You can’t go wrong with a pump shotgun.

Nothing wrong with an auto either.

It’s more a matter of aesthetics.

I prefer a pump myself, but I own both.

The pump makes “that noise”...

I have one each and a bolt action I found at the flea market long ago. I had not known there was such a thing till I saw it on the seller's table. It takes 2+1 rounds so is a bit limited compared to my others. I also have a 20 ga single that is ancient enough to be a curio.

I spent the summer of '64 in Maine with my grandparents. Grandma liked to go to auctions which were the equivalent of the 70s yard sales in Florida. At a farm auction a pair of ancient long pin-fire shotguns came up. I had $25 and really wanted those shotguns. A bushel basket of reloadable shells came with it. I bid carefully and only one person, another young teenager was the only other bidder. It got to $20 and I stupidly bid $22. He bid $25 and got the guns. I talked to him after and found out he only had $25. If I had bid my whole wad of $25 I would have owned the pieces.
