Fire a .22 shell from a 12 gauge adapter

Ever wonder if those adapters that let you shoot a smaller piece of ammo in your shotgun work? I managed to hit two aluminum cans...

Haha a second shooter on a grassy knoll. No, that's sloppy camera work, the lens cap is on a string and it swings back and forth every time there's movement.

[frankofthenorth]

It's got internal mechanisms, so after you shoot, when you let up on the trigger the other side is ready. Self cocking, basically. The bare feet are for that authentic double-barrel shotgun totin' woodsy image.

[frankofthenorth]

Yes, they are steel, and the same dimensions as a 3" shotshell. They are designed for use in a break open action like a double or single barrel, and since they are heavy they might put extra strain on a pump gun's loading and ejection systems, especially if its got a skeletonized lifter out of the magazine. Maybe if you hand feed it?

Might not kick much but I just hope the big ol' 44 slug would sail true for the length of the barrel and not touch the sides...

@kien190 I think substituting a .22 shell for a shotgun primer sounds like it wouldn't work regularly. As you can see, the .22 adapter is offset, so the firing pin can strike the rim of the rimfire .22 shell. The sleeve has a bit more barrel to it than it appears. Basically it seems like shooting a 3inch .22 handgun inside of a tube... sounds really wierd in person too!

If you want us to believe in your videos, don't edit or cut them.

I've seen these adapters before once but for a 30-30 round. How accurate is this for a .22? After all a rifle barrel has a spiral twist and is gauged to the size of the bullet. The barrel of the shotgun must be short enough so the .22 bullet doesn't bounce off the inside of the barrel?

@frankofthenorth Does the large outer bore quiet the shot any? Or does it make it louder?

[yaoeddieyaoeddie]

Very cool .. I'm hoping they end up making the longer 9 inch version in 20 ga.  I'll enjoy a few of these ! Wish I had one , when I was a kid ! Versatile !
