[@OriginalBongoliath]

Plasma Raccoon Actually before the Cuban revolution the Bautista government made an order for FAL's to begin replacing their aging American surplus armaments. After the revolution they were used briefly by the Communists until they could be supplied with Soviet armaments. Instead of destroying them Castro held them in storage until they could supply Communist revolutionaries particularly in Angola where they were sent during the decades long conflict there. So Treyarch, maybe inadvertently, did get that part right.

The depiction of the SPAS-12 in the Half-Life series having a second barrel is indeed incorrect. To get around that I've always figured that in Half-Life 1, Black Mesa produced custom SPAS-12 for military use and for their own security forces, and in Half-Life 2 the Combine studied the Black Mesa incident and did the same (and also lowered the round to 6 for some reason).

To those who are wondering why a pump action would be required to cycle specialist rounds: Aside from obviously being a more reliable means of cycling shots, some specialist rounds don't quite have enough power behind the shot to bring the recoil operation of the semi-auto configuration all the way back. Thus a manual operation would be more suited.

w00dmii5t3r It's called a buffer. It's also not necessarily unique to the AA-12, just about every automatic weapon, from machineguns to pistols, will have a buffer in some form.

[@DyaMetR]

The SPAS' strange behaviour probably was for videogamey purposes, it kinda reminds me of a Shotgun + Double barrel shotgun combo from Doom. The MP7 having a 'nade launcher probably had to do with the fact that they wanted another SMG like the MP5 from HL1. At first they were going to have the OICW shooting grenades, but they made a last minute change (scrapped the OICW) and assigned that secondary fire to the MP7, not modifying the model in the process. And the Combine's Overwatch rifle has actually a scrapped weapon's model that fired a single round before reloading and they just reused it.

There was one game that did take into account it's dual mode operation. 007 Night Fire was my first introduction to the weapon. And it allowed to switch between pump action and semi auto. However it's appearance also told me why it's dual mode operation was never focused on in other games. simply put, if you had to choose between pump action and semi auto. you always chose semi auto. the first thing you did when you got the SPAS 12 was quickly change it to semi auto. So the Pump action mode was pointless. The only way it could work would be if changing the weapon's cycling mode altered it's in game stats. But then it would make no sense. why does changing semi auto to pump suddenly change the Shotgun's pellet spread or damage?

Why is this gun just so damn sexy ? Also that's what the hook is used for.

[@cyberputo]

so you would have sex with a spas-12? o.O

[@Mrchese97]

I would but i dont think the barrel is big enough and im worried what could happen if i stuck it in the feed tube.

[@cyberputo]

Mrchese97 ok then, I won't judge.

[@jff24gordn]

When the stock is unfolded, you swing the hook to the side. The hook goes under your arm and the weight of the front of the gun holds it firm around your arm. The recoil isn't very harsh one handing it.

[@Mrchese97]

Pedro Tenório Why thank you. I will not judge you in your sexual activities as well.

I would personally recommend reviewing the Gehwer 3 rifle or FN Herstal's FAL/L1A1 rifle. They are two classic weapon designs for the NATO that you can never go wrong with, ones that can actually be capable of being a worthy rival to the AK.

[@sherifelsharkawyful]

John Quester Oh darn, I apologize, I am not a German-Speaker and simply got the word confused.

[@TheEpicplushgod]

My headcanon as to how the spas-12 in half-life can fire 2 rounds at once, is that when you use that firing mode, it fires 2 rounds is quick secession, making it appear to fire 2 at once. In half-life 1 it actually sounds like it does it, you can hear a shot and then another right after.

[@freetobe5218]

MWIII introduced a fictionalized version and actually gave it the dual operation in-game, making the fire-mode actually unique. More damage with Pump-Action, while Semi-Auto increases fire-rate and notably hipfire/tac-stance spread.

[@GuusNL44]

You've still got the great voice :D

Why do a lot of games leave the stock folded? Simple: Rule of Cool. And it is an objective fact that the SPAS-12 looks even more intimidating when its stock is folded up.

My friend has been constantly poking at me to find him some loopholes to get this beauty in real life. So I sent him this video to torture him on it more. Every time I watch one of Ahoy's videos, I start saving up for the gun. So far, I have the magnum revolver, 'M-16' and the Beretta, working towards the AK now! Keep up the good work, you carry an amazing voice.

[@kidthorazine]

If you're in the U.S. you don't need to find any loppholes, it's perfectly legal in most states since the assault weapon ban expired, since it's just a semi-auto/pump shotgun, they weren't many imported here though so they are rare, I know aguy that owns one, honestly it's overly heavy and the pump action feels really weird, I'd much prefer a Mossberg 590.

[@Kuziminski]

Oh yeah, that's right. I'mma derp. Thanks!

[@Mrchese97]

Which revolver do you got? I hope to buy a colt kodiak one day.

[@NegativeZone]

kidthorazine Natasha Parker I read on Wikipedia that older SPAS-12s sometimes fire when you engage the safety, also. It's something to do with the ability to switch between pump action and semiautomatic, apparently. This comment is being posted by someone who's never even held a gun, let alone the SPAS-12 (which is sort of rare, I think), but maybe you should be careful with it anyway.

[@Kuziminski]

***** Yeah, I saw what the next video was. That might be a bit trickier, haha. NegativeZone Yeah, that's brutal. Reminds me of Remington's 700 series and their malfunctioning.

[@vali6717]

I recently played a game that was a first person shooter spiritual remake of a now old rail-shooter that features a side by side, double barrel SPAS-12. Completely unrealistic but it seemed right at home with the game’s penchant of throwing realistic depictions of firearms out of the window for a more arcade like spirit. The fact that you can dual wield both it and the assault rifle until the second’s magazine was empty was a nice callback to the arcade game’s power ups and the occasional dual wielding some people did.

[@PennsylvaniaPlinker]

I just picked up a SPAS 12 at a gun show in PA. $1,400 for a fixed stock variant. Has a BD stamp which means it was produced in 1994, so I have one of the last ones that were ever brought into the country. Happy to know I own 1 of only 1,850 in the US.
