Missing shotgun definition

In the previous entry I made concerning the shotgun definitions, I left out one important part. The CARTRIDGE DROP LEVER.

The CARTRIDGE DROP LEVER on a shotgun allows for the bolt to be opened on a shotgun in certain circumstances. It is usually located in front of the trigger and safety select switch. Pressing the CARTRIDGE DROP LEVER is mandatory in some instances to open the bolt on a shotgun.


In a future blog entry, unloading a shotgun, use of the CARTRIDGE DROP LEVER is critical.
