How does one pull the trigger with that grip?

It's called a Punt Gun, you mount it on a small boat (a punt) for hunting waterfowl.

The biggest ones had 2+ inch bores and fired over a pound of shot per trigger pull. A single shot could kill over 50 birds if they're grouped up on the water. They'd often hunt in groups, up to 10 punts at a time.

Bird populations were getting depleted so they pretty much stopped doing this by the early 1900's.

Sounds like you're not clued in to the wondrously magical pigeon eradicating invention 'half a can of tuna with half a cup of rat poison mixed in'. Dump half the tuna out, fill with rat poison, mix it up good, put it in the rafters or wherever the fuckers are roosting, and replace as needed for a couple days and voila! Inside 2 weeks tops, no more pigeons! Added bonus, they go someplace else to die.

Interesting. I'm more of a peregrinen falcon person myself. My mom was in the hospital in St Louis years back up in the top floors. I could watch them all day exploding pigeons in mid air with binoculars.
