The Paradox/Explora/Fauneta etc concept was superbly effective in India's thick jungles and these guns were used to take all of India's game during the Raj years. Even sellers of bread and butter guns like Harrington and Richardson made cheap break open hammer single shots in 12 bore for many years after India became independent for the Indian market with partially rifled barrels, though these were typically 28 or 30", not short barrels.

These days these guns are used to take some of the game that is still permitted in some states in India - wild boar and nilgai on crop protection permits. The hunting of predators is no longer allowed because of their severely depleted numbers.
