Some of you may have heard me mention that my great-grandfather had a punt-gun - a double-barreled four-gage muzzle-loading shotgun, intended for shooting flocks of ducks on the water.

I never saw it shot.

I just googled "punt gun, and discovered that four gauge was relatively small for these - that they commonly ran as high as .57 gauge - or 1-3/4 pounders.

And Tom Knapp has some video:
