When I was a kid living in Maryland I used to love to go down to a
couple of
museums on the Eastern Shore, where they had about a half-dozen of those
"punt guns" that were used to shoot an entire flock of ducks with one
shot.
The bore varied but I remember several of them around 2" (.200 caliber)
or
more, with barrels maybe 12 feet long and a regular, very fat shoulder
stock.

Ed:

Wouldn't a 2" diameter be 2.00 caliber, not .200 caliber?

Yeah, Bob, I got the decimal in the wrong place.
