Some were used as anti-tank guns in the later part of The Great War (WWI)

There is a back country highway south of Salinas CA that has an 8 gauge shotgun hanging on the wall, the gal behind the counter says it prevents trouble, and then I asked her when was the last time she bought ammo for it, because from what I recall the last 8 gauge shells were sold around the 1920’s.

With the right loads and composite materials there could be a resurgence of punt guns to counter drones.

Re the 1st image. Where the heck are they? Looks like DC.

And why did they want to kill all those waterfowl?

To make women's HATS!

Michener’s “Chesapeake” has a good section about punt gun hunting geese on the Bay.

Could there be anything left of the bird? Who would want to buy a bunch of feathers and gore?

My grandfather born circa 1870-1876(No one was sure)told of using similar guns. The gun in question had about a two inch wide barrel and was planted in the ground pointing straight up as no one could put it to the shoulder. When the birds flew over the gun it was fired by a string. If my memory serves me well the gun helped eliminate the passenger pigeon.

I remember seeing a brass 4 ga. shell when I was a kid in Upper Michigan, probably around 1955 or there abouts. 8’s were fairly common.
