Very silly. Inspiration for your next air cannon is it?

It's called a punt gun because thats exactly what it was fired from.

Back in its day wildfowl hunters would go out in a boat (or a flat bottomed punt) with one of those mounted on the bow, they'd lie down in the boat to fire it at groups of wildfowl on the water.

Well the guys who used to use it were serious hunters, usually doing it for a living and it was very effective for killing large groups of wildfowl.

I believe it's loaded with about 500 lead balls for taking out lots of ducks or other birds. Kind of ruins the point does'nt it?

Haha... I got a good laugh out of that.

This gun though, it's just insane! You could take a small plane down with that thing.
