When you have a round the size of a coke can...how many do you need to off Bambi, amiright? One of my .22s is single shot, breech. 2 of my shotguns. I don't have any pistols, not my bag. They all get the job done. Surrounded by people at the range (and in the woods) with ar's.....and honestly, I think alot of them would starve to death regardless of how many rounds their magazines could carry - if they had to count on their rifles.
Singles have the benefit of slowing everything down, making shots more deliberate than the down range semi-auto pattern. I'm a biased shooter, though...I like to hit shit more than I like to shoot at shit.
I used to swing a Browning M2 .50 cal. MG. If somebody want to abuse the piece they could be 82 pounds of lead a minute in the air. I thought of it as an area weapon.
I agree with you on the single shot idea, "make it count".
