AA-12

The AA-12 is an automatic shotgun designed in 1972.

The whole use of the weapon is to demolish tons of weak enemies fast, this gun is unlocked relatively late game so you are gonna have some backup ammo. When the AA-12 is used, it shoots powerful shells that are good for sweeping spiders and other common weak enemies like slashers and regulars.

There is a misconception that the gun uses a special feature that 'attracts' nearby enemies which is why it isn't so common but that applies to all guns because that's how enemy AI works.

Another reason why the AA-12 isn't so common is because, it is reltivley earned late game meaning that you will have to use alternative heavy class weapon (DB shotgun) or just use a different class weapon. With most late game guns the AA-12 is very powerful and a potential sweeper for the current stage of the game.

It is recommended to use the gun in groups as you probably steal some of the kills.
