In this episode we're covering the third Shotgun - the SPAS-12.
It's a semi-automatic weapon, and is unlocked at level 24.
The Franchi Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun, or the SPAS-12, hails from Italian arms manufacturer, Luigi Franchi.
First produced in 1979, the weapon is unusual in that it can be used in both a semi-automatic and pump-action mode.
This means the SPAS-12 can fire cartridges that otherwise might lack the power to cycle a semi-automatic weapon - such as less-than-lethal rounds or tear gas.
In spite of this versatility, the dual-mode operation adds weight and complexity to the weapon - adding to its expense and limiting its suitability to niche roles.
It was the 'lack of sporting purpose' that led to the weapon being banned from import in the United States, making the SPAS-12 a rare weapon known for its distinctive appearance and prolific presence in cinema.
The tube magazine holds 8 rounds, making the SPAS-12 the shotgun with the highest capacity in Black Ops.
The cartridge fired is your standard 2 and 3-quarter inch 12-gauge cartridge, as usual for a weapon in this class.
Damage in-game is low compared to the Olympia and Stakeout - although the SPAS-12 is entirely capable of killing in one shot, you'll notice it will take 2 or 3 shots to kill towards the end of your effective range.
Thankfully the low damage is balanced somewhat with a good rate of fire and healthy magazine - as a semi-auto weapon you can usually rely on getting the shots you need on target in relatively short order.
312 rounds per minute is less than most semi-automatic weapons, but with the close-range power of the SPAS-12, it's more than adequate.
Aim time is quick at 200 milliseconds, but the iron sights are very obstructive on the SPAS-12 - so it's fortunate that hipfiring is almost always the way to go, especially if you're using Steady Aim.
Reload is done shell-by-shell, and is a little slower than the Stakeout - especially if you have to replenish the entire 8-round magazine.
Still, reloading can be cancelled partway should you run into trouble, and if done with care should seldom result in your death.
While silenced shotguns aren't new to the Call of Duty series - the suppressed SPAS-12 is notable in that the Suppressor does not impact your effective range in any way.
Given that you'll be spending a lot of time in close proximity to your enemy, the suppressor is invaluable in keeping you alive - there's really no excuse not to use it.
For that reason, my attachment recommendation for the SPAS-12 is simple: Use the suppressor.
For your equipment, in the absence of Marathon, Tactical Insertions are very, very useful.
As a ghost with a shotgun, spawning in an unexpected place will often work to your advantage.
With the ability to cancel the insertion spawn should it be compromised, the risks of spawning so close to the enemy can be mitigated - and in my experience most enemies will be entirely unaware that the blinking light will soon spell their doom.
Careful movement is a core skill for any stealth class - rather than rushing blindly into combat, instead you must bide your time, watch the radar and get a sense for your enemy's position.
There's more to stealth than prowling in the shadows, however - and you'll need to perform a fair bit of manoeuvring to get into an ideal position.
Striking from the flank or rear is absolutely the best approach with any suppressed weapon, so in some cases you'll need to take the long way round to ensure a better chance at a successful strike.
You'll want to avoid central, open areas - most of them will leave you exposed across multiple angles, and at ranges where you won't be competitive - instead move as much as possible through less-trafficked areas of the map, and covered locations and interiors.
The SPAS-12 is a potent stealth weapon, unique in that it's the only shotgun with the suppressor attachment available - and unusual in that it doesn't hamper the weapon's performance.
This combination of a close range one-hit kill and the suppressor makes it a devastating weapon when employed against inattentive foes - allowing you to strike a group from the flank or rear and destroy them all before the last realises their demise.
As with all the shotguns though, your limited range is your downfall - and if you're caught outside it you won't stand much of a chance.
Even at close range it's important to maintain the element of surprise, as the SPAS-12's lower damage might mean you'll need multiple shots on target to secure the kill. Faster follow-up shots mean the weapon is more forgiving of poor aim - and more suited to dislodging defenders and clearing rooms.
If played to its strengths there's no doubting its effectiveness in close quarters - and when paired with the suppressor the SPAS-12 is silent - but deadly.
SPAS-12's only weakness are flanking raptors
Stridus7 i like dis
Only partially true. It's only weak to flanking raptors if you unfold the stock.
Stridus7 lol. God that movie is old.
