You're out with 6's after rabbit/pigeon etc. And see Reynard. Press button. Eject round place SG/BB in; hold next BB in hand. Shoot. If need to shoot again working parts are at rear and next bb goes in. Stops needing to faf emptying mag to change cartridge type.

So it will still cycle all the cartridges if button is pushed?.what if you don't fire any shells and u need to empty gun,?do u manually push the button with your finger just inside the feeder side area?

I couldn't get it to work properly on mine and in the scenario that reynard pops up you usually don't have time to change cartridges if it's very close it gets the 4's or 5's steel i always use otherwise it gets to go on its way i do have some buffalo bb's in the belt for this occasion but it's never been practical to use them

Not for the next shot. Imagine it being a one shot pause button

 

The button does the reverse of the mag feeder button, as in effect it stops it working.

Totally; I rarely get 'the drop' on foxy.
