The largest I've ever fired is 12 Gauge. I've seen 10 Gauge shels in person and after seeing this big dude fire them, I think I'll pass on any future offer to try them out.

Excuse my ignorance: 12 gauge is smaller than 10 gauge? Can anybody clarify how this system works?
The higher the number, the smaller the shell. I believe it had to do with the weight of a lead ball measured in the imperial system ie. 10 gauge = 1/10th of a lb, 12 = 1/12lb. One of the exceptions is the .410 "gauge" which is essentially the smallest and is measured by bullet diameter instead of weight like a shotshell and is about the same size as a .45 Colt and can be interchanged in some firearms like the Taurus Judge or Smith & Wesson Govenor revolvers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_shell has a reference chart. 10 is the largest. 12 gauge is by far the most common, probably followed by 20 gauge for smaller game. 16 gauge is more of a European thing now, not too many 16 gauges in North America anyway.
