Even if a gun doesn't have a magazine it could still have a bullet in the chamber and it is potentially dangerous, there is no indication in most guns to check if there is a live round on the gun, the user must then operate the gun in order to make sure is safe. Remember to always perform multiple safety checks on any gun you need to handle.
A Chamber Safety Flag is a tool which indicates that a weapon is unloaded and is safe to manipulate, it allow anyone who sees the gun to know that the gun has no live round and unable load and shoot.
