There are "pump action" rifles, but they're most popular in shotguns. Shotguns do even more damage than rifles in close quarters and mass-shootings because each shot throws out many bullets (pellets). There's two topics with pump actions, how fast can you shoot, and how fast can you reload.

How fast can you shoot, is basically as fast as a semi-automatic, there's virtually no difference in rate of fire (other than each shot of a shotgun is equivalent to many trigger pulls on an assault rifle).

Reloading isn't worse than other fixed magazines. They make speed reloading tubes, so a shotgun can hold 10 regular rounds, or 20 short rounds (not as powerful, but easily enough to kill people). The same reloading technique works semi-automatic or pump, if it's a tube magazine (most shotguns). But many tactical shotguns have removable magazines, you can switch between two tubes (so they carry twice as much). But a removable or fixed magazine does not matter: you push load 20 fresh rounds into a gun in a fraction of a second.

The much larger bullets of a shotgun make them easier to reload because it's a large muscle motion instead of a smaller one. The only difference is the shape of the bullet grouping goes from stacked on top of each other to lined up end-to-end. So you carry a bunch of tubes around, instead of magazines -- and each shot has a higher chance of lethality as you're basically firing 10-12 bullets the size of an assault rifle bullet, with each shot.

Gun Bans
Gun bans of one model/kind of gun can't work. And gun bans of all kinds has never worked.

Reload Times
There's a fallacy amongst the ignorant that limiting magazines to 10 rounds will help against mass shooters. If only.

Removable Magazines
Magazine limits can't help, mass shooters haven't been disarmed reloading, because reloading magazines is too quick.

Fixed Magazines
There's virtually no difference in reloading removable or fixed magazines, outlawing the former is just an annoyance.

Revolvers
There's almost no difference in reloading removable or rotary magazines, magazine limits only annoy the law abiding.

Pump Action
Pump actions are fast, easy, and easy to make.

Lever Action
Lever actions are as fast (rate of fire) as a semi-automatic, but more compact/reliable, with just a little skill.

Bolt Action
Bolt Actions can dump 38 shots per minute, hitting a target at 300 yards. Explain how slowing shot placement is a net win.

Break Action
You can reload a break action gun faster than someone can charge. Let alone if you had a spare gun.

Air Rifle
While others had flintlocks, the Austrian Arm was using 22 shot .46 caliber repeater, you could hunt bear/elk with.
