SPAS-12

Summary
The SPAS-12 is a high-powered shotgun found in ZAPT:R. It is an incredibly powerful shotgun, possibly even more so than the Auto Shotgun, as it can rip apart hordes of zombies if they get too close to the player. The shotgun deals 24 damage per shot, possibly making it the most powerful shotgun within the game, and also the most expensive. It is incredibly reliable for up-close combat, with the only drawbacks being a slow reload speed. As with any other shotgun, however, the weapon can then be fired again without completely reloading, at the cost of a significantly reduced firerate.

Background Story
Originally used by the military and riot police, many favor this weapon as a total zombie killing machine. With its high damage output and quick firing rate, many experienced survivors who have mowed down hundreds of zombies often have these firearms as their weapon of choice. However, it is somewhat ineffective in long-ranged combat, as these types of weapons are often used in small, enclosed environments. One room could turn into an absolute bloodbath thanks to this gun.

Tips

 * As this weapon is a shotgun, it is extremely effective up close.
 * Use this weapon to attack zombies that are up close and mauling you.
 * Like the Auto Shotgun, it's possible to make extra high jumps by positioning the gun at your feet and firing repeatedly while jumping.
 * If there's a Tank harassing you up close, use this weapon to quickly kill it.
 * There's only 10 rounds per clip, so make sure your shots count.
 * This weapon can very quickly take out tough zombies like Smashers and Consumers up close.

Trivia

 * The model of the SPAS-12 appears to be based off of the Franchi SPAS-12.
 * The SPAS-12 is also known as the Combat Shotgun by some.
 * In real life, the SPAS-12 can be fired both semi-automatically and automatically. This is not possible in the game, as the shotgun only fires in an automatic fashion.
 * The real life SPAS-12 also only has a shell capacity of 8, rather than 10 like in the game.
 * The SPAS-12 stands for "Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun". The 12 doesn't really have a meaning, but it could refer to the 12-gauge shells that this weapon fires out.
