The only 16ga adaptors I know about are lightweight and meant only for
firing flares ( flares are fairly harmless but don't tell Hollywood ) ,
shotgun shells would blow-up, immediately . The 410 Adaptors are fine for a
oneshot bird gun. To go hunting for AK47's think again...

I've never seen a plastic 25mm flare pistol. A 16ga shotgun shell doesn't
have that much of a kick anyway. Also, the adapter was machined out of
solid
stainless and had
some heft, about 1/4" wall thickness. I doubt that it would kick that
much.
I'm kicking myself for not buying one of the adapters while I had the
chance. These .410
adapters are probably the next best thing. I wouldn't want to be on the
receiving
end of a .410 blast at pistol range.

OUCH! Back when American peasants were allowed weapons a friend had a
single shot 12 Ga sawed-off at the pistol grip and fore end. Despite
retaining about half its original weight it was quite punishing to
shoot. I'm not sure which end of a light plastic Olin I'd rather be on
when firing a 16Ga, and this from a nut who's carry gun is a LW 44
Magnum.
