One point many seem to forget is the British Game gun was designed & built around "High Volume" shooting in comparsion to most any hunting situation encountered in the US. Althoug I have never been there from reading it would seem that many of the shooters in the heyday of the driven shoots, many shot as many rounds as the normal US target shooter, & they did it with their game gun. The weight of those guns decreased over the yrs, they did not become heavier. This also appears to have occured over years in which the amount of shooting was not necessarily declining, so was not because of less shots fired.
