NO!! Not without having the chamber reamed out by a gunsmith. I have yet to hear of a 3" 16 guage. I would certainly hesitate to use anything that produced higher chamber and barrel pressures than what was considered standard when the gun was made.--Jack
Actually the shotgun uses 16 gauge shells i have the same shotgun
the shotgun takes a 2 3/4 shell
Air soft shotgun shells are the size of 12 gauge shotgun shells.
it is not safe to fire 16 gauge shell in anything but a 16 gauge.No shells will interchange with other gauge guns since a 16 gauge shell would fit in a 12 gauge chamber, I would think you can do this.
It will be marked on the barrel.
The Bay State .410 shotgun fires a .410 gauge shell, the smallest of shotgun shells. The shell itself is around 3 inches in length.
The best shotgun shell for shooting ducks is a 3 to 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge with number 2 shot.
Most 12 gauge shotguns are capable of shooting the 3.5 inch shotgun shell. It fires at around 14,500 PSI.
NO!!! A 12 gauge shotgun takes only 12 gauge shells. A 20 gauge shell would fall into the barrel and get stuck about half way to the muzzle. You would be in for a nasty surprise when you put a 12 gauge shell behind it and pulled the trigger!!!
Should be marked on the barrel
Yes, if you eject it into a roaring fire.
Sounds odd...what exactly is your question? shotgun receivers can be attached to different sized barrels. It is also possible to lower the gauge shell that a gun can handle by having a large gauge barrel fitted with pipes that lower its gauge.
