i do know the meaning of literal. I mean literally, he can't shoot it. The ammunition doesn't exist.

Though, i suppose its POSSIBLE you could commission gunpowder rounds in the right caliber, but you would still have no idea of the safe load of each round, you'd have to test all kinds of variant loads, which probably means at least one gun will end up destroyed.

So while, technically, there does exist a theoretical possibility of firing the weapon that I did not at first think of, it would be so prohibiitively expensive as to practically not exist as an option
