Best Answer

A shotgun works the same as any other centerfire firearm, with a cartridge loaded in the chamber and a firing pin hitting the primer to fire it. The specifics depend on the exact type of shotgun, which can be one of about a dozen types of single-shot actions, single or double barrel, bolt action, one of several types of autoloader or a lever action.
