A semi kicks less than a break barrel or a pump. As it uses the energy created to load and unload. A good gun will kick less but if you compare a break barrel to a semi the semi kicks less everytime. Spas 12 is best shotgun imo not for shooting clays tho. 00 and slugs ---

Maybe he thought he wandered into the Battlefield 3 thread? I have a Beretta fp1201. I like it. I’ve shot everything out of it. I’m in the market for a side by side and a pump. ---

Beretta makes a great shotgun judging from the reviews I have read. Franchi, manufacturer of the SPAS-12 makes a ton of good shotguns, but the SPAS and its variants are so primitive, that’s one of the reasons why they’re not used by the US military anymore (replaced by the M1014 which is the Benelli M4), along with most other first-world militaries. ---

i would get a spas simply because of the nostalgia, i always thought it was cool to have the option of pump action or semi auto, im seriously thinking about getting a benelli m4 now…we’ll see come pay day. ---

If he did, he definitely wouldn’t be saying it’s “the best”. i have it is heavy and expensive. but i love it still. its got a name that i like. folds up too. loading is weird at first but easy to adjust the law 12 is a great variant of that gun. i perfer it over alot of shotguns. m4 is a great gun too. but the new 5 round version is missing the extra rounds. unless your special and get the full capacity ---

I’d buy the M4 before the Spas. Just a better shotgun all around, with the M4 being beyond reliable as far as the two guns are concerned. With the right hold and trigger pull you can rip off all the rounds VERY fast and controlled too. ---

Honestly that shotgun is a total cluster fuck to operate in my opinion. Yes it’s cool and fun to shoot, but it doesn’t have a safety for all intents and purposes and is very picky about what kind of ammo it will run in semi mode. All of that being said I will never sell mine since I can’t buy another one given current legislation. ---
