Firing shot shells and crossbow bolts from a .50 cal pneumatic shotgun

In his latest video, TAOFLEDERMAUS demonstrates shooting very cheap crossbow bolts from the Air Venturi Wingshot pneumatic shotgun.

The proper Air Venturi .50 cal Air Bolts cost about $100 for a pack of six. Jeff want’s to know what would happen if he used some bargain-bin aluminum bolts sold for just $20.

The cheaper bolts did require some customization with vinyl tape and cardboard to create a proper bushing and gas seal, but even with those extra materials the total cost is less than $25.

Officer Gregg then tries out the shot shells to see how they compare to an actual shotgun.

See how the experiment turned out in the video below.
