Most of the newer pumps and Autos are made in Europe. European countries put restrictions on repeaters limiting the number of shells they may hold. Remember Remingtons ill fated 11-96, it held only two in the mag for this reason, it was supposed to be a Euro gun.

Europeans look with disdain at repeating shotguns, feeling they are unsportsmanlike and would only be used by poachers and bloodthirsty savages. Look how many "Progressive" countries have banned pumps.

I think the Germans are still sore we used pumps in the trenches in WW1, theyd claimed we were being inhumane!
