I think that comes down to shooter ability. A semi mechincally can beat a pump every time. Even and auto 5 should beat a nova if, and I mean if the shooter can control the gun as it recoils. I remember shooting an auto five as a kid and emptying the gun in under 5 seconds. Damn thing climbed like crazy due to the design. I think a pump makes a shotgunner sometimes more accurate because it slows you down and makes you focus on the basics of swing and follow through. I'm sure I can beat you with an 1100 if you use a model 12
