Firing the Wrong Caliber

oh this bad animals making my glock Jam another stovepipe hey guys welcome to militia and ranch today I'm going to be putting certain caliber bullets in the wrong caliber handgun this is a Smith & Wesson this is a bodyguard 380 and obviously it's chambered in 380 acp this is a Ruger p89 millimeter and for those of you don't know the 380 acp is the exact same diameter bullet you can see these bullets the same diameter this is the hollow-point but they're both 9 millimeters in diameter the 380 acp case is just a hair shorter they actually call it a 9 millimeter short and since the cartridge diameter is exactly the same it will load into a 9 millimeter pistol so that's what I'm gonna try first I'm gonna put three rounds into this Ruger nine millimeter magazine and I'm gonna have the 380 in the middle so it's gonna go nine millimeter 380 nine millimeter and what I assume will happen is it should the first round should fire just fine and that'll knock sly back and it'll load in the 380 round just fine and then the 380 should fire as well and I don't know if it's gonna have enough power to get the slide to come back and load that 9-millimeter all the way we'll find out once again it goes nine-millimeter 380 acp nine-millimeter all right looks like the 380 is in the chamber it's noticeably quieter let's see if I loaded the next 9 millimeter in did not so 9 millimeter is still in the magazine 380 case was still in the chamber but as you can see it fired fine out of there there's the 380 case fires no problem just doesn't have enough power to get that slide back now I was expecting that one would work that was pretty obvious because they were the exact same diameter one this little less obvious would be putting a nine millimeter in a gun like this this is a 40 caliber Glock about 23 and for those of you don't know this is a 40 Cal this is a 9-millimeter 40 Cal is actually 10 millimeters so it's a millimeter bigger and it does have a little bit bigger case as well here's that Glocks barrel and 40 Cal seats right there let me show you what a 9-millimeter does it will drop it in here will fall straight out the bottom so it goes right through because it's a lot smaller but the extractor will actually hold it in place right in front of the firing pin this one since it is a smaller diameter bullet and this it's not made for this barrel I am I'm sure it would still be fine but I'm gonna fire it from a distance just because there's gonna be a bullet sort of wobbling around in the chamber just so you can kind of see how it doesn't really fit this is a 40 Cal there's no wobble there in the end the barrel and that bullets all the way in this is the nine-millimeter and it will wobble around and you know it has a millimeter of wiggle room in there so I'm gonna hook it down to this table and back off a little rope on the trigger and pull it and we'll see if it cycles a 9-millimeter I'm loading these the same way as hello to the other one with the right rounds on the first and third shot and the wrong round on the middle so it goes 40 Cal 9-millimeter 40 Cal alright I have this gun to the bench I'm going to go ahead and load the first one in the chamber and get back behind cover and see if it works alright looks like it did load another one in the chamber here it goes 9-millimeter obviously quieter let's see there's something in the chamber it's the nine-millimeter shell it's really bulged I hope you can appreciate yeah you totally can how bulged that round is so it did fire I'll go check make sure the barrel is clear I'm sure it is but it did not load the next round in there pretty cool barrels clear it fired that entire bullet all the way out of there that's pretty neat so a 380 will fit into a 9 millimeter which was no surprise and a 9 millimeter it will fit into a 40 Cal which is no surprise either and a Glock extractor in a 40 Cal will hold on to that rim which I thought that was pretty cool and that got me thinking this is a 9 millimeter this is another cartridge which is very similar if not identical to the 9 millimeter on the backside as you can see they are the same size same rim this is a 223 this is the normal round shot out of an ar-15 and the Glock extractor will hold on to this the problem is I can't just load this into a Glock magazine but if you set it in there just right did I can just do this so y'all can see it see how that round is in there I pull it back and I can actually place it right into that extractor and hold it in the barrel so I think this is going to fire now this one this one's one I'm actually worried about because this has a lot more power than a 40 Cal and a 9 millimeter and the bullets lot smaller so it's really gonna be banging around in this barrel I don't really know what's gonna happen I assume that that cartridge I mean I assume that shell is gonna be all exploded when I open it up but we're at demos ranch so we're gonna find out all right so I loaded those two two three rounds in the Glock but I couldn't get any of them to fire they were hitting the primary you can see this primer is dented and I didn't know if maybe just wasn't hitting it hard enough or what but I think what's happening is it's just not hitting in the center enough these are centerfire rifles and maybe they just need to hit directly in the actual primer or directly the center the primer so I put this tape around this case and that'll keep it centered in the barrel what was happening that extractor was sort of holding this thing little cockeyed in the barrel so it wasn't hitting it exactly Center so this thing will hold it it can't move around now and you'll see that this works all right here is the live 2 to 3 round going in the Glock 23 place it right there in front of the firing pin and I'll put the slide on the gun and we'll see what happens all right moment of truth see if this thing works yeah water choking the waste will be able to tell how much power that bullet has all right that thing did fire it obviously was going very slow but it went all the way through that and I just made a little entry hole there and small little exit hole here and obviously an AR if it was shooting that round would have exploded this jug all apart as would a Glock should your normal pistol round so it was just going super slow there was no compression so I'm gonna open up see what that case looks like it was very quiet so I don't think it even burned up all the powder probably just blew most of the powder straight out the barrel thing is stuck in there we'll get something to push that out all right pretty bulged I'm actually impressed and there's some unburned powder in there a little bit not as much as I figured there would be you have to see where the the bolts started it's kind of interesting and it totally pulled all that neck out we got another one just compare for those who don't know exactly what a two to three case looks like but that's what they normally look like so it's a lot wider and the neck is just gone it totally opened that whole thing up here's what it looks like when the two to three is in a gun that is designed to fired up [Music]

Great way to have the gun explode in your face .

What about having adaptors spawn? Break action shotguns have like, .45 acp adaptors to shoot them, pretty sure theres an adaptor for almost any round tbh.

[u/demonit]

Maybe add a 40% chance to not fire (and loose the bullet) and a 10% (or more) chance to ruin the weapon

[u/falloutranger]

Moon clips to fire .380 and 9mm out of a revolver= fuck yes.
