Thats one crazy shotgun. I was reading up on them a bit. Apparently they used to mount them on small boats and use them to take large groups of ducks sitting on the water in one go. They report taking up to 30 ducks sometimes in one shot but apparently the practice is now banned in a lot of countries. It's certainly banned here in the UK.
More info on them here:

Just found it interesting so I thought I would share
