I know, right? I'm a big fan of the Cold War and today it weirds me out to see guns like the M202 FLASHs, Steyr AUGs, Galils and other iconic guns in the wrong timepieces.

Plasma Raccoon Actually before the Cuban revolution the Bautista government made an order for FAL's to begin replacing their aging American surplus armaments. After the revolution they were used briefly by the Communists until they could be supplied with Soviet armaments. Instead of destroying them Castro held them in storage until they could supply Communist revolutionaries particularly in Angola where they were sent during the decades long conflict there. So Treyarch, maybe inadvertently, did get that part right.
The depiction of the SPAS-12 in the Half-Life series having a second barrel is indeed incorrect. To get around that I've always figured that in Half-Life 1, Black Mesa produced custom SPAS-12 for military use and for their own security forces, and in Half-Life 2 the Combine studied the Black Mesa incident and did the same (and also lowered the round to 6 for some reason).
@@markyy7698 Rebels use the same SPAS-12s, MP7s, and Pulse Rifles as the Combine, and rebels lived in Ravenholm prior to the headcrab mortars. Grigori likely would have been able to get a hold of a Combine SPAS-12 too.
@McLovin It was an impact grenade, not a missile, and impact grenade launchers really do exist as weapon attachments on guns like sub-machine guns and assault rifles. Look up the M203.
Beretta is also located in Italy. It is the longest firearms manufacturer in the world, first opening business in the 1500s, making arquebus barrels. Personally, my favorite is the Beretta M1938A SMG, it’s perhaps the Ferrari of WWII subguns.
In BFBC2 the slug shotty was basically hitscan, you could take down chopper pilots with it at long range without a scope, and then feel the hate flow through the text chat.
The reason you need to pump the SPAS-12 when using low power rounds is that those rounds do not have enough power to push the bolt back, so it has to be done manually.
Yep. This is the reason why they're always pump action in movies, which resulted in everyone thinking they're pump only guns. They couldn't cycle the blanks so they just pumped them manually on camera.

Bellagio The Ti Family Nah, just import banned for a while. No longer. However, it was banned by name in a Canada literally because it looks scary and was in Jurassic Park.
No... because it was a potentially Automatic Shotgun with a folding stock. The folding stock was the reason. Not the color or the "fear" of the "scary" gun. Stop watching faux news and get your head out of your ass.

To those who are wondering why a pump action would be required to cycle specialist rounds: Aside from obviously being a more reliable means of cycling shots, some specialist rounds don't quite have enough power behind the shot to bring the recoil operation of the semi-auto configuration all the way back. Thus a manual operation would be more suited.
First of all, your spelling and grammar is atrocious. Next, you are incorrect. The term "weight" refers to the gravitational effect that is applied to a particular object. The term 'heavy" is an adjective used to describe the weight or effort required to affect a particular object. As a result, any object with significant weight will also have significant heaviness. Also, I would like to point out that brain mass does not directly correlate with intelligence.

w00dmii5t3r It's called a buffer. It's also not necessarily unique to the AA-12, just about every automatic weapon, from machineguns to pistols, will have a buffer in some form. The AA-12 takes a bit of inspiration from Eugene Stoner and his AR-10/AR-15 rifles in that the buffer tube is directly in line with the rest of the action (unlike say, an FAL or an M1 Garand/M14, where it's angled), and is placed in an area where it the weapon will recoil directly back into the shoulder, rather than above, where the butt would roll up the shooter's shoulder.

