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.

This video explains that a light indentation on an AR-15 primer after chambering a round is normal due to the free-floating firing pin. While generally safe, a risk of slam fire exists if the firing pin sticks forward due to debris or buildup, though this is rare. Proper maintenance is key to preventing such issues.
