Design
The USAS-12 is a gas-operated, selective-fire weapon which is designed to provide sustained firepower in close-combat scenarios. It accepts detachable 12-round box magazines or 28-round drum magazines. Both types of magazine are made of polymer, and drum magazines have their rear side made from translucent polymer for quick determination of the number of shot shells left. It has an effective range of 40 m.
The latest version of the USAS-12 is capable of fully automatic fire.

“I begin with a design for a hearse.
For Christ’s sake not black—

Let it be weathered—like a farm wagon—”

—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