Am i the only one that kinda doesn't like the spas in stalker? It seems pretty weak and innacurate for some reason. Db shotgun or dao-12 is better imo :P
thepeps101 I love the SPAS :P We are different. Though I do like the Double Barreled too. Also, the good old Mossberg is a VERY light and VERY tough shotgun :)
thepeps101 In CoP? Cause Clear Sky and SoC dont have always superior shotguns :) Yes the Carabineer is a good gun. I use the Predator though (unique Mossberg).
I come back to this series every once in a while, the effort you put in to make these really shows, I enjoy hearing the story of the firearm almost endlessly, and my appreciation for their in game appearances is expanded. Thank you Stu, I love your work (all of it) and hope that for as many years as you can and want to, you keep producing videos
I agree, I have never seen a more iconic shotgun than the SPAS-12. Even though the Remington 870 has a distinct look as well, and is popular among gun enthusiasts, the thing with the SPAS-12 is that it also has a distinct look that is recognized by anyone. There's just no other shotgun that looks like it.
I had no idea that the SPAS iconic silhouette was because of a folding stock. I assumed it was a quirk of it's Russian design, but the damned thing is an Italian weapon! I learned a lot today, Stu.
It has to be said that these videos are masterfully edited and narrarated. I especially enjoy the color-scheme of the videos reflecting the flag of the country of the weapons' origin.
I just can't get over the fact that the majority of these iconic gun videos always have my favorite game ever in them showing the weapon in action: Black Ops 1!
Some of Half Life 2's guns really bug me. You got the inexplicable double fire of the SPAS, and the MP7's phantom grenade launcher. Also the Combine rifle's poker chip magazines which for some reason you can't hold more than a few of them in that big box.
The SPAS' strange behaviour probably was for videogamey purposes, it kinda reminds me of a Shotgun + Double barrel shotgun combo from Doom. The MP7 having a 'nade launcher probably had to do with the fact that they wanted another SMG like the MP5 from HL1. At first they were going to have the OICW shooting grenades, but they made a last minute change (scrapped the OICW) and assigned that secondary fire to the MP7, not modifying the model in the process. And the Combine's Overwatch rifle has actually a scrapped weapon's model that fired a single round before reloading and they just reused it.
@@FonzSuda7403 Based on the worldmodel of both the grenade and the SMG, the grenade is almost as thick as the gun itself. But might as well have to do with visibility, who knows. Haven't done much research about the why of each model, so I wouldn't go much further with this discussion, as it could be pointless lmao. All I gathered was from a wiki and might not be complete.
When the stock is unfolded, you swing the hook to the side. The hook goes under your arm and the weight of the front of the gun holds it firm around your arm. The recoil isn't very harsh one handing it.
No, it doesn't. What you think is the second barrel is actually the magazine tube. I don't know how Valve came to the conclusion that the SPAS-12 was capable of firing two shots at once, but it's evident that they're not gun-savvy.
@@isalt5 I don't think Valve wanted it to be realistic, they just wanted to add the two shot firing to make it easier to kill something at close range.
Now that the "Assault Weapons ban" has expired you can probably import the Spas15 or an an old Spas12, though they might be classified as "destructive devices" by the ATF
If memory serves, even though the 1994 ban has expired, it's still illegal to import firearms from other countries for civilian purchase. It is, I believe, one of the reasons companies like Glock, and Chiappa, have manufacturing plants in the U.S..
Here is the official ATF rules for importation of firearms: www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atf.gov%2Ffiles%2Ffirearms%2Fguides%2Fimportation-verification%2Fdownload%2Ffirearms-imporation-verification-guidebook--complete.pdf&ei=kPb5VLrKHMSfggSf2oII&usg=AFQjCNFQ5bd11NZuUW0jiX0vedj_onNyhA&sig2=wdTLShcuCNWPP6Si1bIhRQ&bvm=bv.87611401,d.eXY&cad=rja . It allows for importation of firearms covered by the NFA and/or classified as destructive devices, but there are extra hoops to jump through
I love this channel so fucking much. Those little monologues you do at the end of the vid give me the chills and this is some of the most cool and fun content I’ve seen in a while. Thank you for making this stuff.
The SPAS-12 was made in 1979.
How it ended up in Black Ops, a game set in 1968, is also a mystery..
Lack of research in Treyarch's part, I guess.
No kidding, there's a lot of other inaccuracies in that game also. Which is sad to see in a series that use to pride itself on historic accuracy

The one handed drive by brace is so crazy and badass that i'm surprised it does not show up in movies or games. like i'm imaging a scenario where in the back of a swat van one dude equips the brace, another one is like "tf you doin" and then the first guy is like "don't worry...this is what it was made for!" then mows down 5 bad guys on motorbikes
Robert Muldoon: **actually unfolds the stock**
Velociraptors: I'm gonna do what is called a pro gamer move
in payday 2 you can put a stock on the spas, with several benefits, but god it looks out of place on the iconic gun. i love the folded up stock look.
the funny thing is that you hav to pay just for opening a stock
+dario cardaci You probably have to pay for the oil to get those rusty hinges going again since it hasn't been opened in so long...
+Nick Dawson lmao
Every single weapon with folded stock man, every single one.
Sven Coop's Spas 12 does both pump and semi auto.
So does the real one...
David Chang that's cuz half life is awesome.
Nah it cuz the Sven Coop devs wanted a more realistic depiction, they added server commands to switch it back to the Half Life standard though.
not all servers unfortunetly
I love how he explained this in Hitman style
“Clever girl”
Me: *starts up primal carnage*
Jurassic Park made me fall in love with this gun. Clever girl indeed!
Mum GET THE CAMERA HE DID THE VIDEO!!! Mum? Mum?...........
mom is dead... rip mom

But thanks to the SPAS 12, she looked cool while doing it.