Clever girl
Unless you are Lara Croft
0:10 Clever girl. For those who didn't get it, it was said by a hunter named Muldoon
in the film "Jurassic Park". His intention was to "hunt" raptors, but this decision proved fatal. He spots a raptor and gets in position to aim. But whilst he was preparing to take down one raptor, a second raptor pops its head out from a bush to his left. Unprepared and easy prey he subtly says "Clever girl". And that is what Stu was referencing.
Thanks for the reference.
np :D
Yes it was Angle Dias. I should have been clear about that.
Zack Gibbs I think to make things clear for the few people who have never seen Jurassic Park, the Hunter Muldoon used the SPAS-12 when he was hunting the raptors.
1 800 wish.
It was his weapon of choice and seemingly the standard weapon in Jurassic Park. It's a great movie that any 90s kid has a spot in their heart for and probably watched as a kid. The special effects are fantastic even by today's standards and the biological understanding even back in 1992 when they knew about DNA, gene sequencing and amino acids and how they were coded made a great movie rooted in plausible science.
My favorite voice talking about my favorite gun. What's not to like? IDEA! Ahoy, you should be the voice of the Enterprise main-frame in the next Star Trek movie!
Jeezus this is like a yt time capsule I swear.
Bruh was not expecting to see you here
I have good news, he made a whole video on the real gun.
My favourite TH-camr commenting about my favourite gun, what’s not to like?
Bo1 was just such a solid, awesome game. I wish they'd bring something like that back.
You know, there are still a solid 25,000 people playing that game online
Lee Finkel 43 k today
ayoub kazdafi On PSN I think there are about between 17K - 21K players.
Ryan Rasul hi
Ryan Rasul Yea totally, aside from the completely useless lmgs, shotguns, sniper rifles, and micro smgs. Seriously, if you weren't using an AR or the AK74-u, you were fuk'd
This gun fits well with an Anti Camper Class I made especially in small maps. Here's the load out:
SPAS-12 w/ Silencer
Python Or CZ-75 Full Auto
Flak Jacket
Steady Aim Pro or Sleight of Hand
Marathon Pro
Jammer (Place this nears spot where you know could find campers to disable the enemy equipment)
Give it a Try! if you play this correctly you can decimate Campers and works very well on small maps like Nuketown or Firing Range.
i will try this
Vic Robbins so, i just bought it and i suck with it really bad, will i get better? im pretty good with other weapons, my fav is famas or ak47u, and with them i got better over time, but im not sure about spas12
+Simon Kobe I doubt it. you sound like a guy who favors high fire rates. shotguns might not be your strong suit.
thx but i suck at cod now :(
thx but i suck at cod now :(
10 years later & I'm still beasting with this OP Shottie!
Can I have your enemies?Mine fire back.
***** but still, mine fire back imidiatly and kill me as soon as they see me, his are always aiming and looking away
That's what happens when you're stealthy: nobody knows that you exist, so they don't aim (let alone fire) at you >:3
Vicki Young You can try going against me. I'm doing the "money" challenge, where you buy absolutely nothong after you prestige. So that's why I'm still running MP5K and Makarov
Vicki Young Its a highlight reel bro
Sure go into a custom and play recruit bots like this guy
The fact that this video is already 11 years old is incredibly depressing. Time flies, doesnt it?
Hello, this is Soap and welcome to my Black Ops weapon guide. Let's do this.
I liked the dragons breath.
That was a fun mission i sat on top of bottom feeder and set off the heli strafing runs like a guy sitting out of a tank aiming tank shells my main gripe is probably the first part in the macv sog building it was very tough but it was the best spot for the ammo
Thanks dogmeat
Black Ops' shotgun balance is weird. You have the SPAS-12, a very easy to use and effective shotgun, but the three other shotguns had insanely quirky and unique advantages.
weakestlink20 Loved that game
weakestlink20 I wouldn't say that balance is weird. it makes everything you use have a clear distinction
Sean Ellis The SPAS-12 is far and away the easiest to use due to how big its magazine capacity is, suppressed fire, and its semi-auto fire. The fallback option if you are indecisive. The SPAS-12 is the weakest per trigger pull up close and can't be dual wielded.
The Olympia has the greatest damage per shot within ranges short of ten meters and is semi-auto. However, reloading is a pain.
The Stakeout is accurate and has a good range, with good damage up to about eight meters. However, you're screwed if you hitmark.
