I think that gun shoots about a 4 ounce payload with 5 drams of black powder -  I don't know what end of that gun hurts more

That gun I think is a modern reproduction of a vintage 4 bore/gauge

8 and 4 bores saw widespread use during turn of the century market gunning for waterfowl , canvasback ducks would fetch upwards of $5 a piece for  , it was popular here in the states and punt guns were common in England - guns like the one pictured really put a hurting on waterfowl populations , regulations were drafted around the timeframe of the migratory waterfowl bird act to outlaw them -

   

Some skull/ punt boats ( low sneak boats) often times had several mounted to the deck in a semi fan arrangement ,this was called a " battery'"  many methods were deployed like drifting or stalking into a raft of ducks and shooting at the raft and trying to kill as many as possible , I would say they were getting as close as possible to kill as many as possible , and they shot geese, ducks and swans in this manner

If you know how to skull a sneak boat well you can get as close as 20 yards , a skull boat is low like a layout , but has a special oar out the back that is rowed in a semi figure 8 , they are very stealthy - I happen to know one person very well that was open water skull hunting diver ducks and  he got so close and timed the shot so well with a browning A5 he killed 36 diver ducks with one shot --this was done in another country were there were no bag limits , and there literally hundreds of thousands of them - it's a situation like Argentina dove hunting

I have a few 8 bore Winchester rounds in my safe , I don't need them and was thinking of giving them away , they are slag rounds used to break molten iron from the insides of furnaces - neat shells

But anyways large bore guns like that were the hammer of doom for waterfowl a hundred years ago , they could kill at long ranges , and they could kill many many ducks with just one shot -

You beat me to it. I new a guy who had a 4ga and it was designed to be mounted to a duck boat.
He told me that they would take the whole flock with it.

Anyway that guy was looking for his fillings after that shot.
