Yeah, thatâs how firearms work.
When the gun and the cartridge match, the diameter of the projectile is slightly larger than the barrel bore. For example, a .357 magnum cartridge is .357 inches, stuffed into whatâs ostensibly a .35 caliber gun. Gunpowder isnât an explosive, it actually burns very slowly. Itâs this very small size difference that allows pressure to build and create the chamber pressures advertised on the ammo box.
Of course a shotgun receiver canât withstand the same pressure as a .50 BMG receiver, but thatâs not what I said. I said a .50 BMG cartridge wonât create enough pressure in a 12 gauge receiver to damage it.
But, by all means, donât take my word for it. There are plenty of videos of other people doing it and explaining it. Watch one of those instead.

Oh wow, thank you for explaining how guns work. Youâre so smart!
Itâs weird that my guns never destroy the brass. Does that mean they donât work?
And I guess C4 isnât an explosive either, because it burns slowly?
And I never said anything about the receiver. The chamber is a different part. And the cartridge will absolutely build up pressure before the bullet has time to leave.
Is your firearm knowledge just based on YouTube?
