We had one for over a year before we sold it. Good reliablity, but we didn´t pull it thru the bushes, three gun matches only. The weapon loaded with a 20 rnd drum is one HEAVY SOB. Great gun to have around, wish we´ve had ours in full auto though, even funnier. The weapon is made to stand anything, that´s why it is so heavy, extra metal all around, good design in that point of view.

In his book "StressFire II, Advanced Combat Shotgun" Massad Ayoob said...
"[the] Magazine-fed USAS-12 auto shotgun sounds great, but the sample proved both awkward and unreliable." Cool concept though. Remember, you [u]will[/u] have to register it. |

I fired one almost 10 years ago. Not much of a kick since it was so heavy. Must say tho it was a pleasure to shoot.
Always wanted one, but they were expensive and the ATF banned them in the 1990s by classifying them as "destructive devices". The last day to register a USAS-12 is May 1, 2001 as explained on this ATF page ----> http://www.atf.treas.gov/press/fy01press/020901endofreg.htm |

Quoted: IIRC correctly MindHunters dept. had one and in his humble opinion it is one hugh POS. I could be wrong..that's happened before[:)] Bingo Striker.... We have one and I am currently working with Keisler Police Supply to trade it away. I am hoping to get a couple Rem 870's for it. The one we have we got brand new (from a prior CLEO) Our USAS-12 is by no stretch of the imagination a combat shotgun (My opinion although in my department it's my opinion that counts) The USAS-12 that we have is not reliable and I would NEVER let it out on the street. I suppose if one could pick one up for a couple hundred dollars (good luck) it would be ok for range fun where only your ego is on the line. Hunter out... |

Quoted: I had also heard a group of engineers(approx. 1989) here in the USA were attempting to or had purchased the rights and tooling for these series of weapons and were not to far away from a design change that would correct the unreliability and make it marketable to the military. The information that Iam passing on could be partially correct or false. Lets hope someone else has a good thread. I called the USA company that is pushing the USAS-12 now to get a price for my trade in and they have modified it, now there is a new charging handle and they are pushing it on LE as a "Less then lethal/lethal police shotgun". I hope nobody gets sucked into that sales pitch. Hunter out... |

I got to touch off one of the [i]few[/i] SPAS-15 shotguns. I prefer that one to the USAS; the only problem involves price, mags, anbd spare parts... :(
