Perhaps the other question there is why is 12g top of the pile?
I have both. A 12g semi and a 16g single-shot. They were my grandfather's and are also the reason I initially went through the firearms licensing process. Sadly, they're also the guns I shoot least.
I hope to change that.
Anyway, when I compare the guns, the 12g is certainly impressive, but then I look at the 16g and think "that still packs a heck of a punch!" A slug about 2/3 of an inch across with about 2000ft/lbs.
Like for like, guns will be a tad lighter as will cartridges, so why are they not more popular? I rarely see any posts about them.
