Semi Auto "SPAS 12"

[jzmalexander]

I have made a dream of mine come true, a SPAS-12 with semi auto..

Not an actual true SPAS, as of course no one makes them with semi auto function. Its made from a Cybergun FN SLP Tactical with a Double Eagle SPAS heat shield. No permanent modifications were needed which is fortunate. Taking it to a CQB game on Saturday to see how it does.

Can switch between 1 or 3 BBs per trigger pull which should be nice for woodland games too.

Looks good, but is there any way to get rid of, or change that rear stock ?
Appreciate that it probably holds the co2 cartridge, so a spas hook stock wouldn't work, but something more minimalist would definitely look better.

While I agree the folding stock looks better the solid stock is accurate as Franchi did release a solid stock version for the civilian market

They used one in the lobby scene in the original Matrix.

I kinda dig it.

Normally, a SPAS12 for me has to have the folding stock but with this one, you ain't gonna see anyone else rocking the same one lol

I like that very much!

Yea, indeed it houses the co2. I have a folding stock but unfortunately won't work with this gun.
Main thing for me is it does semi auto with tri shot, so I am satisifed

Okay now make it fire both barrels if I right click

What sort of FPS is it hitting being CO2?
ngl i want it lol. I have never seen a SPAS-12 in a game, and I am drawn to the unique or rarer guns.

Will be getting it chrono'ed at a game tomorrow so will reply with results then. On the website and box it lists the single shot mode being 1.9j (definitely outdoor use only), and the tri shot mode as 1-1.1j.

Might be hard to chrono the tri mode as it's a single barrel system.

Not only for the civilian market, the original SPAS had the option of solid wood stock or folding stock. Polymer stocks then later replaced the wooden option.

The “it’s the civilian version” comes from US laws, and appears to be misinterpreted as the origin of solid SPAS because everyone likes the Hollywood editions, and then in “real life” needs the ally look can trump the fit for purpose solid stock.
Folding stocks allow for the weapon to be smaller for transport etc, but you need to unfold it for use, depending on circumstances and the weapon they may be usable with a stock folded but can result in a limp wrist and missing the target

I wouldn’t want to call the Italian police a bunch of poseurs for specifying their “need” to fire one handed from a moving vehicle and then producing publicity photos conducting such posing.
