Punt guns... The biggest and the best.

Also there's a conversion guide near the bottom of this page.

That's just crazy

Doesn't look very practical, but it could be fun once.

Track of the Wolf has this antique flintlock 4 bore blunderbuss swivel gun.

Thanks for the picture. This is THE ONLY THING I WANT NOW.

Six thousand bucks (plus importing)… don't know how I'm going to justify that to the Accounting Department.

Say, who makes a 4" blunderbuss screw-in trumpet for the RemChoke system?

I once corrected TOW for this one regarding importation exclusion. They thanked me and corrected thier webpage. They also thought I was to be a serious potential customer.
The invoice they sent via email for this one, came to about $7,200 all in.

wow.....really nice gun with a somewhat big (for my budget) sticker shock

all I know if it were legal id be hunting waterfowl with a 8 bore double.

Were does it say you cant?

In BC it just says no punt cannons. The kind you mount to a boat or stick into the ground. That 8 bore isn't a punt cannon.

In Canada the laws concerning hunting wildfowl state:

A permitted shotgun cannot be larger than a .10 gauge and the capacity of the firearm must be modified so that the maximum number of shells it is capable of holding does not exceed three (3) in the magazine and chamber combined.

I believe that is the law in most if not all of North America... It is why a few 10 gauge shotguns are manufactured and nothing larger today...

haha49 did not quote that right that's part of one of my comments

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 between the United States and Great Britain. (acting on the behalf of Canada)

I notice the UK still allows gauges larger than 10 for it's own waterfowling though.

I tried to get a special permit to use my Greener 4 bore with no luck, with limits it should make any difference what you use but so far I have not found anybody to agree

^It's rather ridiculous that specialized tools like your 4 bore cannot be utilized for what it was designed for. As a waterfowler who gave up when steel shot became mandatory in Canada, I can attest to the high numbers of hunters who threw in the towel at that time.

Now I suspect diseases amongst ducks and geese is thier primary killer.
We have city parks now polluted with goose droppings and arctic tundra grasses being devastated by waterfowl. How much destruction has to go on before conservation groups such as D.U. notices an ongoing trend and gives voice to it???

This lopsided population growth is the perfect labratory for dangerous diseases to humans such as the avian flu virus.

I put forth that the ban on lead shot has, in the long run in Canada, been more destructive than helpful to living organisms in our environment.