Fakus Namus Damn,Right!
5:35 was that...... TACHANKA?
Can't be... he was killed to easy
Jesus was killed, but he came back.
He just killed Tachanka like he was nothing
@@yoboikamil525 nah that was tachankas brother tachinka

0:12 tell that to the mainstream media
i wait and hope for a uzi episode =)
slayTW MINIGUN is next son :D
the BlackShadow I KNOW I KNOW XD
im hoping for after this.
That weapon is Israelian, Not happening ;-)
***** he allready did episodes on the uzi. just not as detailed as this ...so it will most likly will.... =) you poor poor thing.
Senior Omar why are you trying to make snese with this guy XD look at is name and icon. is as dumb as a box of rocks.
You forgot STALKER's SPAS :( :(
Though it is actually grey in colour. Hmm...
I was thinking the same thing
Am i the only one that kinda doesn't like the spas in stalker? It seems pretty weak and innacurate for some reason. Db shotgun or dao-12 is better imo :P
thepeps101
I love the SPAS :P
We are different.
Though I do like the Double Barreled too. Also, the good old Mossberg is a VERY light and VERY tough shotgun :)
Alexander Yordanov I want to like the Spas :( The uniques are better though
thepeps101
In CoP? Cause Clear Sky and SoC dont have always superior shotguns :)
Yes the Carabineer is a good gun. I use the Predator though (unique Mossberg).
I come back to this series every once in a while, the effort you put in to make these really shows, I enjoy hearing the story of the firearm almost endlessly, and my appreciation for their in game appearances is expanded. Thank you Stu, I love your work (all of it) and hope that for as many years as you can and want to, you keep producing videos
God that into theme always gets me! I just can’t help but Vibe every time the title card shows up
I agree, I have never seen a more iconic shotgun than the SPAS-12. Even though the Remington 870 has a distinct look as well, and is popular among gun enthusiasts, the thing with the SPAS-12 is that it also has a distinct look that is recognized by anyone. There's just no other shotgun that looks like it.
I like being called a Spaz in my sub-box.
0:39 exactly!!! What's the deal???
I've been enjoying these stories of yours, very well produced, and makes you not want to take your off to witness the whole thing.
I had no idea that the SPAS iconic silhouette was because of a folding stock. I assumed it was a quirk of it's Russian design, but the damned thing is an Italian weapon! I learned a lot today, Stu.
Instant like + hype when is see an xboxahoy video! 10/10 would watch again
It has to be said that these videos are masterfully edited and narrarated. I especially enjoy the color-scheme of the videos reflecting the flag of the country of the weapons' origin.
I just can't get over the fact that the majority of these iconic gun videos always have my favorite game ever in them showing the weapon in action: Black Ops 1!
Some of Half Life 2's guns really bug me. You got the inexplicable double fire of the SPAS, and the MP7's phantom grenade launcher. Also the Combine rifle's poker chip magazines which for some reason you can't hold more than a few of them in that big box.
The SPAS' strange behaviour probably was for videogamey purposes, it kinda reminds me of a Shotgun + Double barrel shotgun combo from Doom.
The MP7 having a 'nade launcher probably had to do with the fact that they wanted another SMG like the MP5 from HL1. At first they were going to have the OICW shooting grenades, but they made a last minute change (scrapped the OICW) and assigned that secondary fire to the MP7, not modifying the model in the process.
And the Combine's Overwatch rifle has actually a scrapped weapon's model that fired a single round before reloading and they just reused it.
you never noticed the 2nd barrel on the mp7?
@@FonzSuda7403 Isn't that 2nd barrel too small?
@@DyaMetR could be a thinner grenade
@@FonzSuda7403 Based on the worldmodel of both the grenade and the SMG, the grenade is almost as thick as the gun itself. But might as well have to do with visibility, who knows. Haven't done much research about the why of each model, so I wouldn't go much further with this discussion, as it could be pointless lmao. All I gathered was from a wiki and might not be complete.
Why is this gun just so damn sexy ? Also that's what the hook is used for.
so you would have sex with a spas-12? o.O
I would but i dont think the barrel is big enough and im worried what could happen if i stuck it in the feed tube.
Mrchese97 ok then, I won't judge.
When the stock is unfolded, you swing the hook to the side. The hook goes under your arm and the weight of the front of the gun holds it firm around your arm. The recoil isn't very harsh one handing it.
Pedro Tenório Why thank you. I will not judge you in your sexual activities as well.
i sure miss new videos from you. these firearms videos are the BEST on youtube. just cant beat the history lessons here.
This guy’s voice just makes everything sound infinitely more badass
Talk nerdy to me.
Nice glasses

