The Franchi SPAS-12 is a unique dual-mode shotgun, capable of both semi-automatic and pump-action operation, designed for tactical use. Its development involved overcoming design challenges like recoil spring placement to accommodate a folding stock. Importation to the US faced significant legal hurdles due to firearm legislation like the Assault Weapons Ban.
The Franchi SPAS-15 is presented as an evolution of the SPAS-12, featuring a crucial switch between semi-automatic and pump-action modes for versatile ammunition use. Key improvements include a detachable box magazine for faster reloads and easier type-switching, and a cost-effective stamped sheet metal receiver. Its unique safety system also acts as a slide lock in pump mode, automatically disengaging upon cycling.
