A shotgun typically stores 5 rounds in its magazine. In some countries, when hunting certain types of game, you are only allowed 3 rounds in your magazine. The "plug" therfore goes into the magazine and takes up the space that two rounds would occupy., reducing the shotgun's magazine capacity be 2 and making it legal.

Thus removing the plug restores the shotgun's capacity for a full magazine.
