Mossberg & Sons, Inc. - Firearms, Shotguns, Rifles, Accessories, and Precision Machining. Franchi SPAS-15. Design[edit] The weapon is based on the SPAS-12, and has similar pump-action/semi-automatic firing modes.
In semi-automatic mode a gas piston drives a bolt carrier and rotating bolt. In pump-action mode the same components are driven by sliding the fore-end backwards. Pump-action mode is required to reliably fire low-pressure (less lethal) ammunition such as tear gas rounds or less-lethal bean bags. Switching between firing modes is done by pressing a button above the foregrip, and sliding the foregrip slightly forwards or backwards. Unlike its predecessor, the SPAS-15 is fed by a detachable box magazine. Legality[edit] In 1994, the United States banned the importation of the SPAS-15 with close to 180 shotguns imported, but later abolished the relevant regulations.

Franchi SPAS-12. The appearance and intended purpose of the SPAS-12 initially led to its "Military" designation.
The SPAS-12 was designed from the ground up as a rugged military shotgun and it was named the (Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun). In 1990 Franchi renamed the shotgun to (Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun), this allowed continued sales to the U.S. as a limited-magazine-capacity, fixed-stock model until 1994. Following the United States Federal Assault Weapons Ban, imports of SPAS-12 shotguns were stopped to the United States. In September 2004 the ban had expired, but Franchi had ended production in 2000 of the SPAS-12 to focus on the manufacturing of the SPAS-15 model. The SPAS-12's retail price in its final year of 2000 was $1500.00 averaged for final sales outside the U.S. to non-restricted countries.[2] Design[edit] The SPAS-12 has a magazine cut-off feature, which prevents loading a new round from the internal magazine when the gun is cycled.
Variants[edit] U.S. U.S. Users[edit] The Shotgun. The Shotgun Historically, the shotgun has been the most versatile weapon of farmers and ranchers throughout the world.
This is mainly due to the fact that a shotgun can utilize several different types of ammunition. Even repressive governments have allowed their rural citizens to own shotguns, some have even handed them out to their citizens. This do-everything gun can handle almost all hunting and defense chores but does not really shine in any single area, save long range hunting of birds, (where no other type of gun can perform the job very well) and in short range combat where the brute power of a shotgun blast can virtually smash opponents with a hail of lead. Some submachineguns also have this ability, but cannot put as much lead on a single target in a short period of time as a shotgun.
