Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different ways to load a shotgun?

You can load a shotgun via breach loading (for break-actions), standard under-barrel tube feeding, front tube loading (common on some lever-actions), direct chamber loading, and using detachable magazines on AR-style shotguns.

What is breach loading for shotguns?

Breach loading involves opening the action of a break-barrel shotgun, like the GForce Arms GF5, to insert ammunition directly into the chamber or magazine, often used for hunting or skeet.

How does a standard tube-fed shotgun load?

In a standard tube-fed shotgun, rounds are inserted into the magazine tube, usually located under the barrel. They are then lifted by a loading gate to enter the chamber when the action cycles.

What is a magazine-fed shotgun?

A magazine-fed shotgun uses detachable box magazines, similar to AR-style rifles. Examples include the GForce Arms 12 Hammer, which features a flared magwell for easier magazine insertion.
