I love playing with shotguns. I’ve still not unlocked the 1887’s but they’re getting hit with the nerf bat next patch so we’ll leave those for another time. What I have done though is gotten my ass kicked a lot using the other three. For a comparison of the AA-12, SPAS-12 and the striker read on!

SPAS-12

The SPAS-12 looks really badass. When you think of action movie shotgun this is the one that comes to mind. In Modern Warfare 2 it has very high damage, great range and a lower rate of fire than the other two. This gun will 1 shot kill your opponents which is the main reason I like this thing so much.

If you get the first shot off close range you can be confident that your opponent is going to go down. I can’t aim worth shit mind you so if you’re like me the next option might be a little better for you.

AA-12

If you absolutely have to kill every motherfucker in the room and you can’t really aim then this is the gun for you. Its fully auto, which means you just hold the trigger down point it in the general direction you think a guy is in and start unloading.

A great way to use this is to start firing just as you start strafing around a corner where you know some baddies are going to be. you’re already unloading shells when they become visible. I like this I really do, but I find I tend to blow the whole load at once, which means I have to spend time reloading a lot between kills. The SPAS-12 doesn’t have this problem.

Striker

The best way to describe the striker is a blend between the other two. Not as high a rate of fire as the AA-12, not as much damage as the spas-12 but it holds a lot of shells and is still full auto. You’ll be 2 shotting with this gun without using stopping power and you’ll have enough shells to deal with a crowded situation.

Only downside is this gun takes forever to reload.

  1. i prefer the AA-12, but i would use scavenger becuase it eats ammo quickly. Sometimes it can kill an enemy with one shot, but i spray it everywhere just in case it don’t

  2. spas 12 owns both of these guns at range and power.

  3. I am gonna have to try out the spaz, but thus far the aa12 gets total win on kills for me. I can mob into a room scarface style with stopping power extended mags, and steady aim, and hip fire a whole team into oblivian. IT seems that the spas is the better choice for a more cautious player, where as I tend to be the “I’m tony f(&%(*ng montana, I take your bullets” variety of run and gun. I don’t stab, but the aa12 isn’t much better than getting stabbed considering how close ya gotta be.

  4. depends on the kind of pplayer you are..i like the aa12 and the spas12, forget the striker. i never use that gun cus its not that good compared to the other 2. but the spas does have pretty good range with stopping power

  5. The Spas is the top shotgun out of them 3 because it has more damage and more Range.

  6. Spaz everytime I mean I don’t know how people don’t realize how hardcore the spaz is

  7. i give edge to the AA12
    because of its kill capacity
    it doesnt matter how much you injure a person
    its how many kills you get

  8. i would choose aa-12 because it is automatic and thats one bad ass shot gun

  9. in modern warfare 2 aa-12 shotgun
    is not as good
    as the aa-12 in gta iv balled
    of gay tony

  10. aa 12 will eat you up

  11. aa 12 will eats the other two guns for breakfast
