@Nr1_Goober@ColdSteak@ArmedJ0y Well, the SPAS 12 is both pump-action and semi-auto.
The intent was for police use.
High-power shells like slugs would be used with semi-auto mode, while lower-power shells like beanbags would be used in pump-action mode.
There's a mode selector at the bottom of the foregrip.
@ColdSteak@Nr1_Goober@ArmedJ0y I've heard that applies mostly to the semi-auto feature.
Which then makes it a needlessly heavy & expensive pump-action if you want it to be more reliable.
(Still looks and sounds cool as fuck)
If I recall, it was designed to be used with high pressure rounds to cycle reliably.
@3rdGenZerinchev@meowsatinfants@D0NKFORTRESS I don't think they even intended for it to be a standard assault rifle.
Probably was designed to be a big rifle for Power Armor use (Which then it actually looks pretty good when carried by 8 foot tall soldiers)
But they should've also gave us standard service rifles!
