Trivia

 * SPAS-12 is rarely used in any modes but it is still labeled as hot weapon in the shop. This is because people bought this shotgun only to acquire SPAS-12 Deluxe, and then SPAS-12 Superior.
 * SPAS-12 appears in Half-Life, the predecessor of Counter-Strike series and Counter-Strike Online.
 * The early name of SPAS-12 Superior was "SPAS-12 Cobra" but it was changed in later version.
 * There are "GR-1103" and "Justice" prints engraved on the SPAS-12 Maverick.
 * SPAS-12 Maverick has two magazines taped together jungle-style, similar to SKULL-5. Unlike SKULL-5, SPAS-12 Maverick has two reload animations. The first is taking the mag out and then swapping it with the second one, and the second animation removes the taped pair altogether and replaces them with a fresh pair.
 * The firing sound of SPAS-12 Maverick is similar to SKULL-11 and it shares the same ammo pool with USAS-12 and Gatling.
