Well see spread shot only spreads at long distances. So for home defense your spread is only going to be maybe 3-4 inches in diameter....if that. Unless your gun has a spreader choke tube in it. Which is rifled, which causes the shot to spin, and centrifugal force will then spread them out farther. The advantage is that it has much more stoping power. And yeah he did, but that wasn't due to the shotguns spread, that was due to chenney's ignorence of other shooters.
