We all have different preferenses and feelings about different things so I can understandany argumentthat is based on the words " feel" or"like", but apart from that is there any advantage about a pump? Is there any situation when it is better to manually cycle agun than just keep pulling the trigger?

Im not saying pumps are the wrong choice for anyone. Im just curious what it is that would be their advantage. Since they are around after great many years they obviously must appeal customers.
