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 .

For some reason it was always easy for me. I can hit stuff moving
easier than things sitting still it seems.
Maybe I don't have the patience to aim but quick pointing comes
naturally.

'Principles of a Quick Kill' was an Army training manual where they used
BB guns with no sights. The idea was with the right lighting you can see
the BB in flight and develop instinctive skills. Airsoft works too.

I got somewhat proficient at it but it is a skill that fades, at least
for me. I also suck at video games that require good hand to eye
coordination.
