What would happen if someone shot a gun while sword was in the barrel?

It could either push the sword out of the barrel, or cause the bullet to deform to the point where it created a barrel blockage. There is a possibility that it could cause the barrel to burst, but it's much less common than some people are led to believe, as the steel used in the barrels is much stronger than people tend to realise.


Will using a smaller bullet damage your barrel?

Yes, it could. If the bullet doesn't fit the bore properly, it could bounce around, which could result in damage to the barrel, as well as the projectile getting stuck in the barrel. On top of that, the cartridge won't achieve proper headspace in the chamber. This could result in a catastrophic failure of the firearm, which in turn could result in injury or death to the firer. NEVER use ammunition in a firearm other than what it's intended to use.