The HS-10s are short-range devastators that reload quickly and expend ammo even more quickly. However, your range is pitiful.
well the spas 12 has terrible iron sights ingame to offset how easy it use to use it.
kstanni87 The only shotgun that's worth aiming the sights with is the Stakeout if you ask me. The other shotguns have too slow of a strafe speed, and the SPAS-12's hip-fire cone is a decent enough size, same goes to the Olympia and Stakeout. Aiming the HS-10 is stupid since you're using a solo HS-10.
Like if you got the Jurassic Park reference as soon as you heard it!
I was thinking Jurassic Park before I clicked on the video, so it brought a smile to my face when "Clever girl" were the first words he uttered.
Clever Girl...
6:37 DAMMIT! DON'T TELL THEM TO DO THAT!?!
There's more to stealth than prowling in the shadows, however. And you'll need to perform a fair bit of maneuvering to get into an ideal position.
Striking from the flank or rear is absolutely the best approach with any suppressed weapon.
I played with this loadout on Hazard, a long-range, mainly sniper map, and never performed better in my life. Absolutely amazing.
I don't even play CoD anymore and I still return to these videos for nostalgia
Omg XD "clever girl". That's from Jurassic park xD
Go fuck your self
+McKinley Graves you must be a very lonely person
^
is your profile pic from porn
Yo it's Steve your not human
"Clever girl"- Robert Muldoon, Jurrasic Park
Oh at the end when he says somethin' clever, I thought he was gonna say the spas 12...... Will spaz out your enemies
Just for the fact that you can use a supressor without getting any drawback on a SHOTGUN makes it one of the best shotguns in all CoD Series. You can easily sneak behind a high group of people and kill, without appearing on the radar. Love it. And it has a decent rate of fire, with decent damage and decent mag.
watching these vids in 2021 and their still entertaining and informative, good work Ahoy (2021 gang)
The first one I ever heard to spell right "FranKi" and not "Franci".
3:16
Sniper: Yeah I got the Tac Ins!
Gets killed.
XboxAhoy: No.
Nostalgia.
the music was awesome and it gets you pumped with the clips XD
i almost forgot how good and entertaining your guides are... i am playing a bo1 again and i had to check them out again.
they need to raster BO1. same gameplay and physics, just improved sounds and graphics
One thing i never understood is why not also have a Grip attachment and let that be the folding stock the SPAS-12 has? Or is that just a stupid idea?
Recoil reduction and improved iron sight
I wish. It looks cooler with the stock out
I agree
SAHAR Ma you on ps3?
@@tylerstevens6295 no
I run lightweight pro, marathon pro, and SOH pro, especially on TDM. I could see you doing that class on SnD..
i run lightweight, soh, and ninja on mine.
This is my favorite weapon. No drawbacks using a suppressor, large magazine chamber, and the fact that shotguns now cancel out Second Chance makes the spas-12 my favorite weapon. Also it helps that I love to rush.
I love how you opened the video with "Clever Girl". I didn't realized the SPAS-12 was the Shotgun used in that movie.
This guy sounds like captain price lol
"the spas 12 is silent "
puts on sunglasses
"but deadly"
YEAHH!!!!!
"clever girl."
I use the SPAS without a silencer, I know it doesn't help my gameplay, but I love the loud noise.
No shooter is complete without this gun all the good ones have it, infact before I even unlocked this gun I knew I would love it because it's always so great in every game
Actually, the weapon is Federally legal in America again. It's just banned in specific states, such as commiefornia.
I plan to get one if and when I move out of state. It's a bit over complicated and over priced. But it's still a badass weapon to own.
Commieforia?
MrVictory1200
California... The stupid gun laws here, the super high sales tax, paying to use the carpool lane, corrupt politicians, gang violence, the fucking Kardasians. There's a lot of bad stuff in California.
walruspictures Justin Bieber too is in California right now according to my uncle… How bad does it get
How about the Spas-15 (kind of the same with a detachable box mag)? Can you even import them? Isn't there some federal crap with the ATF and so-called 'sporting purposes'?
is it available in oregon
i hate putting a supressor on the spas! It just doesnt feel like a spas anymore! Real men go loud with boomsticks.Plus it looks so freaking ugly! it looks like a rocket launcher! Can anyone post a LOUD class with the spas12?
Considering the stats and it's niche not much else would be as effective, being loud with a weapon possessing such paltry range in a game dominated by longer reaching assault rifles seems ineffective
You heard Xboxahoy didn't you? No excuse not to use it.
