Don't tell PETA, but the Punt Gun was really used for Duck Hunting in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The Punt Gun, was used to shoot large amounts of water fowl, primarily ducks, with one pull of the trigger. Now worries, this gun was used for commercial harvesting purposes and not necessarily for sport shooting. Could you image using this guy on your next duck hunting trip? No thanks!
As you can imagine, the use of this enormous shot gun depleted duck populations and was consequently banned.
By now you've got to curious as to what it's like to fire one of these beasts! Check out the video below.
