In multiplayer, it is the first shotgun available to the player. The SPAS-12 is one of three pump action shotguns in the game, the others being the W1200, which is only available in the Museum, and the Masterkey Shotgun attachment, which is unlocked by 20 Grenade Launcher kills with assault rifles.
The SPAS-12 is a popular shotgun due to its high damage and range. Since the update which reduced the range of the Akimbo Model 1887, it has become one of the most used shotguns in online multiplayer. Although it statistically has the second highest range of the shotguns, as the shortened range only counts for Akimbo Model 1887s, whereas if you don't use the Akimbo attachment, it will still retain it's very high range. But the SPAS has a higher rate of fire than the 1887, higher than most people give it credit for.
Some players prefer to use Steady Aim with this weapon because at mid range more pellets will hit doing more damage. However, Steady Aim will actually make a poorly aimed shot more likely to miss as the pellets will cover less area. One possible compromise is to use Steady Aim and fire from the hip at mid range but fire by ADS at short range, as ADS increases the spread of the shot, making it more likely to kill, at the expence of quick movement in CQC when movement is essential. A good strategy is to have Sleight of Hand Pro equipped as Perk 1, because it not only dramatically decreases reload time, but also increases the rate of fire when aiming down the sights, because of the Pro effect.
Extended Mags is the most logical choice for the SPAS-12. Doubling the shell capacity of the SPAS-12 to 16 shells makes it remarkably effective for long term close quater battles. The Grip does lessen the view kick, but the SPAS-12 is already centered by the end of firing cooldown anyway due to its pump action nature, so it's hardly worth using even when firing from the hip. The silencer reduces its range considerably, but it will still have more range than the Rangers. However, the silencer greatly reduces its one shot kill capabilities, being one of the strongest abilities of the SPAS-12. Going against popular opinion, the SPAS-12 with FMJ is glitched in that no extra bullet penetration is added. Also, using alternative optics is uncommon considering ADS increases the spread, thus not contributing to the SPAS-12's power, meaning that many players will replace them for a Grip and/or Extended Mags.

[Death_before_silence]

Naw grip's not that good
Spas aint got that much recoil

[Skyline.]

i use grip with sleight of hand...owns

[Berrbe]

Naw grip's not that good

Considering the grip reduces recoil and all, oh wait.. It just tightens up the spread, which gets even more tight when ADS.
Grip is the way to go unless you're rocking a Spas as a primary since grip makes it come out quicker(Yes, thats what she said..)

qft.
Although i've only played MW2 for 23 hours and im level 59
I know how to play FPS's.
Spas 12 doesn't necessarily need grip because a shotgun's supposed to have a large recoil.
Red Dot Sight, increases precision anyways

[zamasta]

If you're running around with the Spas as your primary then Extended Mags is the way to go but if you just use it as a secondary then use grip.

The recoil's the best part

Live the experience
Worst recoil: WA2000 or Barret fitty cal
for snipers that is

[hugh_who]

na wa-2000 has no recoil i think interventions got the most recoil but its spread over time where as barrett is quick get it over and done with recoil.
