Definitely not an upland gun but probably a covey killer if you could ever get gun up to shoulder in time for the flush.
A gun that heavy almost needs shooting sticks. Nothing dainty about that firearm. I don't know much about the history of that gauge but it can't be designed for flushing game. I'll bet it would work wonders on ducks or geese coming into a decoy set.
