more guns than you can shake a stick at!
When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!
Punt gunning was also practiced on the Venetian lagoon, there they used a type of boat called a Sciopon, a low punt style boat. Some of the guns were huge up to 3" bore. It was banned there in the 1980's.

when i bought the gun from my cousin,he offered me the punt.i declined.i didnt think that me,a huge gun and a little boat on water would be a good combination. heres a photo of a photo of my cousin with the beast mounted and ready for action..https://i.imgur.com/nTEfMHr.jpg
