SPAS 12

NOTE: This weapon is spelled differently in versions of Vice City. For the PS2 it is called the 'Spaz 12', it is also sometimes spelled with a hyphen (Spaz-12 or Spas-12)

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 are two spawn locations.
