Must be what Hitler based his rail guns on in WWII ! I guess Roy Scheider put it best with, "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat!"....

If he happened to pull the trigger I would rather be the guy holding the barrels. Thomas:)

Rio ammo uses a doctored version of that picture (replaced the building with a marsh) in their ads for their "Bluesteel" non-tox shells

with a caption saying

"Yeah, it's something like that

More than a few men were drowned/killed by those punt guns. According to my readings, the guns generally held together, but the mounting of the gun in the boat was an inexact science at best. Recoil would blow out the transom, or, if the gunner attempted to secure the gun with lines tied to the gunwales, could collapse the sides. Not a game for the faint of heart

Why would the barrel need to be that long?
