A gas operating system has a port (small hole) in the barrel under the barrel lug which bleeds of pressure (gas) from the expanding powder charge it uses this pressure to operate the action of the gun and chamber a new shell the TR imports silver eagle sporter is a good gun at its price it will be a good hunting and occasional target gun if you at going to shoot a lot I suggest going up to the Mossberg or Remington semi autos like this one (it is a much better gun and will last a lifetime) https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/2084_37_64_992/products_id/99879/Remington+1187+Sportsman+12+28+Rem-Choke+Mod+Black

It's a semi auto that uses recirculated gas to work the action and eject the spent shell with each firing. Reviews have been positive from actual owners and this shotgun has proven to pattern well.

Mark, This is a fine semi-auto for the money. Walnut wood furniture, aluminium alloy receiver, 4140 steel chrome plated barrel, vented rib, fiber optic front sight, will handle 3" rounds, comes with 5 choke tubes including wrench. Will handle any round you put in it. The gas eject system is a series of 10 small vents on the gas tube in front of the foregrip that functions the action when shell passes and gas goes out. Very unique, but seems to work with all loads. Any semi-auto shotgun can act up. Has positive reviews.
