    BB's are steel. Make sure that either the barrels are cut, or the choke is removed from the end of the barrels. Old shotguns were manufactured specifically for lead shot. Loading them with shells using steel BB's might cause catastrophic failure, at the choked portion of the barrel.

    No.
    Steel shotgun shot is very mild, soft steel.
    Airgun BBs are pretty hard, maybe harder than the average shotgun barrel.
    Maybe if you had some of the thick steel shot wads and a cheap gun you did not mind ruining, you could try it.

    Green Dot is too fast burning for steel shot of any sort.
