how far could i shoot a fox with that ,and what size shot do i need :rolleyes::good::huh:???

 

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!!!!!!
