This guide details the 'slam fire' technique demonstrated on an Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight shotgun. By holding the trigger down while cycling the pump action, the firearm fires each round as it is chambered, allowing for extremely rapid firing. The demonstration showcases firing seven rounds of 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot in quick succession on an outdoor range. This technique requires specific firearm design and advanced shooter proficiency.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the 'slam fire' capability found in older shotguns like the Winchester Model 1912 and Ithaca Model 37. Host Scott demonstrates how holding the trigger allows for automatic firing as the action is cycled, significantly increasing the rate of fire compared to modern shotguns. While showcasing impressive speed with various ammunition types, the expert analysis concludes that slam fire, though fun, lacks the accuracy and control needed for practical modern use.
