LMAO!!! Are you serious?

NO! And it's not even remotely funny! It is also a very good idea not to even store different cartridges together! Many cartridges won't even chamber, but if you shuck the wrong one in by mistake, it could be a fatal mistake!

Are you kidding??? Don't try it. The cartridges are shaped totally different. I suggest you wait til you can find the right cartridge
