True story about the forceful racking of a pump shotgun:

Had my new 870 Remington magnum for some time before firing it. Lots of cool rack-rack sounds of course. Went out to try skeet with a friend, and was a complete farkup as I just did not have a feel for how much harder you have to shove the slide forward when actually chambering a round. Kept getting jammed up partway into the chamber and pumping again after shaking the shell out of the action. Shotgun equivalent of limp-wristing it I suppose.....

As a former Marine with tons of rifle experience, it was very embarrassing to not know proper pump shotgun handling in front of civilian friends.......
