Overview

The SPAZ-12 is the most destructive shotgun in Vice City — a full-automatic combat shotgun that turns anything in front of you into confetti. Hold the trigger and watch the world disintegrate. It’s the shotgun that thinks it’s a machine gun.

Based on the real-world Franchi SPAS-12, this dual-mode Italian combat shotgun can fire semi-auto or pump-action. In Vice City, it fires full-auto, making it devastating for clearing rooms, hallways, and anything else that’s within 20 feet.

How It Could Tie Into GTA 6

Shotguns will appear in GTA 6, and a modern full-auto shotgun would be the natural successor to the SPAZ-12. The Kel-Tec KSG or a modernized Saiga-12 could fill this role.

The SPAZ-12 is one of the most beloved weapons in Vice City. Its return in any form would be celebrated by fans.

Tactics

Hold the trigger and sweep — the full-auto fire covers a wide area.

Devastating indoors and in vehicles.

Watch your ammo — the fast fire rate burns through shells quickly.
