Patent attributes
A gas pressure mechanism that receives and supplies gas pressure to a semi or automatic shotgun during the shotgun's reloading operation. The gas pressure mechanism includes twin body members having a front cylinder in fluid communication with a rear cylinder. Each rear cylinder includes a rear gas port disposed in communication with the interior of the shotgun barrel such that gases of combustion is bled through the rear gas ports from the interior of the barrel to the interior of the rear cylinders. Similarly, each front cylinder includes a front gas port disposed in communication with the interior of the shotgun barrel at a location to effectively recoil and counter-recoil the shotgun's piston or breech bolt to its rear most position. The rear cylinders, are situated immediately in front of the shotgun's shell chamber such that the rear gas ports capture and receive the gas pressure developed immediately behind the shell load as it travels through the barrel after firing.
