For me it was Half-Life.
Yes I should have bought one, no I didn’t, dammit.

u/marley_hill 7d ago
Half life may have also played a role too lol

u/IcySkyDream 7d ago
Do you also have a crowbar and Glock 17? 🤭

u/marley_hill 2d ago
I wish :(

u/IcySkyDream 2d ago
The crowbar is easy!
I wish I could sell you one of my Glocks. 😞
Larping is good for everyone’s mental health.

u/stalker_thezone 7d ago
Yeah it was definitely the 1997 half life for me.. i may have to buy one of these soon just for nostalgia

IKR?
I remember being blown away by the OpenGL graphics back then. Minimum requirements were something like a Pentium II 350mhz! I had to take the bus to my friend's place to play it, because my parents made sure my computer was fast enough for work but too slow for games.
I already have the crowbar, Glock 17 Gen3, and MP5 (airsoft). Just need this shotgun and a crossbow. Off-world weapons and grenades might have to wait lol.

The wind's gettin' a bit choppy. You can compensate for it, or you can wait it out, but he might leave before it dies down. It's your call.
Remember what I've taught you. Keep in mind variable humidity and wind speed along the bullet's flight path. At this distance, you'll also have to take the Coriolis Effect into account.

Since MW2 or since jurassic park?
3
u/marley_hill 7d ago
I was aware of its existence before MW2, but its portrayal in that game and use by SandyRavage really cemented it is a grail. Jurassic park also played a role. Same with half-life, black ops, etc.

Where can they be bought ?

u/Mr_Finesser 6d ago
Tactical Imports, sold out within hours but apparently are going to have a restock in 2 - 3 months. Mine just arrived today

u/classicjl513 7d ago
Nice, my dream MW2 gun was the Benelli M4, I'm considering getting an OD green cerakote for mine and currently trying to source a Surefire M80 rail like the one in the OG MW2 but it appears to be unobtainium in Canada lol

u/marley_hill 7d ago
Fuck yeah boss, got the dream gun in the end! Best of luck on your build, might have to buy a CNC machine and start producing them for the Canadian market ;)

See how long it survives before becoming an "Assault Style" firearm by Elbows Up

Huh all this time I though the spas was prohibited by name. Damn shoulda got one back in the day.
7
u/marley_hill 7d ago
It is, but this uses a modified receiver of a NA shotgun so technically not a SPAS. The parts are very similar to the original, but are just different enough to not fit so the libs cant call it a 'variant.' They restock in 2-3 months. Its been fun for the larp so far.

u/ConnectAd5999 7d ago
Have you shot it yet? I am still on the fence about it being that it’s not an actual spas 12 and being a Turkish knock off
3
u/noraku80 7d ago
Knock off or not its the only spas you will ever be able to get.
1
u/ConnectAd5999 7d ago
I get that I just stopped buying knock offs / Turkish that’s just my personal thing but this one’s tempting

u/marley_hill 5d ago
Haven’t shot it yet, but got some ammo today and plan to take it to the range this weekend! Will post updates

How is everyone getting a Shotgun with the "Shoulder thing that goes up" in Canada?

u/yourhandle 7d ago
Something must have changed that I missed, I was under the assumption that the spas-12 and any/all variations of it are prohibited. What changed? Cool to see them around now

Have any spas12 owners found a way to make the stock latches easier to use? Mine are super tight both the stock and the folding latch
1
u/marley_hill 4d ago
So far just opening and closing them a bunch has made them a bit easier. Beat the hell out of my thumb depressing the nubs. I can now (mostly) get the stock open and closed when I want without wrestling the gun to the ground.

i was tempted to pick one of these up simply to yoink the furniture off and put on an actually solidly functional shotgun.

u/StairwayHiker 7d ago
Cool, I’d just never use one.
I got this 13” Federation Firearms SPM 12 pump for hiking here in BC that will shoot anything.
16
u/marley_hill 7d ago
I say this out of love: Please buy a Mossberg 500, or anything more reliable if you are trusting it with your life <3. The spas was bought for looks and annual pumpkin shooting. Otherwise it’s a wall hanger.

u/GodsGiftToWrenching 7d ago
Man that thing is a whole circus, why not just get a Mossberg 590 A1 class III?

u/rastamasta45 7d ago
What was the purpose of your comment? I legit don’t get the hate, the Canadian market finally gets something super cool and I believe the vast vast majority of people buying it are purely for vibes, they’re fully aware that it’s not a workhorse, like why the hate, is it jealously?

u/AsparagusUnhappy5395 7d ago
If I wanted a workhorse I’d get a Benelli. Mine is for blasting at the range. Hopefully I’ll unlock gold camo soon 🙏🏻

Well for some reason every gun you own apparently needs to be war ready or there is no reason to own it. My guns only kill paper, produce, and occasionally aluminum cans. Don't need them to be life or death reliable. When I am at the range most of the time its me and my friends living out stupid shit we saw on TV or in video games. Next project is a COD 2 Mosin :)
Edit because I can already sense fudds are going to get annoying:
Mostly just kitting out weapons to resemble how they are in games (no matter how stupid the config is.) We are still safe otherwise.

u/rastamasta45 7d ago
This! Sometimes I get so sick of the gun community’s singular obsession with “it has to defend my life no matter what” I own way too many guns, like way too many. I have one rifle and one handgun I’d consider my “defend all things I hold dear”. After that every single purchase I made is purely for vibes and lolz.
….im also waiting on my spas12 shipment, wondering where I can do the double barrel shot like Half life s/
