Black Ops 2 marks this unusual automatic shotgun's first appearance in the Call of Duty series, and it is unlocked at level 52. The SRM Arms M1216 is a relatively new weapon, having only seen introduction in 2012. Of US origin, the design is unusual for its rotary magazine design: instead of a conventional fixed tube, it has four fixed together in a rotating group. This extends the weapon's capacity tetrafold, and allows the real variant to quickly switch between four different types of 12 gauge ammunition, as the situation dictates. While this does increase weight, it does grant four tubes of four rounds in a single weapon, for 16 rounds in total. Such high capacity and flexibility in ammunition types holds appeal for police units and tactical use: similar to the KSG, with its 14 rounds spread across switchable twin tube mags. In-game, per-shot damage is high by most standards but the lowest for the shotgun class: while the M1216 is certainly capable of one-shot kills, it's not wise to rely on them. Range is particularly limited: with the weapon's reach identical to the S12's, at joint bottom of the shotgun league. This means the M1216 is very much a close-range weapon, as one might expect from a shotgun: and like most others in its class, its penetration ability is very poor. The M1216's key strength is in its output - as the only fully-automatic shotgun, it spews shells at a rate of 468 rounds per minute, Due to the unique nature of the weapon's magazine, however - you may only fire four shots at this rate, before the weapon requires rechambering. The process takes a little over half a second, leaving you unable to fire and thus vulnerable: so it's worth firing a full salvo of four shots every time, to ensure maximum lethality and to otherwise prepare for another full set of shots. With the rechamber, your tot
