Yes, this is true of the mossberg design. The shell "free floats" on the lifters from the time it leaves the tube mag until it is captured by the extractor. with the forend pumped rearward it is possible to cant the gun and have the shell fall out. As far a shaking, I am sure you could but I have not experminted with that.

I teach that the pump scattergun is handled and functioned with the receiver straight up and down, seems to work just fine.

Good Luck & Be Safe
