8.3.2 Firing the Weapon

To fire the weapon:

1. While looking through the sight or sights, and on target, press the

trigger. The shotgun will fire the chambered round and

automatically cycle the next round into the chamber. After selected

magazine tube is completely discharged, the bolt will lock back.

2. To continue firing, press the magazine locking lever with the tip

of your index finger and rotate the next magazine tube into

position while releasing the lever. After the tube locks into

position, the shell will automatically drop onto the carrier and

load into the chamber.

3. If at any time you would like to stop shooting, turn the safety

lever on, keep your finger straight along the frame, outside the

trigger guard and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

4. Repeat this until all of the magazine tubes are empty and the

bolt locks to the rear.

NOTE: Once a magazine tube is empty and rotated out

from underneath the barrel, the tube can be

reloaded even though there is a live round in the

chamber.

5. To fire additional rounds, aim and press the trigger again.

Repeat this process until you are finished firing or the magazine

is empty.

6. After the last round has been fired, verify that the weapon is

unloaded by checking all three magazine tubes, the chamber

and carrier for live shot shells.

7. Whenever you stop firing and you are no longer aiming at the

target, even momentarily, turn the safety lever on.

8. When firing is completed, remove your finger from the trigger,

place it straight alongside the frame of the shotgun, and turn

the safety lever on.

WHEN THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY:

9. When you finish firing, unload the shotgun and confirm that it is

empty (“Clear”), following the Unloading and Safety Check

procedure on p.25 and below.
