Just in case you didn't know.....
8 gauge is an elephant gun, 6 gauge is like a giant cannon shotgun.

Anything from 10 down is tuff on the shoulder.I've never seen a 6 gage. Might be ruff on the back.

There used to be a 4 guage... 4 is just about a 1" bore size!
That's twice as much as a .50 calibre rifle! If you weren't 200+ lbs, it would probably throw you back!

Better for what?
It all depends on what you're hunting.

No shit; gauge doesn't tell me anything about the shot size either.
Try hunting rabbit or squirrel or pheasant or a myriad other small game with a bigass gun. Have fun picking up the carnage.

a 2 gauge was a whale gun that was mounted on boats and when shot would move the boat like 25 yards

blankk said to fee: btw you're a total fucking psychedelic pimp Turtletotem said: I want to become a sun worshipper, so next time an atheist smugly asks me where god is, I can point smugly at the sun and laugh my ass off. Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.

At what point do you quit calling it X-gauge and just call the goddamned thing a cannon?

And that's why anything under 4 is considered a cannon. 
I think 4 is the lowest guage you could possibly use shoulder fired, and even that is nuts.