"Clever girl."
I love you, you genius you!
These intros give me shivers everytime
This dude is the only guy I'd ever willingly watch ads for, seeing how theres so few of them and the content is worth it.
Always use the SPAS-12 in all games that have it and I always find it to be my best weapon. This gun is bae.
"And why doesn't anyone unfold he stock?"
EXACTLY
because it looks cooler with a folded stock. go ask why you can aim down sights a sawedoff shotgun without breaking your nose instead
TheRyderShotgun I always thought the stock was its iron sights.
Last time somebody had an unfolded stock he was eaten by raptors
2:14 heavy expensive
Ne:Vietnam flashbacks in tf2
Where is the second barrel in the HL2 SPAS??
And where is the grenade launcher in the MP7???
No, it doesn't. What you think is the second barrel is actually the magazine tube.
I don't know how Valve came to the conclusion that the SPAS-12 was capable of firing two shots at once, but it's evident that they're not gun-savvy.
@@isalt5 I don't think Valve wanted it to be realistic, they just wanted to add the two shot firing to make it easier to kill something at close range.
@@isalt5 the Combine modified weapons such as the smg, the pistol, and the shotgun for their own use
@@mike7DILFLUVR
Yeah but then explain the first Half Life????
@@vinkhe861 No idea, the spas in Half Life 1 is not very accurate to the irl counterpart
Now that the "Assault Weapons ban" has expired you can probably import the Spas15 or an an old Spas12, though they might be classified as "destructive devices" by the ATF
If memory serves, even though the 1994 ban has expired, it's still illegal to import firearms from other countries for civilian purchase. It is, I believe, one of the reasons companies like Glock, and Chiappa, have manufacturing plants in the U.S..
***** As I said, "if memory serves." But, I'm not sure if Sig has a U.S. manufacturer or not, either, since I'm not a big fan..
Here is the official ATF rules for importation of firearms: www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atf.gov%2Ffiles%2Ffirearms%2Fguides%2Fimportation-verification%2Fdownload%2Ffirearms-imporation-verification-guidebook--complete.pdf&ei=kPb5VLrKHMSfggSf2oII&usg=AFQjCNFQ5bd11NZuUW0jiX0vedj_onNyhA&sig2=wdTLShcuCNWPP6Si1bIhRQ&bvm=bv.87611401,d.eXY&cad=rja . It allows for importation of firearms covered by the NFA and/or classified as destructive devices, but there are extra hoops to jump through
***** That's why I buy American firearms. Except my Chiappa 1887.. That things just sexy..
***** But you can severely injure or kill someone with a shotgun, so by definition isn't it an "assault weapon"?
This is my favorite shotgun.
Me too
Along with the Super Shotgun and AA 12, the SPAS 12 are some of my favorite shotguns to use in game.
*_"IT'S A F**KING ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN, VINCENT!"_*
No, a shotgun is not anti-aircraft.
@@James35142 It's a movie quote...
Clever girl! Jurassic Park, thats one of my favorite scenes.
The Jurassic Park quote was the best thing ^_^
The rear folded stock so memorable
Geez I love that kind of narration, man. Keep it up!
Ahoy: The SPAS-12 is a very powerful close range shotgun.
My game: Ever heard of long range pump shotguns?
It shoots a little further than you might think
Your game is probably trash
You've still got the great voice :D
This guy can make a carrot sound like a Killing machine
One of the most awesome looking shotguns. Definitely up there with the 1887 lever action, the trenchbroom, and the double barrel for me.
3:56 "But games almost never seem to implement this."
*Laughs in Phantom Forces*
Saiga-12 is better then spas in phantom.
@@rodguidry2223 ok auto shotgun noob
@@hqq936 HEY I DIDNT SAY AA-12!
I prefer arsenal but both are good.
@@hqq936 If he's using a semi auto shotgun his KDR is way above 4.0, so who is the noob really?
This is my second favorite shotgun of all time. I like the AA-12 Automatic Shotgun just a bit better.
This videos opening is just the best
I used the the SPAS-12 in 007: Nightfire for PS2. It's the only game I know that can alternate the firearm's firing mode between pump and semi.
"Clever Stu" *gets mauled by raptors*
Another quality episode!
It's really you! Remember Feb. 18, someone said it was their birthday? That's me! I just changed my name...
Hello :)
I have an idea for Cod vs. Cod. The Bulldog!
The spas12 is a Italian masterpiece
I love this channel so fucking much. Those little monologues you do at the end of the vid give me the chills and this is some of the most cool and fun content I’ve seen in a while. Thank you for making this stuff.
