A firearm employing a gas or recoil-operated system to automatically load the next cartridge after each shot is fired, chambered for shotgun ammunition and manufactured by Axor Arms, provides rapid follow-up shots compared to manually operated designs. This type of weapon is typically utilized in sport shooting, hunting, and defensive applications due to its increased rate of fire.
The advantages of such a system include reduced felt recoil and quicker target re-acquisition, enhancing accuracy and control. Historically, these firearms represent a significant advancement in shotgun technology, offering improved performance over traditional pump-action or break-action models. Their adoption reflects a desire for greater efficiency and firepower in various shooting scenarios.
