Needless to say, this is a bad idea in real life. Shotguns are designed around the idea that gravity will be pointing under the gun, not towards the back, and the pump handle aren't designed to support this kind of strain, which can lead the gun to jam or break. But RuleOfCool trumps that in the media. Good luck actually applying enough force anyway!

A RuleOfCool way of chambering a shotgun. A character after firing releases the handle and holds the gun vertically by the pump handle. He then swings the gun and lets its weight work the pump, before leveling the gun and firing again. A variation involves a lever-action rifle, where the character does something similar but holds on to the lever only, letting the gun's recoil and weight cause the handle to pull itself.
Alternatively, it can be done prior to a fire fight, as part of a LockAndLoad montage.
Needless to say, this is a bad idea IRL. Shotguns are designed around the idea that gravity will be pointing under the gun, not towards the back, and the pump handle aren't designed to support this kind of strain, which can lead the gun to jam or break. But RuleOfCool trumps that in the media.
