This has gotta be the world's largest shotshell
Thanks to TAOFLEDERMAUS, you can see this improvised giant shotshell hurl inflatable balls high into the air. This video displays an impressive super shotshell.
All of the regular shotgun shell components are there that are usually needed, though significantly larger. The bucket is the shell, Tannerite is the propellant, and then the wadding and the projectiles are inflatable balls, in this case. With a mighty explosion triggered by an accurate shot with an SKS rifle, the balls sail high into the sky. See it here.
Jim Kirk did it with bamboo.
More like a directional bomb.
Punt Guns used shot shells, and unless i’m wrong any tank or field gun had at some form anti personnel rounds that used bearings, chains or flechettes.
My Grandfather was alive when the Passenger Pigeon blotted out the sun. Some would hunt them by burying a three inch shotgun barrel into the ground then firing it when the flocks of Pigeons passed overhead. The shot would bring down many birds at one time. Such guns probably helped bring about the extinction of the breed.
Yes, but hard to conceal under your jacket. Maybe skip the soccer ball.
My Grandfather did the same thing hunting for passenger pigeons and ducks in Indian Territory.
Punt guns.
Many people near and dear to me were born in the 1860’s and 1870’s.
Punt guns were generally muzzleloaders.
