I did many years ago. I doubt you find one anymore. The recoil will knock you on your ass.
I think you can still get 8ga and even 4ga shotguns.
That Russian gun you posted is 23mm, approximating an American 6 gauge. -- Don't know of any larger manufacturers of 8 or 4 gauge guns... Any decent machine shop could make one...
From wiki: --- Shotguns and shells exceeding 10 gauge, such as the 8 (.835) and 4 gauge, (1.03) are rather rarely manufactured and only a few makers of the otherwise large market of shotgun, rifle and ammo makers across the United States still produce them. Shells are usually black powder paper cartridges as opposed to the plastic or wax cartridge and smokeless powder of today.
