If your hunting next to a river and shooting at flying ducks, spend your money and get a semi auto. Always get a camo gun if you've got the money. Just worth the investment for rust issues.
This is just my two cents.
you can shoot flying ducks just fine with a pump. it is actually a skill to pump a shotgun smoothly, fast and not moving the gun. i happen to be very good at it
