SPAS-12

The SPAS-12 is a combat shotgun that was produced by the Italian Arms developer Franchi S.P.A. It's well known for its iconic folding stock, which folds upward and rests on top of the weapon itself. It has never become truly popular because of its weight and complicated controls. It's capable of both Pump-Action or Semi-Automatic fire. It accepts a wide variety of attachments including numerous Chokes, Gas-Grenade Launchers, or even diverters. All of its attachments are very expensive and demand a premium price. Due to the expensiveness and complexity of the SPAS-12, as well as importation bans, it has ceased production in 2001. Despite this, it is still an iconic shotgun for its rugged appearance.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In singleplayer, it can be found off of dead mercenaries (around when the player attacks the docks) or as a collectible in Crossing Over.

In multiplayer, it is issued to the Demolition kit as an unlockable. It has better handling at the expense of lower accuracy due to its shorter barrel. This means that it has the largest cross hairs of all shotguns. It has an 8 shell capacity (7 in chamber; 1 in tube) and each must be manually reloaded. Being a pump-action shotgun, it can easily kill in a single shot, but it also has very low range.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
In singleplayer, the SPAS-12 can be found on certain levels as a collectible or used by enemies. It can be found with either shells or slugs. You can only find a plain version of this weapon in Heart of Darkness as a collectible, found before you get on the boat following the first firefight, where it is laying in the open.

In multiplayer, the SPAS-12 is unlocked at level 18. It features high power, low accuracy and short range like all pump-action shotguns. It can be used by any class, having no class specific. This weapon can cause a one shot kill up to 25 yards, and is capable of destroying UAVs well.
