Punt gun. Used by duck and geese hunters to knock down a whole bunch with one shot.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

10mm rifle. Not used for anything, too much meat damage.

The first two responders got it right - a punt gun. It was used from a horizontal position in a punt (small flat-bottomed boat) to shoot at flocks of ducks/geese swimming on the water.

Adios,

A hardware store in Northern Michigan had a 2 bore punt gun hanging on the wall until it went out of business.

Apparently that's a duck gun - even if you're behind it when it goes off, you better duck!

Agreed. I came across some info years ago about those guns. Not sure anyone fired them from the shoulder (more than once) but they were very efficient in bringing down lots of birds.
