    250lb punt gun

    FYI a Punt was a type of boat. These guns were mounted on the boat for firing, not the shoulder.

    Its always important to aim a punt gun correctly, you dont want to hit one of the other planets.

    In the 1920s ducks were the size of horses.

    Those things could wipe out an entire flock with a few shots!

    Edit: fire one shot from a small gun to get them airbourne then blast the flock with the Punt.

    I understand that is what they were supposed to do. A wide spread of pellets to take down as many as possible in a flock sitting on the water.
    It would probably move the boat back a metre or two as well! I wouldn't fancy being on either end of one of them.

    1 shot.
    Good luck getting the flock to hang around while you muzzle reload :)
    Although they used to have 'fleets' of punts, so 'shots' were possible.

    Yeah, that's what I meant, several Punts aimed at the flock.

    It would move the boat a little bit, but inches not
    metres. The boat and gun are far heavier that the shot, plus drag from the water opposes the sudden movement.

    It was traditional in Wexford harbour for many years. The making of the shot is a craft in itself.
    The boat would definitely move backwards with the recoil.
    The elderly man that I spoke to stated that the most he ever got was 14 with a single shot. (Flocks could be dozens to hundreds).
    Families were fed with the ducks or some sold to butchers and funds used to feed/clothe families. Different times.

    In the US, they were the gun of choice when it came to shooting passenger pigeons. The birds went from the most common to extinct in about a century.

    My uncle still has one on his mantle he got from an old english landowner. His style of using it was to rest it against an incline over a landing pond. He never had any cartridges for it but it was made in birr as far as i know.

    L. Ron Hubbard said, "You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion," at a meeting of the Eastern Science Fiction Association in November 1948.

    L. Ron Hubbard invents Scientology in 1950 with the publication of his book 'Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health'.

    Just sayin'.

    You'd want to have a good labelling system though. Playing guess the plug behind a TV or desk is hard enough on a 6-port one :)
