Ithaca slam fire?

Please tell me this will be a thing.

It'd be great if you could just hold down the left click with an ithaca and have the pump do the work for you.

I doubt it.
To answer your question here's a quote from one of the developers from RS2's Discord:

Interestingly, if you turn manual bolting on there's a way to do that, kind of.
If you double click and hold the second, it should fire the second round as soon as the bolt closes again. You have to hold the second click though with manual bolting on you can rack it pretty quickly though just by spamming clicks you can go pretty quickly.
True slam fire would be hard, because animations aren't going to keep up with mouse clicks
but making it a sort of automatic firemode might work and would be interesting.
It would interfere with the existing bolt-action style setup though (manual bolting is treated as an alternate firemode).

Well that was the selling point of the Ithaca for jungle fighting. Usually a really BAD "feature". Traditional pump shotguns work well enough as is. And you dont have to worry about idiots firing the thing by mistake by holding the trigger down and working the pump. For the game it would be cool. But how to make it work with manual "bolting"? If it makes sense I hope they could do it as a "full auto" fire mod. Probably get guys blowing the heads off their pals standing next to them too. Just like the down side of this "feature". That is, having the shotgun fire by holding the trigger down and then cycle the pump. That is an arrangement that is not intuitive. I am SO for it.

Yes it initially wasn't an intended feature of pump actions. Most can't slamfire these days. To prevent people accidentally shooting others. I mean imagine. You watch your mate shoot a target, he turns round with a big smile on his on his face then Bang. He pumped the shotgun while forgetting to let go of the trigger.
