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.
the shotgun takes a 2 3/4 shell
Air soft shotgun shells are the size of 12 gauge shotgun shells.
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!!!
Yes, if you eject it into a roaring fire.
This is a shotgun with an internal barrel diameter (called the "bore) of approximately .410" which shoots a shell which is about .410" in diameter. It is the only shotgun shell size that uses this convention. A 12 gauge shotgun, for example, does not have a bore of "12". A 20 gauge shotgun has a smaller bore than a 12 gauge and a 10 gauge has a bigger bore than a 12. Gauge size is based on the number of lead balls of the bore diameter which are required to make a pound (16 ounces). 10 balls, 12 balls, or 20 balls.
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.

If your shotgun is a 12 gauge pump, then you have a High Standard Model 200 (Flite King). The standard 12 gauge shell is a 2 3/4 inch shotgun shell. It can be anything from #8 birdshot to a deer slug.
The danger is that the shell will fall forward, blocking the barrel, but allowing a 12 gauge shell to be loaded. If that is fired while the barrel is locked, the gun will likely blow up, destroying gun and injuring the shooter and innocent bystanders.
Yes. The Mossberg 500A1 is a .12 gauge shotgun.
