| There is the 10 gauge which is still used today in the US for some hunting. Most folks use it to hunt Geese. But now that is becoming a thing of the past. A 10 gauge shotgun weighs a ton and kicks like a mule. But there are now a couple of companyies making a 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge. It's the same power as a ten without all that weight. I have a Benelli Nova and it's great. It'll knock ducks out of the sky as if they were right in front of me. To my knowledge the largest gauge was a 4 gauge shotgun. Or what was called a punt gun. It was used to harvest large amounts of ducks in one shot. And the thing was mounted on a boat. It wasn't a shoulder fired gun. THe 10 gauge is about the largest legal gauge you can use to hunt in the Great State of Florida.
