge |
Shotgun choke, Mod, 20 gauge | Standard | 200 | 20 gauge |
Shotgun choke, Full, 12 gauge | Standard | 500 | 12 gauge, 12 gauge CAWS |
Shotgun choke, Mod, 12 gauge | Standard | 350 | 12 gauge, 12 gauge CAWS |
Effects of shotgun chokes
Besides caliber, shotgun chokes exist in two variants: Full and Modified (Mod). Each type refers to a different level of constriction, which in turn changes the performance of the attached weapon in different ways.
Chokes tighten the pattern of a shotgun shooting multiple projectile shells, with the following effects:
- A shotgun equipped with no choke is said to have a cylinder bore. By itself, this offers no effects.
- A Full choke has the most constriction (the smallest muzzle diameter) and therefore tightens the pattern the most. It increases the average amount of pellets that will hit the target, but effectively requires the shooter to be more accurate; such chokes introduce a FT+1 malus, intended to cancel out the FT-1 bonus of multiprojectile shells, effectively simulating a tighter spread.
- A Modified or Mod choke offers a little less bore constriction. It is intended to be a compromise between a cylinder bore and a full choke; this choke does not offer a FT+1 malus, but doesn't improve the amount of pellets that hit the target as well as a full choke.
Every time a hit is scored when shooting a multiprojectile shell, a projectile check must be made to find out how many pellets or flechette hit the target. The exact check depends on the amount of projectiles, which is determined by caliber and shell type. The way a shotgun choke works is by modifying the projectile check. Chokes generally increase the average amount of projectiles that will hit but also decrease the chances of extreme amounts (closer to 1 and closer to the max possible amount) of projectiles hitting. In comparison, a cylinder bore (no choke) offers equal chances for all possible amounts, from 1 to the maximum.
