You know, Longshots have only been around for a couple of months now, and the modders are getting to know them, by trial and error.
Do you own a Longshot? Currently, the concensus shows that the bolt-action is just fine, but the pump appears to be more war-friendly (assuming you even participate in fairly large-scale wars) since both hands can remain in firing position throughout the load cycle.
Again, this is primarily a matter of personal choice.

I made mine a pump and I wouldn't go back. It is so much easer to use and it takes less force to cock on a spring modded LS.

Neither jams or mis-fires more or less. If you have jamming or mis-firing there are other parts at fault that need to be reworked.
The mechanical advantage of the pump action is that you're cycling the bolt from both sides of the bolt sled. This, combined with the better hand hold, also gives you more leverage and makes it easier to prime the gun. Especially so if you add a second spring.
The other advantage is more comfortable ergonomics and a higher rate of fire due to no longer needing to change hand holds to cycle the weapon. The stock bolt handle is very awkwardly placed on anyone over the age of 12.

The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly. That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumble bee. I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me. Why didn't you believe me?

I have an LS that I have not yet made pump-action. I honestly don't have that big a problem with it, but I would go to pump-action if I wasn't kind of strapped for cash. Also, there is no (to my limited knowledge) kit selling out there for a reasonable price to make it pump.
That said, Captain Slug knows what he is talking about 99.9% of the time, so I would take his word for it if I were you.
Also, please clean up your posts. I am a punctuation vigilante myself, so I am probably more sensitive to posts than others, but it's in the Code of Conduct.

I offer limited runs of the kits in the trading section for $15 shipped each and will have another batch available sometime next week.Also, there is no (to my limited knowledge) kit selling out there for a reasonable price to make it pump.
Boltsniper and a few others demonstrated that they can be made with more inexpensive materials and more liberal applications of glue, but they're not that hard to make if you have tools to do so.
