Herb Parsons was able to throw 7 clay pigeons in the air and shoot them all before they hit the ground.He was an exhibition shooter for Winchester and said the model 12 was the only pumpgun in the world fast enough to do this.
He later in life said in an interview that he was able to do this by holding the trigger back and pumping like hell.That allowed him to shoot faster than the semi auto guns of that era.Another reason the model 12 was the only pump to do this was it held 6 rounds in the magazine.
So maybe if a fellow had the natural hand eye coordination,fast twitch muscle fibers,visual acuity,and unlimited ammunition that Mr. Parsons was gifted with the "slam fire" technique would be useful in the field or on the range.I am not one of those fellows,but I have emptied my 66 year old Ithaca Model 37 20 gauge a few times by holding the trigger back and pumping like hell.I gotta admit it was kind of fun.
