I have read advertisements from the early twentieth century pimping pumps and automatics that pointed out the advantage a repeater had in the "spray and pray" school of waterfowl hunting. I have the idea that the market hunters were pretty fond of the repeaters too. And perhaps that enthusiasm carried over to the sport hunter.

I suppose the big news of WWI was the efficacy of machine guns. Maybe hunters found that a persuasive argument to go for the repeater.
