i've always wondered exactly what type of shotgun the t800 uses in T2. the way he empties a shell and puts another back in doesn't look like the atypical pump-action shotgun. so i looked around a little on the web; here's what i found:

-10 guage shotgun
(guage determines the size of the barrel; i forget what, but most shotgun guages range from some large number to 12; 12 is police issue. the lower the number, the bigger the barrel(ouch))
-sawed-off
(you don't really realize this, until you think about it, but it's true; if arnold was using a non-sawed-off barrel, it would look a lot more like a rifle. it doesn't look rediculously short, or glaringly obvious like in t1 when kyle reese actually took the time to saw it off, but it's there.)
-repeating shotgun
(doesn't mean it's automatic; means that you can put a couple of shells in there and you won't need to reload for about 5-8 times)
-was made by winchester.

the last one's the reason why it cocks the way it does. winchester used to make rifles like that; where you had a large hammer to displace a spent rifle bullet and insert a new one. when they approached him to make a repeating shotgun, he consented, but stated that it'd be much better for them to make a pump-action shotgun. winchester would eventually make a pump-action, but for i think about a couple of years, they made these ghetto shotguns.(go read wiki if you want more info)

that's why you don't see many of those winchester shotguns anymore; a pump-action simply is faster at "reloading."

nevertheless, after you watch t2, and seeing how arnold coolly flips the shotgun around while driving the bike to reload it, you'd probably wish you had one too.

YouTube - Terminator 2

favorite movie when i was a kid... gave me nightmares like crazy though.

i love when arnold's taking the shotgun out of the box, cocks it and steps on the roses. bgm's awesome during that moment.

YouTube - street fighter - daigo vs justin or steve vs julie?

in case you don't get it, just youtube "daigo justin" in the search engine and watch the very 1st entry(or watch the 3rd entry for the entire match)
