(or to the left for left-handed shooters), so empty hulls eject clear of
your body and face. Fired shells will be thrown completely out of the
shotgun upon opening the action. Remember to pick up all of your
empties after you have finished shooting so as to not to cause litter.
Unfired shells will be elevated in the chambers by the extractors. They
can be unloaded from your shotgun by pulling the unfired shell(s) out
of the chambers with your fingers. If only one barrel has been fired,
only the fired hull will be ejected upon opening of the action. If
shooting is imminent, a loaded shell can be inserted in its place.
