Bob,

With most any shotgun, there's this little matter of recoil. Touching off a round is more likely to disrupt your gun-target line than running the action on a pump. I am sure that would be the case with a lever gun too, though I have never shot a lever action repeating shotgun.

Shot-to-shot control in rapid fire with a shotgun is as much an issue of recoil as action type IMO, it is as easy to shoot a pump well as an autoloader for the most part depending on what the shooter is accustomed to running. IOW, no matter what kind of repeater you are shooting, you will have to recover from recoil before you can deliver another controlled shot no matter how the next round is cycled into the chamber.
