Spas-12 Reload but Correctly?

I had to watch a few videos and read some manuals, but I think I animated the Spas-12 correctly.

I also used the Hartmann reloading technique for the second loading part.

Some of the sounds I got from Arm&Gun and mixed it with TF2 and MW sounds

For the second reload, I did something called “twin loading” where you put two shells in your fingers and load them into the gun at the same time.

You could've reloaded it faster if you just lowered it offscreen, dubbed in a stock reloading sound, and then raised up a fully loaded shotgun. That's how the old pros used to do it, after all.

Glad more people are realizing that the Spas-12 has a different reload then other shotguns.

Pump action, semi auto, using the bolt release, and even animating light struggles to feed in the shells. Layzuh, _you're a gem within the animation community._ The voice acting has been a nice touch, too!

You never cease to amaze. Keep it up! c:

And he even used the semi auto mode, like a gentleman.

[Faux_Fox_]

Ah yes, the 2 firing modes

Pump action

& pump action but it fires 2 shells at once

[William_Bryant]

I’m most impressed by the little click forward of the slide when switching modes. He really thought of everything.

How anyone can operate a gun with nails that slay is beyond me

0:27 Look at that beautiful twin loading, the tasteful turn of the gun. Oh my god, he even used the fire selector correctly

[rhaaka]

I almost thought he miscounted after the second reload cuz I only saw him load shells three times until I realzied he did the double shell load because literally no one every does that. Bravo to you cat dude, another masterpiece.

I like how his player modle has goten more tactical over time

Easily the most talented animator since Hyper. Every video is such a rewatchable treat.

Beautiful! An iconic shotgun getting the love it deserves with in detail on how it actually works.

Cold War’s animation opened my eyes
And you executed it perfectly

[SchazmenRassir]

Looking at this animation, I can't help but wonder just how... *_agonizing_* it would be to have your claws snag onto anything while doing things like that...

[scaryjello]

Idk why but for some reason I love the little tap of the gun at 0:18, something about the little idle motion while thinking about ammo paired with how weighty it is just gets to me, well done well done

I'm so proud that my technique is catching on, finally being able to bring the SPAS-12 more into the modern era, and show that the reload of is not as much of an issue as people have made it out to be over the years has been my goal since I've owned one. This is the first correct animation I have seen. Keep doing what you are doing, I hope more animators follow in your footsteps. Top notch work my friend.

[TheRunaway]

I like that you did a proper animation for switching between semi auto and pump action for the spas 12. It has also been said that shotgun is difficult to reload in real life (probably not made any better when taking into account that most of those guns are well over 30 years old by now) according to those who have fired them.

[TyrannoWright]

As a SPAS enthusiast, this is greatly satisfying.

When the femboy cat reloads the shotgun better than you
