This is an interesting concept. An automatic reloader for a single barrel break action shotgun.

Yeah, so does my bolt action rifle, my lever action rifle, and my pump shotgun. Doesn't make them single shots either.

It looks to me like you'd get the back end of the thing in the bridge of your nose when you fired the gun! Unless of course if you're a lefty.
