Well, I myself just squish them twice in a vice, in an X shape.
Then no matter when I Jerk the Trigger?
They might get hit with one pellet!!
Seriously, people spend big bucks on things like Vangcomp chokes, and testing every available 00 Buck load on the market.
Trying to get the tightest pattern they can with buckshot, at the longest range possible.
A swarm of buckshot to the chest where you aimed it leaves little chance of stray pellets killing someone across the street.
And a concentrated swarm of 00 Buck center mass makes a rat hole nothing can shake off and keep fighting back.
The old duckbill was designed for riot control back when it was OK to bounce bird shot off the pavement and hit rioters in the legs.
It was later tried in Vietnam jungle as ambush suppression with 00 Buckshot.
Neither use proved really effective, or you could buy a shotgun today with a duck-bill choke.
But, you can't.
