    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.

      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.
