I was just thinking about what you said about your not being able to take out the other shells. Well suppose you have your 2 guns with you and you see a deer at 100 yards just standing there while you have your buckshot gun in hand. Now you have to set down your back pack and take out your other gun and load it cause it shouldnt but loaded on your back pack and then shoot. That would involve way more noise than just cycling the gun. Just my thoughts
