I'm thinking of replacing my arsenal of shotguns and sniper rifles. My current issues are-

SPAS-12

Barrett M82

There are so many on the market that it's hard to choose.

For the shotgun- I'm looking for something small, light weight, and mobile that you can easily whip around a corner. Pump action or semi automatic doesn't really matter. With the sniper rifle- obviously something with longer range, and more accuracy.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

As far as the sniper rifle goes, you're really not going to improve on what you've already got in an antipersonnel or counter-sniper role. If you want an anti-materiel rifle, the Mechem, or various other 15.2mm or 20mm weapons, would be superior, but at the cost of maneuverability and stealthiness.

Your basic combat shotgun, the SPAS-12, is not a bad shotgun, but there are slightly better options. Your 'optimum' shotty for a combat role will probably be a selective pump/semi, although if it's for a pure combat role, I'd reccomend the semi-only Saiga. Basically, it's an AK-47 chambered for 12 gauge 3.5" Magnum shells, in a 7 round mag. Superior in combat to those with tube mags. I think Remiesia sells it, but he's been offline for almost 3 weeks and I think his storefront is down. Check out http://world.guns.ru for more info on all kinds of weapons (only look at his hard data and descriptions, though - some of his opinions are rather ill-informed).

For images http://securityarms.com is not bad either.

I would suggest you invent your own weapoins its cheaper on the long term.

Alright, I think I've found my replacement shotgun wise (I've decided to stick to the M82 sniper rifle)

SPAS-15

Although I think I'll keep my SPAS-12s around, cause they can fire tear gas.....and because that folding buttstock is just plain cool! :)

Does anyone know where I can buy some SPAS-15?
