UNLOADING THE SHOTGUN ! WARNING: Do not rely on ejectors to unload Beretta SO10 shotguns! The selective ejectors do not eject live ammunition. They eject spent shell casings when the chambers are locked open, while the unfired cartridge/s will be only pulled up. To unload the shotgun, manually remove the live cartridge/s and check to ensure that both chambers are empty. • After firing or to otherwise unload the shotgun, engage the safety, push the top lever to the right, open the shotgun by holding the receiver in place and by levering the barrels downwards. • The automatic selective ejectors will only eject spent shell cases. Unfired cartridges will only be raised and need to be extracted by hand. • Prior to closing the shotgun, inspect the chambers. Be sure both are empty. • Decock the hammers as indicated in the paragraph: "DECOCKING THE HAMMERS". ④ ② ① ③ Fig. 17 - 82 - Fig. 18
