I would use either a modified,or improved cylinder,choke for close in small bird hunting.
It's mostly used for squirrel hunting, but you could use it for other close quarters hunting.
Break open the action and it should be engraved on the metal that is normally unseen when the action is close, that or it should be on the barrel. If the chokes are removable then it should be engraved on those as well.
Whichever you will use more. If your hunting season is close, or you want to shoot clay's often, get a shotgun. If you would play paintball more then that, get a paintball marker.
Shotgun chokes, whether they be screw-in choke tubes or fixed-chokes (permanent part of the barrel) are used to control the diameter and density of the pellet pattern at a specific distance. Example: An improved cylinder (IC) choke would produce a larger diameter (more open) pattern at around 30 yards. This style of choke is used for close shooting at upland game birds over a pointing dog. A full choke (F) has a tighter constriction so the pattern would be smaller in diameter with more pellets so it would be a better choice for longer distances if hunting ducks or geese. It's always a good idea to "pattern" a shotgun barrel by shooting at a large sheet of paper at various distances to actually see how the barrel's choke and your chosen shotgun shell load react to one another. This way you can actually measure the results of your chosen combination.
Is it necessary, no. Do you want one, maybe. What are you doing with it? Home protection? No sling. Hunting? No sling. Close combat with multiple weapons? Maybe.
Rifle ammunition is typically smaller and faster, designed for long-range accuracy. Shotgun ammunition is larger and spreads out, making it better for close-range targets like birds or clay pigeons.
Rifles are typically long-barreled firearms with rifled barrels designed for accuracy at longer distances, while shotguns have smoothbore barrels and are used for shooting multiple projectiles like pellets or slugs. Rifles are often used for precision shooting and hunting at longer ranges, while shotguns are commonly used for hunting birds or close-range targets with a spread of pellets.
the gun that is more worth your money is a 12 gauge because you can go deer, turkey, pheasant and duck hunting and trap shooting without having to worry about getting to far because with a 20 guage duck hunting you would pretty much be able to grab the duck by the time it is close enough to shoot
shotgun for close range and rifle for long range.
It depends on what your hunting, moose, bear, rabbit, birds. Hunting large animals I suggest a large caliber rifle. Most hunters in Alaska also carry a large caliber handgun (.357, .41 Mag, 44 Mag.) even if they are hunting small game of fishing. It depends on what your hunting, moose, bear, rabbit, birds.

Yes, you could be blasted to PIECES with a shotgun
A rifle is a long-barreled firearm with rifling inside the barrel to improve accuracy and range. It typically fires a single projectile (bullet) at a time. A shotgun has a shorter barrel and fires multiple pellets or a single slug, making it more effective at close range for hunting or self-defense.
