  The Repeating Pump-Action Shotgun
The repeating pump-action shotgun is even more simple in its operation than the pump-action rifle. By referring to A and B, Fig. 21, you will see at once that the carrier of the rifle and the shotgun work a little differently from each other. The carrier in the shotgun has a rocker action when the slide handle is pulled back, that is, the carrier rocks down below the frame of the gun and catches the shell which the magazine spring forces into it.
When this action takes place the breech-bolt slides back, carrying the empty cartridge with it, and when the slide handle is closed the carrier moves up parallel to the breech and the breech-bolt shoves the loaded cartridge into the chamber.
