I take it this means working the under lever to cock the spring is separate to activating the loading mechanism?

The pics seem to illustrate you have to manually tilt the magazine to a perpendicular position above the taphole, and that this also cycles the tap to open - accept the pellet - then close the breech. If so, is it really 'auto' or 'self' loading?

I find it oddly attractive because it seems so ridiculously Heath Robinson....
....and sort of disappointed there isn't a clockwork element to it - or perhaps some form of steam mechanism as well!
