When using standard | When using standard 0000 8-Gauge Magnum ammunition, the weapon does not fire a single projectile but a spray of small pellets known as [[wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_shell#Buckshot|"buckshot"]], each of which leaves the weapon's barrel travelling at 300–400 m/s in a plume of fiery gasses.<ref name="bnet"/> After the weapon is discharged via the depression of a trigger positioned at the top of the pistol grip, the forend of the weapon (which acts as a foregrip for the user's non-dominant hand) must be retracted towards the stock by the user, ejecting the spent shell of the round just fired. When the forend is fully retracted, the way will have been cleared for an elevator to position a new shell from the magazine so that it can be loaded as the forend is once again pushed forward in the direction of the muzzle. At any point, the weapon's non-detachable magazine can be topped off or reloaded with more individual shells via the receiver.<ref name="Halo 3"/><ref name="Halo 3: ODST"/> | ||
