My main point is; why would joe public need an auto firing gun?
Or a semi auto either. There isnt a lot of game that charges the
individual shooting at them so they need a semi auto to survive.
In the case of birds, you may want to shoot more than one.
So, use a shotgun. And please, snip unnecessary text in your
responses.

That is still going to be one bird at a time unless you believe that
bull**** that a shotgun fills the air with a cloud of pellets and you
can't miss.
I can take you out to a skeet range and dispell that in about 30
seconds.


It'd take less time for me ... I've never been any good with a shotgun
. The bolt action 20 ga I got for my 14th birthday has had less than 5
boxes of shells fired thru it in over 50 years . Probably closer to 3 .


I had a Mossberg bolt action 12 ga that disappeared back in the '70s.
Never saw a reason to replace it. I enjoy target shooting and a shotgun
isn't exactly a precision firearm.
