6. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
6.1. DESCRIPTION
The SLP is an autoloading shotgun that functions on the principle of gas
operation. With shells loaded in the magazine, a shell is fed from the
magazine into the chamber when you close the bolt. If the trigger is pulled
with the “safety” in the off safe position, the shotgun will fire a shell. After
