This might sound like a silly idea to some of our gun experts, but... What if a pump action mechanism became popular enough in an ATL to be used not only for shotguns, but for repeating rifles as well ? And when I say repeaters, I mean both civilian and military issue ones. How, for instance, would a WWI-like conflict be different if soldiers had to "pump" instead of "working that bolt" while dispossing of the bullet and reloading ?
