I'd guess an 8 gauge shotgun.

I had the experience of firing one with 3.5 ounce slugs. It was coooool!!

Yes, if you have shells.

The shells we had were modified kiln gun hulls. Reloaded with black and slugs. Fired in a Damascus steel SxS. I can`t recall the make.

Both Remington and Winchester make 8 gauge industrial shot shells, for use in removing built up scale in boilers, etc. These rounds have a step built into the brass to prevent their accidental use in normal firearms. However, the step can be removed and the hulls reloaded using felt wads and a roll crimp. There was once a big thread on the doublegun BBS on how this is done, apparently there are a few people who do this successfully.
