starlight32 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) how far could i shoot a fox with that ,and what size shot do i need Looks like a mid western design, circa 1860's. Most of the American punt gun's were very crude in manufacture and often boiler/steam pipe was used from steam locomotive's. Effective operational range of 80 yrds using lead- However still lethal to fowl at 100...... By the 1930's many punt guns in the uk were converted to screw breech loaders of 1 1/2" bore (40mm) using a brass 40mm cannon shell as a case with tarred oakam as wad and a 0.38 pistol blank as a primer. Biggest I have ever seen is a 32 oz gun from Europe dating from the 1880's. Basically imagine 32 shotgun gun cartridges going of together!!!!!!! Expensive toys these days to use with non-toxic- Tungsten being the only suitable shot of choice, and at 1.20 an oz that roughly with your powder works out to 50 quid a shot!!!!!!

Alex1234 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 this might help to, would certainly sort out the foxes- I notice they don't mention cleaning it, I bet thats a bit of a mission! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
