I was at a local shop a few weeks ago to get an appraisal on a coin I had just bought at an auction (the store sells both guns and coins). While there, someone else had brought in a shotgun that had a barrel on it that was 10 feet long. You read that right!
The stock and general design of it looked old. It appeared to be a single shot and had an exposed hammer like a revolver has. I didn't have time to ask much about it since I was there for other business and had to leave in a hurry so I couldn't get any info on it. Googling it hasn't gotten me anywhere either, so now I'm left with asking here.
Has anyone ever heard of such a shotgun? What would something like this be used for. Most importantly, HOW could it be used? I can't imagine being able to use it unless it was mounted to something.