Yeah guess your right
+Bone Drone But why use the Spas12 when you can just use the Spectre or Mpl smgs?
+Bone Drone With an suppressor
these videos take me back!!
The quote originates from the scene where Muldoon heads through a jungle towards the power bunker. A velociraptor appears in front of him, and Muldoon aims with his SPAS-12, when another velociraptor sneaks up on him. He realizes this was a trap, and applauds the female raptor with 'clever girl' before getting mauled be the raptor.
Good job everyone who said 'it was in Jurassic Park' just because XboxAhoy mentioned it in his commentary.
An incredibly overlooked equipment in black ops' hay-day and still now, is the Jammer, the Jammer can disable equipment from a large distance, and most people either don't notice or assume they have been CUAV'd, it also jams motion sensors from a much greater range than they can detect someone, as a run n' gunner (and regular shotty user) this ability to make a campers defenses worthless was invaluable in my success in Black ops.
no matter how hard I try, I just can't imagine a guy with this kind of voice playing any kind of console game. dude, you should do documentaries!
I love the quips at the end
Same goes for BO1 zombies. The funny thing is, I remember everyone saying how BO1 was bad, and now everyone has come to appreciate it.
@michaelk123eh It's actually a reference to Jurassic Park, when the hunter was about to shoot a Velocirpator with a SPAS-12, but then another one popped up next to him. The raptor the hunter was aiming at was just a distraction, while the other one would find him and kill him, which prompted him to say "Clever girl" before the raptor killed him.
*sigh* whenever I watch your videos, it really makes me want to the play Black Ops, however when I actualy put in the disk and start playing, I realise why I haven't played it for 3 months.
Can't believe nobody pointed this out but: SPAS is short for SPORTING Purpose Automatic Shotgun. It is a combat shotgun but it was given that name in an attempt to convince the U.S. government that it had a sporting purpose and allow it's importation (this has been a semi-successful).
I used to hate this weapon until you showed us how it's done... Now I love it! In fact... Learning to predict enemies while playing with this weapon helps you play the game better in general!! Definitely worth trying at least a few times until you get the hang of it.
His weapon guides make me feel like there's too much strategy in COD
This weapon can be used for speed as well as stealth. It's quick and deadly if used correctly. Lightweight Sleight of Hands and Marathon are very important. In matches where the other team is hiding then yes replace Lightweight with Ghost. You don't need Steady Aim because it's very quick in it's bursts and high mag, plus the more u use it the better ur one shot kills will be.
the ending music is always really intense
Suscribed to an amazing guy with the best weapon guides on youtube!
The SPAS 12 silenced is easily the best gun for Spawn Trapping. When I was using it on Summit the other day, I spotted an enemy Tac. Insertion, and instead of destroying, I just sat there and waited for him to spawn. And when he did, BAM! Shotgun to the balls!
I actually rewatched Jurassic Park because he said "Clever Girl" and I think he said it because if you watch the first scene in the first Jurassic Park movie, the shotgun that the british guy is holding is a Spas-12
I used this with a silencer in demolition (i think or sabotage) and i just defend like a pro. This gun is great to use up close and personal.
been waiting for this for a veryyy loooooong time (:
Black Ops Spas12 one of the funny easter eggs/bugs is that the devs never fully "deployed" the stock is folded on top of the shotgun >.> talk about a wasted attachment 🤣
Because i was following this series when he did this vid,and I remember him explaining why he sounded like this in one of the bonus vids.
I actually tried the spas-12 silenced, lightweight, steady aim, hacker, with an un-silenced cz pistol as secondary, on headquarters, and while it requires some more thought, it certainly pays off, and is a huge change of pace.
when he said Clever Girl i smiled from ear to ear :D
The clip at 6:53-7:14 was just pure skill
The shotgun ghost, what a concept.
Look, you're awesome at everything you have made. One thing is that the suppressor has been patched to do less range...
i use this class all the time and i got 36 - 3 on Kowloon, 32 - 2 on Stadium this is just BEAST
Dude, I love all your videos they're awesome!
Ever since I've seen this video, I've seen much more people running around with the SPAS-12 with the Suppressor, steady aim, AND they hip fire :o.
you can trade steady aim for slight of hand, it helps alot when there are 2 or more enemies around, in case you run dry after you kill the 2
Been using the SPAS suppressed for months. One tip, steady aim is unnecessary, the spread is the same with our without when firing from the hip.
