improvised ammuniton

Pardon me but i dont kno where this subject would be best fitted.
But the idea is taking a batter (AA, AAA, Camera batteries) and using it as a projectile.
best suited for shotgun rounds

That would be a reloading issue I would think but that sort of thing is likely to send you to a gunsmith to get the gun repaired after a trip to the hospital.. Using things other than what the reloading manual lists in a reload is quite dangerous to you and the gun.. Moreover Why??? Lead projectiles are much more efficient and much safer. Still this is a subject for the reloading thread...

Saw a recent episode of "Sons of Guns" where they shot an arrow out of a .410.  I would imagine that you could shoot most anything out of a shotgun.  But that sort of experimenting is probably dangerous.  You'd need a proper facility and remote trigger mechanism.

With my luck it would smear battery acid down the bore of my shotgun. Doesnt seem like a good idea to me. Probably breaks some kind of enviromental laws too.
