Spas-12

Summary
The SPAS-12 (Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun) is a combat shotgun manufactured by Italian firearms company Franchi from 1979 to 2000. This shotgun has the ability to switch between semi-automatic mode and pump-action mode, the former being faster and more lethal, while the latter is designed to shoot less lethal projectiles, such as tear gas.

Tips

 * This is a fast firing, semi-automatic shotgun. Treat it as such.
 * Great for crowd control against hordes.
 * This weapon has the potential to one shot any type of infected that aren't a Brute, use this to your advantage.
 * Great for taking out brutes due to the high damage, tight spread and fast firerate. Use this to your advantage.
 * The long range viability of this weapon combined with its large ammo supply is one of its greatest strengths, utilize this and don't get close unless necessary.
 * Like other shotguns, it is not recommended to use the iron sights or trying to ADS in first person. Hip firing in third person is the way to go.
 * This weapon also doesn't benefit from a spread reduction while crouching or aiming down the sights like many others, this is due to the Spas-12's already very tight spread.

Trivia

 * Mesh created by GregTame.
 * This is the third weapon to return from the original R2D, as well as the third shotgun in R2DA.
 * Originally had a price of $75,000 in debug, this was changed to 55,000 when it was added to the final game.
 * Rank required to use this weapon used to be 25 before Update v0.8.4
 * This weapon's range was nerfed in Update v0.8.4, dropping it from 210 to 160.
 * When using clip-giving armors, like the wingmaster, it only gives extra shells.
 * The Spas-12 easily trumps the Wingmaster due to range, bullet spread/damage, firerate and more shells. The off-put for this is the reloading speed, which is a few milliseconds slower.
