It's even more amazing that the middle two are also shotguns. I have always been puzzled by the concept of a bolt action shotgun.

my father hunted with one for years, he bought it when he got home from WWII and hunted with it until I got him an 870 Wingmaster in the early 70's. Can't tell you how many time he took a second shot (normally one was enough) at a running rabbit, from the speed of the second shot if you weren't looking you would not have known.

may have been the Springfield '03 training before he got a Garand in Europe, but never underestimate a smooth bolt in the hands of an expert.
