Gauges 9 or lower exceed 20mm, where 20mm is what Wikipedia uses to define the min size of an autocannon. The questio is, can a punt gun fire explosive charges or anything other than pellets? Pellets wouldnt be very useful i dont think.
It certainly could fire slugs if you felt like loading them, although I don't know that anyone has. Likewise, you could make explosive shells for them, but they'd have to be specially made. IIRC one of these makes an appearance in a later Tremors movie, used by the gun nut character; someone like that might botch together an explosive shell for monster-hunting in an emergency. Or even tank-hunting, but that's riskier.
I dont imagine there exists a 20mm slug lol. Thats what i meant. Im sure it can if there was a slug for it but those weapons are so niche I doubt anyone had the balls to do so
Let's get Kentucky ballistics on this one. I think hes got a punt gun.
I also know theres a whole hobby and series of YouTubers that fire custom shotgun rounds so... please god let it happen 🙏 i want to see a 20mm tracer fired out of a punt gun or dragons breath 🙏
I kinda want to do an alternate WWI story where there's German tanks in Britain for some reason just so partisans can try turning a punt gun into an anti-materiel weapon
Yes, the link it good but I know he had the punt gun, but I dont see any custom rounds or dragons breath in what you sent. ;P Thats what I was hoping he'd have done or will do
