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.

Isn't 2" = 200 caliber ! like 0.50 = 50 caliber.
