@Saigax12 well lets start with the obvious... WAY TOO MANY complicated features and safety's, then the not so obvious...it weighs as much as a MACK truck.
@BuffaloTPU In fairness to you, the safety does fail from time to time (although truth be told, I've never fired a spas 12).
Features......being a pump and semi auto brings a lot of possibilities to the table. I was told it was to cycle high brass in semi config, and non-lethal rounds in pump. also, the more features, the heavier it tends to be. Take it from a guy that carries with 30 shells in the magazine.
If it was as useful as your mossy, Id guess we'd see more around.
I had one in the 80s great gun with an intimadation factor of 10. I'd like to have another but I've heard they require replacement of the old plastic buffers that have gone bad with age. Have you heard of this?
That's is such a nice shotgun. It looks so cool when the stock is not deployed. Also, I know these are really hard to find but why are they so rare? And are they legal in California.
Is there a purpose behind the Spas-12 having the ability to switch between semi-automatic and pump action? Would it just be because of the shooters preference?
@GunWebsites However I learned That Mr. SPAS is illegal to own in California and Connecticut. But tell me, can I rent and shoot a SPAS at that Firing Range there in Arizona? Or do know another place where I can do said renting and shooting?
No they are not. This model is a pre ban model that was grandfathered in under the the first AWB. Pre ban model command big dollars but they can be had.
I respect your choice in firearms, and this is obviously a fine weapon. Its a shame they were reclassified. Its probably the media attention that brought it up, no?
LIMITED GUN LAWS PETITION: Everyone please google "Repeal the prohibition in the FOPA to own automatic firearms produced after 1986 (Firearms Owners' Protection Act) petition" and "Push Congress to repeal the Hughes amendment to the FOPA and NFA petition" and sign them if you want to have an illegally forced law that did not pass - removed! (1/3rd voted yes to have these guns banned in 1986, 2/3rds voted no, and it still passed).
the point in pump action is if you happen to be running bean bag rounds or other less lethal rounds and the dont have the power to cycle a new round consistantly
@GunWebsites No, I don't think there is a law against them. I've heard little about them and buying one for that matter. I've heard people say "you need proper papers". Things along those lines. So what you are saying is, you can just buy one? Just like that, walk into the gun store, see one sitting there, walk out. Just like any other shotgun?
they were not banned, the imports were banned in 1986 theyve become hard to find cause there more of a collectors item now. i seen one last week at the local gun shop going for $1000.00 .
@GunWebsites as are you. I mean you cant explain why no one can get these guns anymore. Everyone is saying they are banned, and it seems like not that many people can get a hold of these. It sure does seem like they are banned or just not making them anymore or something. So yes I am dumb. But I just want a simple explanation why people cant really get a Spas 12. It sure seems like they are banned.
Individual guns aren't really banned. Guns are mostly banned because of their features. Features like pistol grips, folding stocks, and high cap magazines.
@AuxKipchak i know but he said he said no guns are banned..... and some are.... fully auto weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction and are illegal to buy as an american citizen
Actually you can legally purchase an automatic weapon, thompsons for example are purchasable as automatic weapons. The restrictions are that the weapon has to be registered as class 3 and have been made before 1984.
It's also quite expensive, but it's legal, along with suppressors. Check out the wikipedia article for the "National Firearms Act"
You would have to buy it off someone who bought it before it was Illegal to import. It would be cheaper to just buy a Bellini. Huge collectors value.
hmm.. saw Terminator way too long ago to remember. but i vaguely remember him shooting a semi-auto shotgun backwards in T2 when he & John were chased on a bike by a truck. not sure if that was a spas12 or not. but i sure as hell clearly remember that exact unique looking stock being pulled into place in Jurassic Park by Mr. Muldoon. find it here on yt. look for "Clever Girl Scene - Jurassic Park Movie (1993) - HD" :)
@mwillblade i know. i heard. but i didn't see the first as many times as the second. and both were a great long time ago as a kid. so as i said, i only vaguely remembered a shotgun being shot in the second movie.
probably one of the sexiest shotguns imo! JURRASIC PARK FTW!
