    The Spas 12 isn’t exactly a practical choice in 2024 compared to other shotguns on the market. Still definitely a cool one though for anyone who likes any of the number of games and movies that featured it heavily like Jurassic Park or Half Life.

      Given the rarity of SPAS-12s I’d say decent chances it’s an airsoft gun.

      It is a perfectly practical choice. Only thing more modern shotguns have are provisions for accessories.

        They’re infamous for fragility, or so I hear. Something to do with the pump/semi toggle ability?

        The cost of a Spas 12 is astronomical compared to other new production tactical semi automatic shotguns. You can get a Mossberg 940 tac for around a grand. A Spas 12 will probably set you back more like four grand.

        It’s definitely a cool gun, but not something I’d recommend someone go to for practical purposes. Others just do the same, or more, for less.