Good luck.
@girthedog41 The 'hook' thing is an extension meant to round out the stock's body without adding much additional weight. I recall it was present in MW2, but not Black Ops.
The primitive iron sight port for the SPAS is also acts as a catch for the folded stock, it's visible in either configuration, although with the exception of close quarters there's little reason to have the stock folded up during use.
As for the next video, we'll go behind the lines, I presume.
I used to freaking hate the SPAS-12..
But now..
I still hate it but you make it sound so freaking epic..
Every weapon you talk about suddenly sound awesome :D
@FoxHimura I know what you mean. The characteristics and overall handling are just fantastic on the M1911 series IRL. Many, including me, love their feel.
@reganko You can pull the right trigger with the Spas-12 to cancel and fire; two faster ways are doing a quick sprint during a reload, or double-tapping the switch weapon button (Y by default on Xbox)
This is so professional! This is amazing I applaud you. I have subscribed and I am looking forward to watch the rest of your videos! P.S. I'm a Ex- Marine and your knowledge still astounds me!
I can't wait for when he does a guide for the Uzi, it would interesting to see what he makes of it.
That's one of the things that give his guides more depth, and make them more enjoyable. If you want to see 360lolscopes, and don't want to learn anything, go somewhere else.
Awesome video and really well made!!
I always wait to hear your mad quote at the end
love the videos
@ScopeSF The bad news is I'm too lazy to work it out too. I guess we'll find out when we get to it :)
You're videos are really helpful!
Just started using the spas 12 today on core demolition with ghost pro, hardened pro and second chance pro. First game I had 44 for 15 :) (xbox 360)
I own the airsoft version of the spas-12 and just like the real one it is quiet and a good stealth weapon. It is also incredibly accurate and affordable.
But it's not the real shotgun so nothing like the Spaz 12 at all. If you ever fired a real shotgun you'll find them to be astronomically loud and NOT stealth weapons.
Props for the Jurassic Park reference; I never realized what gun Muldoon was holding when I watched it as a child.
I love this gun but did not now how to use it right. I would get killed seconds after I got a kill. Now I can use my favorite weapon from MW2 in Black ops. Thanks XboxAhoy.:)
@LcNcKc the reason you use the suppressor it not to be un-detectable(thats a secondary reason) its so that you get a thin and more compact spread of bullets, thus making the gun more potent at mid / long range
@TheHDiizZLe It quotes the scene in Jurassic Park where the hunter is trying to shoot the raptors with a Spaz shot-gun. He gets out flanked by a suprise attack by another member of the raptor pack, and says "Clever Girl" before he is viciously eaten.
more powerful per bullet. Sure you can have a full-auto but there is less bullets and it could be just as good to use pump. The only downside to pump is slow reload. Besides it could be a fun idea to have the select-fire attachtment already on your gun.
My favorite shotgun
u deserve a nobel prize for these videos
When deployed correctly using the right tactics peanut butter can be a devastating mid range weapon :)
Love ur videos
i love this gun. fav shotgun in cod series, but best in this game
My favorite first perk with shottys was always flak jacket cuz of those god damn claymores
this guy could make a sling shot made out of a rubber band and a twig with nerf balls as ammunition sound like a good weapon
thanks for making this, after i watched this i tried out the spas with supressor and i got 30-6 on my first try (in free for all)! this is the first time ive used a shotgun in my whole career (im in 2nd prestige), so thank a ton! :D
@CantoV
Thanks for that Steady Aim tip. I have been using SoH, and I didn't want to give up the fast reload.
Dude your awesome I hit subscribe 1 million times!!
thanks to this, this is probably my default shotgun loadout (although I sometimes switch ninja with Marathon)
You know what you're doing is superb work, but I just wanted to add my voice to the legion of support.
@silyanina Yea his name was Robert Muldoon if I'm remembering that right. He was a big game hunter and worked for Jurassic Park.
0.o this is so well made.... It's like watching the history or military channel...
Also there is a scene in jerrasic park involving a spas 12 which is the first thing that comes up when you type in clever girl
this shotgun is amazing , 1 issue : the iron sights OMFG probably the worst i've ever seen i use steady aim (which is a perk i am not a fan of) just because i want to avoid ADSing as much as possible with it
@Mactridus
Since he is using the silencer, he is making a stealth class. So Ghost fits that choice.
