Most impressive shotgun with over a 1 inch bore.
I built a 1 inch bore cannon weighing 60 pounds and with 450 g of BP it recoils over 2 feet.
I would not want to be behind this shotgun, could kill at both ends!

Will,

please watch "Mae and The Wall Gun" on Youtube. I saw the video with an open mouth, she is incredible brave.

Prof. Othais WW1 gun reviews on the same channel are absolutely brilliant!
