I am writing to express my profound frustration and disappointment regarding the recent unilateral decision to change our weapon allocation plans. Specifically, I am referring to the sudden switch from providing the new SPAS 12 shotguns to security personnel, to now exclusively allocating them to Nine-Tailed Fox operatives.
This decision is not only misguided but also completely unacceptable. As the Security Chief, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our security protocols. However, by depriving our security personnel of access to this crucial equipment, you are not only jeopardizing our ability to fulfill our duties but also compromising the safety of everyone within this facility.
The SPAS 12 is a reliable and versatile weapon that plays a crucial role in our security arsenal. By denying its access to our security personnel, you are essentially handicapping our ability to respond effectively to threats and emergencies. This decision is short-sighted and puts the lives of our staff and the integrity of this facility at unnecessary risk.
I demand an immediate reversal of this decision and a return to our original weapon allocation plans. Anything less would be a gross dereliction of duty and a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of everyone under our protection.
¶ Overview
The SPAS-12 is a combat shotgun manufactured by Italian firearms company Franchi from 1979 to 2000. The SPAS-12 is a dual-mode shotgun, adjustable for semi-automatic or pump-action operation. The SPAS-12 was sold to military and police users worldwide, as well as on the civilian market.
The appearance and intended purpose of the SPAS-12 initially led to its "military" designation as a combat shotgun. The SPAS-12 was designed from the ground up as a rugged military shotgun, and it was named the Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun. In 1990, Franchi renamed the shotgun the Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun, which allowed continued sales to the United States as a limited-magazine-capacity, fixed-stock model until 1994. Following the United States Federal Assault Weapons Ban, imports of SPAS-12 shotguns to the United States were stopped. In September 2004 the ban expired, but Franchi ended production of the SPAS-12 in 2000 to focus on the manufacturing of the SPAS-15 model, which was based on the SPAS-12.[citation needed] The SPAS-12's factory retail price in its final year was US$1,500 averaged for its final sales outside the United States to non-restricted countries.
