When you slide the pump back, the bolt moves back, ejecting the spent shell and cocking the hammer.
The carrier drops down, pushing aside the stop that holds the shells in the magazine and a shell slips onto the carrier.
As you slide the pump forward, the carrier rises, moving the fresh shell into position
and allowing the magazine stop to move back into place, keeping the rest of the shells in the mag.
The bolt slides forward, chambering the round and you're in battery.
Be very careful with this gun,
There is no disconnect on the trigger, if you're holding the trigger as the you move the pump forward
when the bolt goes home the hammer will drop and the gun will discharge!
There is a "half-cock" position on the hammer that serves as a safety.
(pull the hammer halfway back, you'll feel it click into the stop)
If you have to move the gun with a shell in the chamber, put it in half-cock
There is no stop on the firing pin, if you drop this gun it will discharge.
...other then that it's one of the finest assault weapons ever made. I have one and I love it.
