Man! Think of the ducks and geese you could drop with that! I might even be able to hit one!!! Of course, after you pull the trigger you get to go straight to the hospital with a dislocated shoulder.

I actually got to see one of these guns ( not quite that big ) in New Foundland this past fall. One of the guys that went with me purchased the gun from one of the guides. It was in pretty bad shape and he is having it restored (well over 100years old). The guide told us, that back in the late 1800's, early 1900's, duck hunters would load these cannons with pebbles and stick the butt of the gun in the bank of a lake, river, or ocean. When the ducks flew off the lake, they would pull the trigger, sometimes killing as many as 30 ducks with one shot. There was supposedly a huge market for ducks in New Foundland back then.

Was that a 4 gauge or 2 gauge Punt gun? Dunno... but it is BIG..I have both 2 gauge (Punt) and 4 gauge shells in my Cartridge collection. By the shear size of these monsters, I wouldn't even like to be near them when that are fired! |
