Sawed/Sawn off barrel or full length?

[nelaB]

Hi, have been trying to iron out the details of CTB via shotgun, and have always planned on using a sawn-off double barrel shotgun. (At least theoretically) I figured this would make positioning easier and possible increased spread could help mitigate room for error. However, I can't seem to find a definitive answer on what difference it would make. If anyone knows more or has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. I would ideally be aiming orally and for the pons region, if this makes any difference in the question.

when it comes to ctb, i can't imagine much difference between a sawn-off and full barrel shotgun. while yes, there would be differences in muzzle velocity, powder combustion, and spread; at point-blank range, such factors would presumably be negligible.

IT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SAWING OFF A SHOTGUN BELOW AN 18 INCH BARREL LENGTH IS A FELONY IN THE UNITED STATES

I had a strong feeling it wouldn't make much of a difference at such close range, but could still definitely see it making positioning easier. Thanks for the important note though, now I know better :) Last thing I would do (other than pull the trigger) is break the law.
