makes you wonder wich one had the rabbits foot in their pocket
i used to target at a range where they rolled tires as moving targets, bouncing off random rocks and such it was rare that anybody hit the tires with consistency... would love to see someone swing an 8ga fast enugh to hit a fast moving rabbit through the brush, and then hit it with a slug.

he didnt mention if it was running, but this teacher is the strictest, most honest teacher in my school so i think i believe him and im going to guess it wasnt running.

The do make 8 ga slugs as I have a few of them, today they are used for industrial purposes. Contrary to popular belief a 2 oz 8 ga slug would simply put a hole in a rabbit, not blow emto "smitherines"
These big slugs just dont have the velocity to make them explosive like a a deer or varmint caliber.

you better reread what you wrote ,you said came running along.

Wow, that's a good one![8D]

Actually he did say it was running!!

8 gauge slug gun sounds heavy and hard to carry, and would not want to shoot one

the only 8 guage slug " gun " iv'e seen was the one they use to knock the lime scale off the inside of the kiln at our local cement plant. they bolt it to the floor and fire 2 or 3 oz solid copper slugs at the scale to break it loose for cleaning the kiln walls. i used to have a couple empty shells, good conversation peices!

I know in NY they aren't legal to hunt with.

This thread has become pretty crazy. Those old guns were called punt guns that were mounted on boats. The only use for these guns now is industrial.
