Actually, the gun is completely safe. Many people have tested and confirmed this.
12 gauge is actually like .54 caliber so most of the expanding gas passes around the projectile without building pressure. The projectile leaves the barrel way slower than normal, but still fast enough to be lethal, and not very accurately.
When the gun and the cartridge match, the diameter of the projectile is slightly larger than the barrel bore. For example, a .357 magnum cartridge is .357 inches, stuffed into what’s ostensibly a .35 caliber gun. Gunpowder isn’t an explosive, it actually burns very slowly. It’s this very small size difference that allows pressure to build and create the chamber pressures advertised on the ammo box.
Of course a shotgun receiver can’t withstand the same pressure as a .50 BMG receiver, but that’s not what I said. I said a .50 BMG cartridge won’t create enough pressure in a 12 gauge receiver to damage it.
But, by all means, don’t take my word for it. There are plenty of videos of other people doing it and explaining it. Watch one of those instead.
Extraction and cycling are a whole other story, I’m not referring to that. 12 gauge shells are rimmed, .50 BMG is rimless, of course it probably won’t cycle in most shotguns.
Oh wow, thank you for explaining how guns work. You’re so smart!
It’s weird that my guns never destroy the brass. Does that mean they don’t work?
And I guess C4 isn’t an explosive either, because it burns slowly?
And I never said anything about the receiver. The chamber is a different part. And the cartridge will absolutely build up pressure before the bullet has time to leave.

It’s not the barrel. The case basically explodes in the chamber. Shotgun chambers aren’t built for that, and the extractor might not get the case out.
Yeah, that’s how firearms work.
