I have one ported gun, and that is the first Beretta that I bought which is an older model 682 Super Trap. I never thought much about the report of a ported gun until I had the pleasure of shooting with a guy shooting a ported Browning o/u with hot loads running through it. I thought the guy was shooting a canon when he pulled the trigger the first time and I was wincing every time he pulled the trigger after that. On top of it all, I was wearing ear plugs.

If a ported hunting gun doesn't connect on target with pellets, the porting blast should be enough to disorient the bird somewhat.
