The SPAS-15 is a combat shotgun manufactured by Luigi Franchi S.p.A. between 1986 and 2005 as the successor to their well-known SPAS-12 model. Based on the same idea as the SPAS-12, the SPAS-15 is also a dual-mode firearm, capable of switching between semi-automatic and pump-action operations to accommodate different ammunition types. Unlike its predecessor, the SPAS-15 features a layout closer to an assault rifle, and feeds from detachable box magazines rather than an internal tube. It is offered with externally-threaded chokes to facilitate the use of muzzle attachments, and comes with a side-folding stock and grip safety. The SPAS-15's mode-switching toggle was relocated onto the topside of the pump sleeve, rather than the SPAS-12's below.
Being conceived closer to the advent of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, the SPAS-15 is even harder to come by in the United States, with only 180 units ever having made it onto American soil. On the other hand, it also received a much more welcoming opinion from police and military users, with several agencies still using it to this day. Civilian ownership of the SPAS-15 in the United States is difficult to say the least, but such is not the case in Italy, where the shotgun is still very accessible despite being discontinued in 2005.
The SPAS-15 can be seen in the following films, TV shows, and video games:
