Videos tagged with Break-Barrel Shotgun

This video explores the feasibility of firing a .50 BMG round from a shotgun. Initial attempts with a semi-automatic shotgun failed due to the round's dimensions. A break-barrel shotgun allowed chambering, but the firearm lacked the necessary force to ignite the .50 BMG primer, resulting in light strikes and no discharge. The experiment highlights limitations in firearm action and ammunition compatibility.
