CANNONS DID YA SAY CANNONS.. The 8 ga I saw was for sticking in the ground like a mortar and blasting ducks out of the sky ....fer back in the day when ducks were hunted commerically ....not much use for one now with the small limits imposed . I`ve hunted ducks with a 10 ga ...it was kinda fun ,I would wait untill the ducks got out of range for the others ...and then I would drop my ducks ..lol
We have a DB 4 bore by Bonehill.We use it for goose shooting.The range is about 60yds at wild geese.I once shot 4 widgeon (ducks) in flight with one barrel.I have to lie on my back to raise the gun,very heavy and hard to swing.
We also have a couple of 8 bores and two 10 bores.
The biggest shotguns I ever saw were English and they called them punt guns. They were huge double barreled shotguns swivel mounted on small rowboats (punt) and were used for commercial duck hunting. If I remember right they were 2 and 4 gauge.
