TOKYO MARUI
SPAS 12 Shotgun

The Italian SPAS (Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun) 12 is one in a line of semi and fully automatic combat shotguns from Franchi. It is over 20 years old, but it is still highly effective with a capacity of 8+1 shells and a variety of ammunition types. As such, it is popular with Special Forces and counter terrorist teams world wide including the Italian 'NOCS', the French 'GIGN' and Britain's own Special Air Service, the 'SAS'. The SPAS 12 is little brother to the SPAS 15, one of a new generation of fully automatic combat shotguns along with the Pancor Jackhammer and the Heckler and Koch CAW (Close Assault Weapon).

The Tokyo Maryi Airsoft SPAS 12 shotgun was designed to act like a real shotgun while still being economical. This has been achieved by using a unique system comprising of 3 separate pistons and 3 barrels, to make a trio of bb's spread out rather like a real shotgun which gives the advantage over other airsoft shotguns that each bb fired has the power of an AEG shot. The result of this is that not only does this pack a heavy punch at close range, but the kill zone is expanded form a straight line to a cone shape meaning you don't even have to aim directly at the target to have a good chance of hitting them. This is particularly useful at long range, giving a good spread. The range is about the same as a stock AEG and the sights themselves are easy to use, with a big hole behind a big blade, useful for snap shooting. So where does the ammo come from? Well that is another excellent feature of this Tokyo Marui SPAS 12 shotgun. 30 rounds can be loaded into replica 12 gauge shotgun shells, or 'shot shells' as Marui calls them. They give you ten shots, which should last you long enough to find a safe place to reload.
