Does anyone own an 8ga?

High Planes Drifter · January 21, 2006, 11:37 AM

My neighbor showed me a shotgun shell (slug) that interested me. It has Dupont Industrial written on the side, the body was constructed of paper, and was considerably larger than a 10ga. shell. It has 8- Industrial written on the bottom. The shell doesnt appear to be very old as the writing is still very clear. Id say maybe 10yrs or so. He said they used to use them in paper mills to unclog pipes when pulp stops them up. Does anyone here own an 8ga.?

I wasn't trying to play devil's advocate or anything.......

I couldn't imagine the roar of one of those going off without the muffler on it.

Gawd that would just be fun...heck, you could cut trees down...and level ground...and strip mine...and put more craters in the moon...and cause a big wave to hit france by shooting water...and well, I dunno, shoot stuff.

I really want one.

Or two, two would be good...I wouldn't need a third, right?

Do they perhaps make those in a portable, tripod mounted semi-auto variety?

The ultimae anti-kiln buildup weapon!

Those 3 ounce cylinders look like the ultimate in deer slugs.

dougpwoody · January 23, 2006, 01:54 AM

Do you mean that thing the Brits used to attach to a boat and shoot down whole flocks of birds?

That was a little bigger than anything you would want to risk shoulder firing.

Ruger4570 · January 23, 2006, 08:59 AM

I believe it is a called a PUNT gun rather than punK gun.

High Planes Drifter · January 24, 2006, 09:42 AM

I wonder how many foot-pounds-energy that 3oz. slug has at the muzle.? I didnt see it on the Master Blaster site.

roy reali · January 24, 2006, 10:28 AM

It would work on punks though!

But....

A double barreled version letting both barrels go at the same time would work REALLY GOOOOOOOD !

i knew a guy who had a bolt action 8ga. i was a little to young to shoot it (like 8 or 10 yrs old) but i do remember him, my dad and a few others shooting skeet with it. damn that thing was a beast.

jcims · January 24, 2006, 01:37 PM

You mean like this?

High Planes Drifter · January 24, 2006, 03:48 PM

GOOD LORD.
That thing is HUGE !
Is that real, or just for exhibition?

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the last "Lonesome Dove" movie, the one with James Garner, one of the characters had an 8 gauge side by side. So I think that such a beast does exist, or did at one time. Good movies by the way.
