Hi:
I watched a piece on you tube that demonstrated a guy shooting a 12 gage shotgun that had a 20 gage shell placed in the barrel. No damage to gun or shooter. The gun was a Remington 870.
Check it out on You Tube and kindly post your thoughts. Food for thought!
Best to all,
Franchi

My thought is it proved nothing and that we should work mightily to make the world safer from fools.

It proved that it was an accident that it didn't cause an accident.

I have tried to blow up guns for my hunter safety students to see. A Noble pump 12 ga and a cheap sxs Belgian Damascus hammer 12 ga Each gun had a live 20 ga shell dropped in and a 12 ga target load and fired, repeated 3 times with no damage to the guns. Perhaps compressed air blew the 20 ga shell out and it did not fire? I cannot really explain why the barrels did not let go. Jamming some mud into the muzzles of the sxs produced a satisfying result, however, opened up a big flap of barrel/ Guns were tied to a round bale of hay with a long length of baler twine and me hiding behind another big bale.

Mike, were you able to retrieve the 20 shell, whole and unharmed, anywhere in the vicinity?
Were you able to ascertain if the 20 indeed detonated?
Seemd odd.

I apologize for commenting again but wonder what kind of a lesson we're providing by the above examples: nothing happens with 20ga and mud, kerboom? I wouldn't think of cutting my leg with a chainsaw to demonstrate if my first aid kit was any good!

I rolled a '69 Camaro and then crashed throught Guard Rails and hit some Oak Trees and walked away only shaken but unharmed, I wouldn't recommend the pratice.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

I wouldn't think of cutting my leg with a chainsaw to demonstrate if my first aid kit was any good! Would anyone on this forum like to take 100 different 12 ga shotguns drop a 20 ga shell in and then put in a 12 ga shell and pull the trigger? One incident or even two or three incidents statistically tells you nothing . That's one of the reasons I've never agreed with the conclusions of Sherman Bell's damascus vs. fluid steel testing as it was far too limited(sample size wise)in scope to have any real validity Jim
