(Hilarious Trope) That's not how this gun works!

EDIT: Just so you know, I might have been wrong about the 3rd example!

1. The Simpsons (Season 30, Episode 9) - The character is holding a revolver (which is normally charged by putting the bullets inside the cylinder) and charging it by putting a magazine in the grip like a Glock. Please note that this was done intentionally to make fun of how guns are portrayed unrealistically in movies;
2. Shadow the Hedgehog video game - In one of the trailers, Shadow is holding what I think was an M4A1 and, in this shot, he is arming it by pulling the handguard like a shotgun. The handguard is only for protecting the shooter from the heat generated by the barrel.
3. Stranger Things (Season 5, Episode 8) - During the fight with the Mindflayer, Nancy is loading an M4A1-5, and, after she inserts a magazine, she is pushing the carrying handle to arm it like a shotgun. That's not what a carrying handle is for, obviously.

I want to mention that I know there's another popular example with a silencer for a shotgun or something, but I am not familiar with it. Also, I tried my best to identify each gun, so please correct me if I was wrong about any of them.

As a firearms nerd, honestly there are a ton of guns this term actually works for. For instance, the SKS used to, unsure if it still does, had a stripper clip guide on the bolt as it was originally designed to be fed by stripper clips. After box magazines really became a thing, they made removable box mags for the SKS that replaced the originally attached one. As it turns out, one of the fastest ways you can load a box magazine for one is by having the stripper clips loaded and shove them into the rifle like with the original magazine. Now some box mags are a pain to load that way just because of the forces and geometry at play, but it can actually work.
