2 trigger pulls per pump "Shooting the DP-12
Shooting the DP-12 is unlike shooting any other shotgun on the market. The first thing that you have to come to terms with when running the DP-12 is the muscle memory you have developed with other pump shotguns. The ergonomics are well thought out (and easily mastered), but the operation of the firearm is unconventional. Pulling the trigger once fires the left hand barrel; pulling the trigger a second time fires the right hand barrel. You then pull the forend to the rear and cycle the action. This for me was a huge hurdle; it took me nearly 50 shells just to break the habit of racking the action every time I pulled the trigger" see review gunsamerica.com/blog/dp-12-review-a-functional-double-barrel-bullpup/

Hello Daniel, 1 pump loads both barrels but you have to pull the trigger once per barrel. Kind of a semi-auto pump. You have to pull the trigger for every shot but only pumping once for every two rounds instead of once after every shot. Hope that helps!

Hi Daniel, 2 rounds are loaded per pump and 1 round is fired per trigger pull.
