This punt gun was capable of discharging over a pound of shot at a time and could kill over 50 birds.
This had a great negative effect on the birds and by the 1860s, it was banned in most states.

Let alone aiming it without help.

if that was on the wall in your hallway, or in the basement pointing slightly upwards,
you could “clear” an entire swat team on your doorstep!
The real Kodak moment would be when the swat team heard the hammer fall just before the giant flash hit the stairway. Surprise,this aint candid camera!
