This gun is no longer legal. I don't object.

[Ken The Kanuck]

Just a correction, Punt guns were used to kill flocks of migratory birds, not raptors. They were called punt guns because they used the punt, (boat) as a platform, somewhat like a cannon mounted on a tank. There was no way in heck that you could ever fire one from the shoulder and not need urgent medical attention after the fact.

Sorry John, you got it all wrong.

Please note that punt guns were used in early CFL games before technology advanced to the point where a football could be kicked high enough to go over the cross bar. Later when the Americans started to play the game they imported the Canadian kicking boots ( with the kickers still inside of them ).

At that time in order to find a use for all these surplus punting guns, many were converted to duck guns.

Feel free to ask me any historical questions whenever you like John, for I am here to serve.
