SPAS-12
The Initials stand for Sporting Purpose Assault Shotgun, but the SPAS-12 is a military weapon. It is capable of pump action or semiautomatic fire, and has a wide variety of attachments that render it capable of firing many types of ammunition. Two of the most noteworthy are a rifle grenade launching attachment and a shot spreader which reduces the range of buckshot to 10 meters (but allows the shot pattern to spread more quickly). The SPAS-12 has a folding stock, which allows the weapon to be fired one-handed. Standard issue on Project vehicles.
