| Okay, how do you "accidentally" fire a gun 3-4 times?
|

Semi-automatic firearms use the recoil from firing a round to chamber the
next round and cock the trigger. If the trigger pull is light enough the
shotgun could easily jump back enough to fire the next round. Professional
hunters sometimes use very light triggers in order to minimize movement of
the firearm. It is embarrassing, but every now and then some marksman will
empty an entire clip or magazine. This shotgun probably holds five rounds.
Once the first round fired accidentally, the rest just followed as if the
shotgun was a machine gun.
