Try stuffing five slugs into an old Browning A5 silently some time.
Try unloading those 5 quietly as well. One guy I heard a story told on found a pretty easy albeit super noisy method. This was told for true by a couple of guys. TIFWIW. Seems getting down time came and the fellow in the tree didn't really want to eject the shells. Not even the one in the chamber. Shotgun didn't have a sling so he tied his pull rope in the trigger guard and somehow wrapped the long end around the barrel to keep the gun going down butt first. Only problem was somehow the barrel wrap came off, the shotgun pointed down, knot knocked the safety off and the old Browning ripped off 5 shots while bouncing up and down on the rope. Supposedly hunter learned from his error and the story tellers were cracking up about it.
