Talk:Franchi SPAS-12

is it just me or are we seeing less and less or the Franchi SPAS-12

Yup, and the AA12 has taken its place. At least the AA12 isn't heavy and useless-S&Wshooter 21:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

- Plus the Benelli M3 gave us the same gun without being quite as heavy or bulky. Still, the SPAS will always have that eternal beefy and badass look to it - Which is the main reason it was used so much. StanTheMan 00:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

It's really strange to me that the AA12 has become the latest, coolest auto-shotgun of choice in movies lately, considering that the design is actually older than the SPAS-12. But yes, Hollywood definitely loves the SPAS, or did. They were still appearing in tons of movies long after Franchi discontinued them. I kinda wish the SPAS-15 had caught on, but no go. -MT2008 01:32, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I held a Spas 12 last year and it seems to be heavier than my AR. I still have no clue why people love them so damn much-S&Wshooter 02:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

is the look, it has a intimidating appearance. The AA12 looks cool and could be a effective weapons system. I don't see modern army adopting as a main rifle, because it the size of a rifle but don't have the range. Rex095
