BROWNING AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN
This newest of shotguns combines many good features. It is a hammerless, automatic ejector, single trigger, repeater, with greatly reduced recoil. It is entirely automatic in its action excepting only that the trigger has to be pulled for each shot. All the operations—opening the breech, ejecting the empty shell, inserting a cartridge, cocking the hammer, closing and locking the breech—are performed by the recoil, leaving the arm ready to be fired again by a pressure on the trigger. In consequence of its being utilized to operate the mechanism, the recoil, which in other guns is worse than wasted on the shoulder, is largely absorbed, and the shooter is spared the discomforts that otherwise result from the "kick." It is, in effect, a single trigger, five barrel gun with but one barrel to aim, carry and clean.
