What is not a part of a cartridge or a shotgun shell?

  1. Primer

  2. Choke

  3. Powder

  4. Bullet

The correct answer is: Choke

Option A, Primer, is a small metal cup that contains a combustible substance and ignites the propellant when struck by the firing pin. Option C, Powder, is the propellant used to propel the bullet or shot out of the cartridge or shell. Option D, Bullet, is the projectile that is shot out of the cartridge or shell. Option B, Choke, is a tapered constriction at the end of the shotgun barrel that controls the spread of the shot pellets. This is not a part of the cartridge or shell itself, but rather a part of the shotgun itself.
