The AA-12, or the 'Auto Assault 12', was originally developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson in the United States. The version in game is a modern revision to Atchisson's original design, as produced in 2005 by Military Police Systems, Incorporated. The AA-12, like all the other shotguns, fires the common 12-gauge cartridge. Based on the number of pellets per shot fired, it's likely to be Double-Aught Buckshot. The iron sights are somewhat bulky, but given the limited range of the AA-12 you are unlikely to have any problems aiming. As is typical for the shotguns, the AA-12 is deadly up close, capable of killing in one-shot at point blank ranges. As the AA-12 is fully automatic, the range and damage inflicted is somewhat less than the slower-firing SPAS-12, but two or three shots is normally enough to kill anyone within effective range. The reduced range means you will have to get closer to your enemy to kill them, but there's little that can stop you once you're in range. The automatic fire means the first shot isn't as critical as it is with the SPAS, as if you hold down the trigger you can unleash a further 7 shots in just a couple of seconds. The AA-12 has a relatively small magazine, however - just 8 rounds - so if you waste all of them you will be vulnerable until you reload. The AA-12 works best in situations where you can get close to an enemy before they have a chance to fire upon you. Stopping Power isn't essential with this weapon, as if you're in range holding down the trigger will unleash a deadly hail of buckshot. The key is getting as close as possible - so for your red perk slot Lightweight is by far the best choice. Couple the AA-12 with an SMG for maximum mobility. If you plan on using the AA-12 quite often in a game, you might consider using Sc
