The action is opened (bolt action, pump action, semi-auto, single barrel, double barrel SxS or O/U - the method of opening will depend upon the type listed) and a self contained cartridge is inserted either into the chamber directly, or into the tube magazine found on pump and semi-auto actions). The action is then closed and the shotgun is ready to fire.
