No practical value. A decent hand with an 870 or 37 can get followup shots faster than many folks with autos, especially non gas guns.

And GunGeek, that's a very good explanation, thanks.

Decades ago, the great Herb Parsons used to hit 7 handthrown clays with his Model 12 by "Holding down the trigger and pumping like H*ll". Recently Tom Knapp did the same with a Benelli with a disconnector.

It's the pianist, not the piano....
