You ever wonder how a shotgun works on the inside? You have probably seen and manhandled thousands of them in video games, but rarely do any of us ever get glimpses inside what a shotgun looks like. It’s not quite as complex as I thought it would. There are modern watches that are handmade and still have 100’s of working parts. The shotgun, by comparison, is shockingly straight forward.

Still very cool to see how it works and expels the shell. I will definitely (probably not) think about that next time I am tackling some massive boss fight or a hallway of generic goons using a shotgun.
