Re: The Big Momma!
Some artillery piece? Could be a punt gun, only the loops are missing. Whatever it is, I would also like to see the guy firing it and HOW?
Ahh! I got it, its a sawn off shotgun!

Re: The Big Momma!
Can't wait to hear about your latest adventure, Vikram! I would love to have a punt gun, myself. When in Montana, I noticed something similar: an 8 gauge shotgun like device that was used to blast up a factory chimney to clear out the deposits on the chimney walls. The shell looked like a huge 10 gauge.

Looks like a goose gun, 12 Gauge for 3.5" magnum shells. I have a friend who owns a similar piece.

Re: The Big Momma!
Sawbones,
Punt guns are generally huge bored guns with relatively short stubby barrels to spread a big quantity of shots in order to kill dozens of birds in one shot. Most were black powder muzzle loaders and a few later on went smokeless as well.
This one seems to be special order kink of a certain Redneck or an English market hunter to me. The smith must have smirked all the time while making it for him.

The wheels and the lanyard are missing!!
"With solid bullets on heavy animals such as elephant, rhino and buffalo this power is quite apparent but is not so obvious as when soft-nose bullets are being used, say, lion, particularly when is a case of stopping a charge : the .404 will stop him all right, but will seldom crumple him quite so completely as will the .416" -- John Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, (Ch. IX)
