I did that with my old 1st Generation Colt .45
Made in 1887. I was cleaning it up and rebarreling it and when I had the barrel off I thought of what Elmer wrote so like you did, I fired some loads through it. The black powder loads were especially vicious. Lots of flame and smoke. If you were face to face with someone and let one of those go they got hit with a flamethrower.
