A Big Blast from the Past
As a hunter, you know that a 12 gauge packs a pretty good punch, and for that reason, few hunters have the desire to step up to the larger 10 gauge. But can you imagine what it would be like to shoot a 2 gauge?

Believe it or not, 2 gauge shotguns were once used to kill ducks, but not by the means of modern waterfowlers. Back in the days of market "hunting" for ducks, shooters in a flat-bottomed duck boat (called a punt) would float up to a raft of ducks and then pull the trigger on the 10-foot-long muzzleloading shotgun, which was mounted directly to the boat.

Need proof of a punt gun's effectiveness? Watch the video above to see what a single shotgun blast does to 128 clay targets stacked side-by-side on a vertical board.

Prepare to be amazed.
