Shooting at shotgun shells 🤔

This video tests whether direct primer hits on bundled shotgun shells will cause them to explode. While some shells ignited and expelled shot, none detonated catastrophically. The experiment suggests that shotgun shells are unlikely to explode dangerously even when directly impacted, making them relatively safe to carry on gear.

Quick Summary

Direct primer hits on shotgun shells can cause them to ignite and expel shot, but they do not explode catastrophically. The shells lack the necessary internal pressure for a dangerous detonation, suggesting they are relatively safe to carry on gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when shotgun shells are directly hit by a firearm?

When shotgun shells are directly hit by a firearm, particularly on the primer, they can ignite. This typically causes the shot and powder to expel, but the shells do not explode catastrophically due to insufficient internal pressure.

Are shotgun shells safe to carry on gear?

Based on testing where shells were directly impacted, they tend to ignite and expel their contents rather than explode dangerously. This suggests they are relatively safe to carry on gear, as they primarily fall apart upon ignition.

Can a shotgun shell explode from a primer strike?

While a primer strike can cause a shotgun shell to ignite and expel its contents, it does not typically cause a dangerous explosion. The internal pressure is not sufficient for a catastrophic detonation, leading to a less violent reaction.
