soup du jour?
| Gorgeous. Still the best looking semi/pump shotgun in my opinion. |

| Clever girl. Very nice! I don't care what the detractors say, they're iconic. Best shotgun ever made? No. But iconic all the same.

| THE shotgun of the late 80’s through mid-90’s…Jurassic Park, Terminator, and Dino Crisis on the PlayStation jump to mind. That is awesome you were able to get it functioning - enjoy the snot out of it! Since you have the hook too, single-handed firing while riding a motorcycle is an essential part of practice! |

| A very cool, iconic shotgun. It's a shame that the reality of the SPAS-12 doesn't live up to the fame, as it's a fairly disappointing shotgun to actually operate, being overly complex, heavy, a bit unreliable, and clunky/unergonomic. quote: Originally posted by Creeping_Death:

To be pedantic, the SPAS-12 was in the first Terminator, which didn't involve firing from a motorcycle. The shotgun wielded one-handed on a motorcycle was in the second Terminator, and was a lever action Winchester 1887.  |

Thank you - I had the right scene in my head, but had the wrong gun. It was the AR-18 he shot from the motorcycle in Terminator 1 when chasing Kyle and Sarah. The SPAS got its camera time during the police station clearing. |
