GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Browning Maxus is a gas-operated, autoloading shotgun capable
of quickly firing up to five shells (with the three-shot adaptor
removed, using 2¾" loads), one shell at a time, with each successive
pull of the trigger. Upon firing, high-pressure gases from behind the
shot charge pass through two ports in the barrel, through the gas
bracket and into the gas system, forcing it rearward. As the gas system
moves rearward, it forces the bolt to the rear, operating the action.
As the bolt moves rearward, it cocks the hammer and ejects the fired
shell. After full rearward travel, the bolt returns forward, picks up a
new shell from the magazine and chambers it. After the last shell
has been fired, the bolt locks to the rear facilitating fast reloading.
