Stand-by for Titanfowl.
spacecowboy, These things would often decimate bird populations. They are not legal to use for hunting anymore.
ME5SENGER_24, And somehow massive fishing nets still allowed.
KingJalopy, 
Plenty of fish in the sea
ChonkyOwlbear, Ducks don’t lay a million eggs on one go.
PugJesus, For the best, but I can't say I'm not morbidly curious as to what the result of one of these monsters would look like. A flurry of feathers and falling bird corpses, I would expect.
Peppycito, Here’s a song about what these guns accomplished.

decimationthen:
In the military of ancient Rome, decimation (from Latin decimatio ‘removal of a tenth’[1]) was a form of military discipline in which every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort.
and now:
The word decimation in English is often used to refer to an extreme reduction in the number of a population or force or an overall sense of destruction and ruin.

Unforeseen, (edited ) That is an absolute cannon.
I could just see it now, BOOM and the boat goes shooting into the lake ass backwards.
shalafi, LOL, I moved my kayak around with a 12-gauge.
Melatonin, Looks deafening
cerement, BOOKS ARE BECKONING, YOU SAY?
thefartographer, THEY SAID “ROOKS THE RECKONING!”
Broken_Monitor, WHAAAAATT???
LongbottomLeaf,
shalafi, I SO hoped it would be that scene.
So, what’s the best war movie of all time and why is it Black Hawk Down?
