What is different use of .12 and .20 gauge shotguns?
12 ga. has a far more diversified variety of shells (loads) than 20 ga. If you don't want to reload, there are many shell types to choose from. Bigger, hotter, faster 12 ga. loads are best for bigger, tougher or faster birds such as ducks, geese and turkeys. 12 is necessary with buckshot or slugs for deer in some places. 20 ga. is better for smaller birds such as pheasant, grouse, woodcock and snipe. 20 is OK with slugs for deer. Both are used in shooting games like trap, skeet and sporting clays and I use both. 1 ounce of shot pellets is exactly the same quantity from either size shotgun. The gauge refers to the barrel diameters where that is the number of lead balls, fitting into the barrel, which weigh 1 pound (16 ounces).

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!!!

Can you put 16 gauge shotgun shells in a 12-16 gauge pump shotgun?
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.
If a 20 gauge shell is placed in a 12 gauge shotgun what is the danger?
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.
What is the difference in a 12 gauge and 16 gauge shotgun?
The 16-gauge (Note how it's spelled) shotgun shell will hold slightly fewer pellets (small BBs). It will have slightly less recoil, but the difference will be so small that you might not notice it. Some 16 gauge shotguns are built lighter and smaller than the 12-gauge versions, but that is not always true. And you should know that today 16 gauge ammunition is less common than either 12 or 20 gauge. 30 or 50 years ago, 16 gauge was very popular but now it is getting rare.
