A few years ago I did a two day shotgun course in South Africa with 12 gauge pumps. Everything was nice on the individual drills, stoppages, pointing etc.
But...when there were targets to be had in "shoot-house" I had a short cycle. It happened when I entered a room and saw two targets. Shot the first and then immediately short cycled.
And that was on day one, where every other session had been fine. I'm guessing this must happen more often in actual situations where people face real bodily harm.
If I am ever in a position to get a shotgun for home defense, it will be a semi.
