Does anyone make a laser for a shotgun that projects a circular beam? Looking for something like the attached photos show.

To get enough emitters to make a circle it would probably be a substantial unit, and expensive.
What's wrong with a normal dot? Just thinking out loud, would it be possible to take a normal weapon light and put a dot of paint in the center. It should still illuminate fine, but give you a dim spot where the POA is. The right kind of translucent paint would give you a colored circle to aim at.

The closest to that, might be a holographic sight.

It would actually be VERY easy to make a circular patterned laser sight. It would be like one of those laser pointers that draws a symbol.
The problem is, the spread. Once you run a holographic filter, the circle would get bigger as the range increases....which wouldnt work to well for shooting.

I recall having a cheap laser pointer that had different filters on it to project different patterns. you might look for a filter with the pattern you want. might find a smiley face.

That's probably a good thing, if you want to use the circle to see where the pattern is going to be. The trick is making sure that the laser spreads the same as the shot. You'd need to change filters when you change chokes, too.

Wouldnt a shotgun spread the farther you go? So its like "you could hit in this area" kinda of thing.

TruGlo makes a couple of scopes that have your choice of a green or red circle. These are not lasers but more of a holographic reflection when you look through the lens. The one I have represents a 2' circle at 30 yds. It is mounted on my 870 turkey gun.
