Actually, I found the recoil not to be to bad. 27 pounds of gun did its job. The difficulty for me is just holding the gun up to fire it.
That 4 sounds intresting to say the least !

At some point I wouldn't mind get my hands on "an original" Punt gun . Been wanting one of those ever since I read James Michners novel Cheasapeake 10 or 15 years ago. Be kinda neat to get and old bronze barreled english made punt gun if such a thing actually existed !
