I wonder how would you reload RMB

Remove silencer, and then you can pivet shotgun forward and open reload window. On this photo you can see more clearly - https://resize.yandex.net/a430c24f27d8284148f78f3e543f909d?key=fd3d27ddcbda9f342b5a27b10a0c0298&url=http%3A%2F%2Fotvaga2004.mybb.ru%2Fuploads%2F000a%2Fe3%2F16%2F76937-1-f.jpg&width=640&height=0&typemap=png%3Apng%3B*%3Ajpg&crop=no&enlarge=0&use-cache-headers=yes

That's a hell of an awkward way to reload an underslung shotgun. Might as well use the Masterkey shotgun instead.

It's done like that because RMB-93 (along with it civilian variant RMO-93 "Rys'" ("Lynx" on russian)) have magazine on top, barrel at the bottom and to reload it you opening port cover at the top of gun -in underslang configuration this cover hidden under rifle's handguard.

WHy no masterkey? First, in 1993, when it were first showed, there weren't any other pump shotguns in Russian. 2nd, notice weight - RMB-93 is a very light gun, since it have no bolt, so this 9A-91+RMB-93 combo weight only 3,8 kg unloaded. And 3rd - both guns produced by one manufacturer)
