Today I'm taking the SPAS-12 out to the range, to try a variety of ammunition and see what runs in it. The SPAS is a gas-operated shotgun that can be switched to manual pump operation for use with underpowered ammunition. This was originally intended as a way to allow things like beanbag and other less lethal rounds to be used by police forces - but it is also a way to run light practice birdshot that would not normally cycle the gas system. So let's see what runs and what doesn't!

80s riot control - drive and shoot into the mob! : ) Love it!

It is hard to believe that anyone would buy that shotgun.

I think it should work with military loads - then again, wouldn't you prefer the simplicity (in comparison) of a traditional repeating shotgun for a tool you use as a sort of crowbar for opening doors and blasting narrow walkways.

that hold button to load. 100% deal killer right there. the gun has a tube mag... shoot feed shoot feed shoot KEEP IT FED! pushing some button to do so... nogo. makes it a rangetoy only. how did they sell those to any serious buyers? man, christ costa must hate those, I bet.

Well, you know better than Tim "I'm a gun owner and a hunter" Walz how to load a shotgun. Want to run for public office?

Tom Briggman

My Benelli is much better.

Is it all SPAS-12s that have problems running, or did Ian just run across a lemon?
