70 caliber! What the hell is that?

Could be a 12 ga. shotgun.

.75 "caliber". I've never fired a 12 gauge with a slug or ball. That
might be "fun".

More like .72". Slug loads are usually fairly heavy loads -
about like a heavy load of bird shot. They have a decent
amount of recoil, but not enough to tighten your fillings...

That's nearly 18 mm. It would kick you
into the middle of next week to fire it. That's just a cannon with a stock!
I shoot a 12 ga. often. So far - no time travel.

There is no educational value in the second time you get kicked by a
mule. Or don't hold a shotgun tight to your shoulder.

Doesn't everyone know better than that?
