Beyond safety considerations, a reason "slam fire" shotguns have been discontinued may have something to do with how a machine gun is legally defined. If you are stretching a point, as attorneys are apt to do, a "slam fire" gun is capable of firing more than one shell with a single pull of the trigger making it a machine gun by some vague definitions. Of course, the same can be said about a "fanner" cowboy revolver.

Although I can't recall the exact article as it was many years ago, I know I read something...possibly in an NRA gun 'rag' , mirroring what you(
zippy) implied in your post.
