What happens if a 20 gauge shell is placed in a 12 gauge shotgun?

The shell could lodge in the barrel and cause serious personal injury.
The shell will improve the shotgun's accuracy.
The shotgun will automatically reject the shell.
No significant effect will occur.

The correct answer is: The shell could lodge in the barrel and cause serious personal injury.

Placing a 20 gauge shell in a 12 gauge shotgun can be extremely dangerous as it can result in the shell getting lodged in the barrel, potentially causing harm to the shooter and those in close proximity. This is because the size difference between the 20 gauge shell and the 12 gauge barrel can cause a misfire and create a dangerous situation. Options B and D are incorrect because they suggest that there will be no negative consequences, when in fact, using the wrong sized shell in a shotgun can have serious repercussions. Option C is also incorrect, as shotguns do not have the capability to automatically reject shells.
