The AA-12 is a unique shotgun, as it is fully automatic and uses a box magazine. It has an 8-shell magazine capacity, which is doubled when the Extended Magazines attachment is used, which balances the weapon's power and speed. The AA-12 empties its magazine far more quickly than it reloads, though this is slightly offset when Sleight of Hand is utilized. Since it uses magazines rather than individual shells, it is reloaded faster than any other shotgun in the game. The attachments for this shotgun are very useful but you just forget about the silencer because it cuts the range t about 5-10 yards. Also some people may choose to use the red dot sight or holographic because the iron sight takes up most of the screen. Extended mags is the most used attachment on the AA-12 and think is the best. Also something to think about is how much ammo you'll need so definitely use scavenger when ever using the AA-12. It is highly recommended to hip fire the AA-12, since precision is usually unnecessary, and the iron sights are very large. It is also notable that with the Grip attachment, the AA-12's switch time is noticeably quicker than without the grip.
