Quickly changing tubes in tube shotty?

[kolkim]

I was watching a animated tv series and one of the characters had a pump action tube feed shotgun. After shooting all his rounds he reloaded it by grabbing one of the 8 tubes strapped to his tac vest and switching them out faster than anybody could reload their sidearm.

Is this sort of magazine system out there or is this just one of those only in TV show things?

This is not exactly what you describe; But pretty close to the same result.

The Thailand IPSC shotgun open team developed a quick release mag tube on their shotguns.
Reliability was hit and miss I think, ease of use may not have been the greatest, but the ingenuity is awesome.

Aside from the tube speed loaders check out some of the shotgun quad loading videos on YouTube, probably the most practical way to quickly load a shotgun if speed is needed.

I like this method;

That speedloader looks really cool. Never knew that existed. I know people can reload magazines quickly but theres much more variety of tube shotguns.

Yeah. I'd love to try one.
It would be best to get one for a pump shotgun, so there's no capacity limits to worry about.

That old guy didn't look very agile. But he was still getting 8 rounds into the gun reasonably well.

Anyone who's in good shape and willing to do lots of practice could probably slam in 8 rounds pretty damn quick.
