This video explores the compatibility of a 50 BMG cartridge with a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment reveals that while the cartridge fits, the flare gun's mechanism cannot ignite the tough 50 BMG primers. However, it successfully fires a standard 12 gauge blank, highlighting the difference in primer hardness. The content is presented from a hobbyist perspective, focusing on experimental curiosity rather than professional instruction.

Quick Summary

A 50 BMG cartridge can physically fit into a 12 gauge flare gun, but it typically won't fire due to the significantly tougher primers used in 50 BMG ammunition. The flare gun's firing pin lacks the necessary force to reliably detonate these hardened primers, although it can still fire standard 12 gauge blanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a 50 BMG cartridge fit into a 12 gauge flare gun?

Surprisingly, a 50 BMG cartridge can physically fit into a 12 gauge flare gun. However, fitting does not equate to functionality, as demonstrated by the inability to ignite the primer.

Why won't a 50 BMG cartridge fire in a 12 gauge flare gun?

The primary reason a 50 BMG cartridge won't fire in a 12 gauge flare gun is the significantly tougher primer used in 50 BMG ammunition. The flare gun's firing pin lacks the force to reliably detonate these hardened primers.

What is the difference between a 50 BMG primer and a 12 gauge blank primer?

50 BMG primers are designed to withstand higher pressures and are considerably harder than standard 12 gauge blank primers. This increased hardness is necessary for the powerful 50 BMG round but prevents ignition by less robust firing mechanisms like those in a flare gun.

Is it safe to test 50 BMG cartridges in a 12 gauge flare gun?

Testing 50 BMG cartridges in a 12 gauge flare gun is highly experimental and not recommended. It carries risks of firearm damage and unpredictable behavior. Always prioritize safety and follow established firearm handling protocols.
