The SPAS-12 is pretty awesome in games in most iterations, but I've always had a soft spot for the Remington M1100.

Not really great on reload time though, as it's more of a sport shotty then anything else.
I'm disappointed he didn't include a clip of Soldier of Fortune. In it, the SPAS was one of the most reliably powerful weapons and you had it from the very start.

I remember being like 10 and playing SOF at my friends place on his bigbrothers computer and being like "cool, I can knife peoples limbs off"

I was hoping for reference to this
I love the Spas, but I also love the Mossberg Bullpup and the Pancor Jackhammer. I'd say the Jackhammer is probably the more intimidating of the 3.

More intimidating yes but SPAS is hugely popular in movies and games even though it's not very good. SPAS looks nicer from 1st person view than a jackhammer
the jackhammer is an 80s space gun and i wish it was used more
Wasn't the Jackhammer used as the base/receiver for the pulse rifle in Aliens?

To be honest, it's not the fanciest gun but I think it would fit in HL2 gameplay-wise and as a Combine weapon.
i can never shake the feeling that he doesn't actually teach us anything, he just tells us what we want to hear

No, that was a Thompson.
The Jackhammer was in the first Far Cry game, and mock ups of it appeared in Total Recall.

his videos are the definition of preaching to the choir
The HL high definition pack spas-12 has to be my favorite in any game ever.

Sorry for another response but your post put a bug in my head. Now I actually want it in HL2 even though I like SPAS-12.
[QUOTE=Xubs;47274712]the SPAS-12 is such a cool shotgun, I actually think it looks coolest without the fat folding stock on the top. In fact I think it looks best without a stock at all, as it's depicted in Half-Life and Half-Life 2.[/QUOTE]
Nah, I think the folding stock makes it look more menacing.
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;47270399]I think the devs saw the tubular magazine and thought "wow cool, it has two barrels!".[/QUOTE]
That's what I thought when I was younger, because I didn't know dick all about guns back then (and still hardly do now)
I think that the HL2 devs thought that shotguns were spring-loaded
while I don't expect forgotten weapons-tier level of detail, it was ok
also I hate the spas-12
love me some old school 870
When you actually break it down from a performance standpoint a SPAS 12 is a heavier, clunkier, and less reliable Benelli Super, but by God it is the best looking shotgun ever built. From an aesthetic standpoint it's perfect, that blocky imposing heat shield, that iconic stock, but still all the classic features of a shotgun.
next gun is the minigun
this is gonna be good
[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;47286915]next gun is the minigun

Is it gonna me GE's old minigun or one of Dillon Aero's M134 series?
Guess it wont matter, he'll likely run through the list and history of most if not all of them.

The Minigun in Syndicate was fucking [b]godlike[/b]. I expect him to give it some love.

Which is why they end up just short of "great" most of the time.
