These would have been used in a class setting to allow the instructor to point out features to even the people in the back of the room.

    If real they kickback would blow your kids kids shoulder out.

    Of course that doesn’t mean that no one would make such a device.

      Now imagine it fires full-auto in whatever caliber the Kaiju-BAR would shoot.

      I love how there’s no proper shoulder stock for this. Like, you’re firing it and just not giving a fuck about anything in a 5m radius cos there’s a good chance if it’s in that, it’s getting hit…

        Silly as those punt guns look, they were massively effective. They were usually meant to be fired from some kind of mount. They went out of use more from laws banning them than from a lack of effect. Wikipedia overview.
