Ok fair enough not harmless but anyone stupid enough to do something like that is just as likely to blow themselves up with an aerosol or something equally stupid.
btw I said relatively harmless not harmless

I`d be so tempted to put one in a vice and nail the cap lol but on a serious note i`d get rid safely to remove the oops factor

Darwin was right

You could make a pipe rifle (aka a zip gun) or something but you SHOULD NOT DO THIS AS IT IS ILLEGAL and you'd get done for having a gun.

Or you could go out and get a proper shotgun licence and have a shotgun so when the zombies/terrorists/BNP come you can blast them.

difficult to qualify really,

the law states you need a license to Buy the ammunition and it should be stored in a safe place.

Logic therefore dictates you should really only hold the ammunition if you have a license to buy it.
If mr plod were to find out they would ask why you have them, what your need is for them etc etc without satisfactory answers you could find yourself with a firearms charge I believe.

It would be best to find someone with a shotgun certificate and hand them over, as they have a license to buy and subsequently own the cartridges.


and ffs do not put them in a vice, it will explode sideways.

Reeder, just hand them in at your local Police Station and all will be well with the world.

Are you sure the weapon isn't buried in the back garden or hidden underneath the floor boards?

Along with some rather large black bags tied up with duct tape?

My dad does drive a big mercedes with blacked out windows, everyone knows who he is, he is a 'business man' and he said he 'found them in his coat pocket'. All signs point to my dad being a gangster.

I'll hand them in at lunchtime because I'm a good boy
