My late great-uncle used to "flock hunt" back in the day when he was a market gunner (using a 4 bore punt gun), I'll bet he would have loved this thing...

I have no personal experience with them however a passing curiosity for several years. That carriage is a blessing as historically the man who fired them from the shoulder almost certainly would break or separate his shoulder.
a Pennsylvanian who has been accused of clinging to my religion and my guns......Good assessment skills.
The volley gun while intresting isn’t my thing . But a punt guns a different story ! Ever since reading James Michners novel “Cheasapeake” I’ve wanted an English made punt gun .
