What is elephant gun 8 gauge shotgun?

An elephant gun is a large caliber firearm specifically designed for hunting large game, such as elephants and rhinoceroses. The 8 gauge shotgun is one of the largest shotgun calibers available and is considered a "cannon" in the firearms world. It typically fires a massive 2-ounce slug or shot at a velocity of around 1,200 feet per second. These guns can weigh up to 20 pounds and are often double-barreled or single-shot. Due to their size and power, they require a high level of skill, strength, and experience to handle safely and effectively. They are typically used by big game hunters in Africa and India, as well as for hunting large predators such as grizzly bears in North America. However, due to their size and power, they are not recommended for use by most hunters and gun enthusiasts.
