They are not marketing them for the few of us who shoot vintage doubles at ducks. They are trying to reach "the masses', who shoot ducks with gas operated jammamatics that need high pressures to to work reliably. Pressure is not the same as velocity. You can get velocity without extreme pressures. Velocity X mass, with enough density in the pattern, is what kills ducks. Pressure is meaningless as far as killing goes.
