The SPAS-12 shotgun is one of the least-used weapons in Soldat. It can be classified as a short-ranged weapon by comparison to other weapons, but can also deal lots of damage. If used properly, two shots are able to kill a player (or even one if a perfect headshot from above is performed). It also has a unique reload as opposed to all other Soldat weapons; each shell is reloaded individually, allowing one to fire before all seven shells are reloaded. The SPAS-12 can also be used for more than just massacring; if correctly fired at a teammate, it can boost them and give them far greater momentum. It is also a great escape weapon for the wielder himself; one can shoot backwards to give oneself an extra boost due to the weapon's recoil, allowing one to become faster than normal while also slowing any pursuers' movement simultaneously (its shells push back enemies while doing damage). The boost can also be used to propel forward to enter fray more quickly; in fact, the shotgun's recoil can be used to leap out from underneath the respawn hole in ctf_Kampf. The downside to this boost is if a shotgunner shoots forward in the direction he is going in order to attack someone; this thus slowing down his own momentum. It is also advised to SPAS-12 users to always be higher than the opponent due to the body hit ratios. It is possible to take in one's own bullets if one were to shoot the SPAS-12 directly upward, as its pellets' speed is very slow and short-ranged as opposed to other weapons in the game.
