Beretta Paradox gun and Choke

[PerH]

Beretta have come up with a Paradox choke and gun that suits it well,but also other Beretta guns choke can be used in.

Perhaps Fiocchi can make Paradox ammo also now,so many can enjoy it again .

But also other slug and Brenneke ammo will work also they say , can be a god option for many in the Former Old India Regions to use in the thick woods and jungles.

Rifled chokes have been around for quite a while, normally used in semi-auto shotguns to make them into a slug gun for deer sized game. Of course the other option is to buy a fully rifled barrel, but the choke is a less expensive alternative.

In the application shown here by Beretta of having two barrels (O/U or SxS), it would mandate having double triggers to be able to quickly select which barrel to fire for the situation. Having to rely on the barrel selector in a hunting scenario would not be a wise choice.

Is there any difference in Paradox (as in this video) or rifled choke?

Carlson's has been offering rifled choke tubes for Beretta/Benelli Mobil shotguns (and just about every other brand of shotgun as well) for quite a while. They may not have the fancy name of "Paradox" or Beretta branding, but they cost about the same price and appear to do the exact same thing.

Somebody in Beretta marketing is getting a raise for coming up with this idea.

Plus they hijacked the term "paradox" to mean "sophisticated rifled choke" when in reality, paradox guns had a significantly longer portion of the end of the barrel rifled.... that, or their choke actually alters the spacetime continuum and sends you back to a moment where you can steal your choke tube before you can use it... sticking you in a never ending paradoxical loop.

No, this is actually different.

A true Paradox shoots shot as effectively as a bullet (hence the notion of a "paradox"). For instance my 110 years young William Evans shoots 1 1/8 ounces of No. 6 shot in perfect light modified patterns and fires 4 (LXR/LXR) 740 gr bullets into 2.5 inches at 100 meters. What is interesting about the Beretta design, like a true Paradox, these tubes are designed to shoot shot or a slug. This is actually a new (old) thing - not just clever marketing.

Neither Carlson nor any of the other screw in designs nor any fully rifled design can shoot shot effectively - at least none of which I am aware. I would think it would be popular in Europe where a hunter on a drive hunt may encounter a pheasant, hare, or three hundred pound boar.
