Winchester Model 1200



The Winchester Model 1200 is a pump-action, 12-Gague shotgun used by military, police and civilians for a variety of uses. In it's context as a military weapon, it is effective as a close-quarters weapon in Jungle and Urban combat and also as a breaching tool when other means, such as explosives are considered ineffective or dangerous.

An unknown number of Winchester Model 1200 shotguns were procured by the Army in 1968-1969, with a ventilated handguard, sling attachment swivels, and the bayonet attachment as additions to the civilian Winchester 1200. Small numbers of Winchester shotguns of the 1100 and 1400 series were also procured. The shotguns carry a serial number, found on the bottom of the front end of the receiver.

The Winchester 1200 is extremely similar to the famous Remington 870, such to the point that many components and after-market modifications for the 870 are compatible for the Winchester 1200.

In Game
In Single Player, the Shotgun is used by NPC's to break down doors. Vasquez in particular has a unique W1200 with a pistol-grip stock strapped across his back. Gaz also uses one during the mission Crew Expendable.
