The '''SPAS-12''' (''Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun-12'') is a select-fire semi-automatic/pump-action shotgun that was produced by the Italian arms developer Franchi. It's well known for its iconic folding stock, which folds upward and rests on top of the weapon itself. Due to its high production cost and its complexity, as well as importation bans, the SPAS-12 ceased production in 2000. Despite this, it is still an iconic shotgun for its rugged appearance.

The SPAS-12 is issued to the [[Demolition (Kit)|Demolition kit]] as an unlockable. It has better handling at the expense of the lowest accuracy of all the shotguns due to its shorter barrel. This means that it has the largest cross hairs of all shotguns. It has an 8 shell capacity and each must be manually loaded. Being a pump-action shotgun, it can easily kill in a single shot, but it's reduced accuracy gives it a very low range.

The SPAS-12 is an All-Kit weapon unlocked at level 18. It is the third shotgun unlocked. It features high power, low accuracy and short range like all pump-action shotguns. Slugs change its damage to about that of a sniper rifle, but remove the range limits of the buckshot, and make it usable at medium-long range, but make it somewhat less effective up close, as there is a lower chance of hitting an opponent. The weapon is highly effective on small, tight and infantry-oriented maps.

The '''SPAS-12''' is an All-Kit weapon. It features usable iron sights and an 8-round tube magazine by default. It also takes several seconds to swap to, as the player's character will unfold the stock, although this is only aesthetic and the player is still able to shoot during the animation. It also features high power, short range.

The '''SPAS-12''' is a pump action shotgun featured in the ''[[Battlefield 3: Close Quarters]]'' expansion and is unlocked upon the completion of the [[These Hurt Too]] assignment. It is the second pump action shotgun available in ''Battlefield 3'' and is similar to the [[870MCS]] in its operation (it is pump action) but it pumps slightly faster, and has slightly less pellet spread, in exchange for one less pellet per shot.

This article is rated as standard

The SPAS-12 (Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun-12 before 1990 and Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun-12 thereafter) is a select-fire semi-automatic/pump-action shotgun that was produced by the Italian arms developer Franchi. It's well known for its iconic folding stock, which folds upward and rests on top of the weapon itself. Due to its high production cost and its complexity, as well as importation bans, the SPAS-12 ceased production in 2000. Despite this, it is still an iconic shotgun for its rugged appearance.


Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

The SPAS-12 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat.

Singleplayer

The SPAS-12 is issued to NATO engineer soldiers. It has high power, short range and an 8 shell capacity. It is semi-automatic and is a very good close-quarters weapon, and even for medium ranges where it can kill an enemy in 3 shots at around 80 feet away. It is the only semi-automatic shotgun in the game, making it more useful than shotguns of the other factions.

Multiplayer

The SPAS-12 is featured as the main weapon of the USMC's Engineer Kit. It has a short range but very high power.

Battlefield: Bad Company

"Legendary Italian combat shotgun with iconic folding stock. Manufacturing stopped in 2000. "

— In game description

The SPAS-12 is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company.

Singleplayer

The SPAS-12 can be found off of dead Legionnaire Mercenaries (around when the player attacks the docks in Acta Non Verba) or as a collectible in Crossing Over.

Multiplayer

The SPAS-12 is issued to the Demolition kit as an unlockable. It has better handling at the expense of the lowest accuracy of all the shotguns due to its shorter barrel. This means that it has the largest cross hairs of all shotguns. It has an 8 shell capacity and each must be manually loaded. Being a pump-action shotgun, it can easily kill in a single shot, but it's reduced accuracy gives it a very low range.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

"Designed for police and military applications, the SPAS 12 is a versatile and reliable pump action shotgun. It's been in service for over 37 years and is still a favorite among special ops."

— In-game description

The SPAS-12 Combat is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Singleplayer

The SPAS-12 can be found on certain levels as a collectible or used by enemies. It can be found with either buckshot or slugs. The plain version of this weapon can only be found in Heart of Darkness as a collectible, found before getting on the boat following the first firefight, where it is laying next to a shack next to the river. The version with the slugs can be found in Upriver. After Redford tells you to follow him to flank the MG, up the stairs to the right you will find it next to a wall.

Multiplayer

The SPAS-12 is an All-Kit weapon unlocked at level 18. It is the third shotgun unlocked. It features high power, low accuracy and short range like all pump-action shotguns. Slugs change its damage to about that of a sniper rifle, but remove the range limits of the buckshot, and make it usable at medium-long range, but make it somewhat less effective up close, as there is a lower chance of hitting an opponent. The weapon is highly effective on small, tight and infantry-oriented maps.

Three variants of the SPAS-12 are featured in Battlefield Play4Free.

SPAS-12

"Designed for police and military applications, the SPAS-12 is a versatile and reliable pump action shotgun. It's been in service for over 37 years and is still a favorite among special ops."

"Designed for police and military applications, the SPAS-12 is a versatile and reliable pump action shotgun. It's been in service for over 37 years and is still a favorite among special ops."

— In-game Description

The SPAS-12 is an All-Kit weapon. It features usable iron sights and an 8-round tube magazine by default. It also takes several seconds to swap to, as the player's character will unfold the stock, although this is only aesthetic and the player is still able to shoot during the animation. It also features high power, short range.

The SPAS actually does exactly the same damage as the 870 Combat with the same rate of fire resulting in a personal preference of choosing between these guns.

Veteran's SPAS-12

"The veteran's version comes with increased fire power and extended mag size."

— In-game Description

The Veteran's SPAS-12 features a higher damage over the standard SPAS-12, increasing the one shot kill chances, as well as a larger magazine of 10 rounds. These benefits come at a higher cost of 560 P4F Funds for unlimited use. The gun's appearance is very rugged and shows heavy use.

— In-game Description

The Elite's SPAS-12 does even more damage per pellet than the Veteran's version and has a larger magazine of 12 rounds to further increase its usefulness. The cost of this gun is 790 P4F Funds for unlimited use or 3000 PF4 Credits per day. The weapon has a very clean appearance, like all of the elite weapons, and sports a tan paint scheme on the pistol grip and handguard.

Battlefield 3

"This Italian made iconic shotgun has seen great success since its introduction on the market during the 1980s. It’s become popular world wide thanks to its capacity to handle a great variety of shell types. Its unique magazine design further simplifies the use of varied ammunition, allowing the SPAS-12 to remain in high regard with police and military units worldwide."

— Battlelog Description

The SPAS-12 is a pump action shotgun introduced in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters expansion for Battlefield 3. It is unlocked upon the completion of the These Hurt Too assignment. Similar to the 870MCS in its operation (it is pump action) but it pumps slightly faster, and has slightly less pellet spread, in exchange for one less pellet per shot.

Similar to the .44 Magnum, DICE employees have access to a suppressed version of the SPAS-12, and can be picked up from their dead bodies.[1]
