Dear DeeJ et. al.:
This is one of those highly technical posts that are meaningless in the bigger picture of Destiny the game, but it still bugs the RNGesus out of me; so, please, hear me out.
You can't put a field choke on a sniper rifle.
No way, no how. Nor does it fit on a hand cannon or any other kind of rifle.
"Field choke" is a modification to shotguns, and shotguns ONLY, which changes the shot pattern as it leaves the barrel. It's basically the "shot package" perk that you already have on them. So I cringe every time I add a "field choke" to a rifle in Destiny. I know you mean well and are just using terminology that sounds good, but could you possibly use terms that both sound good and mean something?
Here's a list of terms that you could use instead:
Chrome Barrel
Enhanced Rifling
Ported Barrel
Barrel Vent
Vented Barrel
Heavy Barrel
Fluted Barrel
Accurized Barrel
Match Grade
Super Match
EDIT:
Muzzle Brake
Bull Barrel
(thanks to those who contributed their ideas!)
EDIT:
Free Float Barrel
Trued Action
Bedded Stock
(thanks to BIGmoney8206)
And those are just off the top of my head; open any issue of Guns & Ammo for more suggestions (just turn to the gunsmith's column).
There's no technobabble like accurate technobabble!
Thanks for reading.

EDIT #2: It's March and this topic has been revived from the dead, back on the Trending page. Someone found my Ghost?

Didn't you know? After the Golden Age the gunsmith modified all weapons to work with this. Honestly yeah I have no idea why it's called that. I do wish "silencer" was an option in Destiny though.
