The SPAS 12 also known as the Spaz 12, S.P.A.S. 12 and Combat Shotgun is an automatic shotgun that appear in the following games:

"Extremely powerful shotgun. Could stop an elephant. And has. Used in Vice City on other things. With devestating results."

Description

The weapon's gas-powered repeater system generally holds seven shells in the undertube of the gun. The gun shoots in a fully automatic mode in the GTA Vice City rendition, however this feature was removed in later installments, presumably to curb the gun's power. The shotgun is not commonly found throughout the games; in GTA Vice City, only one Ammu-Nation sells the gun, at the extreme price of $4000, with a similar situation in GTA San Andreas. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the gun can only be obtained through one spawn location.

This weapon is spelled as "Spaz 12" in the original PS2 version of GTA Vice City and in GTA Vice City Stories; and as 'S.P.A.S. 12' in later versions of GTA Vice City.

-The '''SPAS 12''' (also known as the '''Combat Shotgun''') is an automatic shotgun that can be obtained in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. The weapon's gas-powered repeater system generally holds seven shells in the undertube of the gun, and shoots in a fully automatic mode (excluding GTA San Andreas). Due to the combat shotgun's extreme advantageous performance toward the player in GTA Vice City, [[Rockstar]] changed its settings in subsequent games to balance the weapon out. The shotgun is not commonly found throughout the games. In GTA Vice City, only one [[Ammu-Nation]] sells the gun at the extreme price of $7000, with a similar situation in GTA San Andreas, except that in GTA Vice City it spawns in one location. In GTA Liberty City Stories, there is one spawn location.

-In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the '''Combat Shotgun''' takes the form of a [http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh24-e.htm Remington 11-87] semiautomatic shotgun, with a thumbhole stock, 24-inch barrel with a full ventilated rib, and full-length magazine tube with sling swivels.  The Combat Shotgun holds 10 shells in the magazine, with 70 in reserve.  When the player enters any [[Liberty City Police Department|LCPD]] or [[NOOSE]] vehicle, the player is given this shotgun with five shells, if the slot is not already occupied.
