DRJ:
10 and 8-bore Paradox guns were intended only for big game such as elephant and rhino, maybe buffalo. How is this a different purpose from a bore-gun?
Go take a look at the H&H catalogue on this site, check the Paradox pages, particularly p32, titled "10-Bore Nitro 'Paradox' Guns: For elephant, rhinoceros, bison, and other kinds of large game".

It is quite as powerful a weapon as most 8-bore rifles...
