1. A firearm with at least a two-part chamber locking assembly comprising:
a first part having a fixed frame that supports a second part having a rotary chamber;
said rotary chamber is biased at a first position within said fixed frame;
said rotary chamber being axially aligned with a hole in said fixed frame and a hole in a barrel that is configured for a projectile to pass therethrough;
launching said projectile causes said rotary chamber to rotate in a first direction of rotation and eject a temporarily retained shell out of said rotary chamber;
after said shell has been ejected a second projectile is loaded vertically into a bottom of said rotary chamber from a removable magazine, and
said rotary chamber rotates axially in a second direction of rotation, that is opposite of said first direction of rotation, around said second loaded projectile to said first position.
