Well, ya know, ya get used to the pump thing.
I was on a slow boat to Grand Bahama once, they had "trap shooting" off the stern, sorta. You got 10 shots for 10 dollars. The kid loaded one round at a time in the gun, was all paranoid, too. Can't say I blame him. Most of the people on that ship were liberal non-gun types. So, in THAT crowd, I was a master shooter. 8 of 10 won me a magnum of champagne.
The thing was skeet choked, too, had to get on that bird FAST!
Anyway, it was an 870 express (big budget cruise line...
) and every time I fired, I instinctively pumped the gun, much to the loading boy's horror. "Don't do that!" Every time, I did that, just pressed the slide release and pumped it back for him. He got used to it by the 7th or 8th round. I just told him I couldn't break the habit!
Just a redneck duck hunter on a cruise...
