Well, they were using a light variety of birdshot, I'd guess. Still, I am surprised. And besides, it's not Cheney's fault for 'poor' aim, he got him in the face, after all.

It's only illegal in the US if you shorten it past a minimum standard. And you don't have to change barrel length to change spread pattern.
