The Auto Assault-12 (AA-12), originally designed and known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun, is a shotgun developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson. The most prominent feature is reduced recoil. The current 2005 version has been developed over 18 years since the patent was sold to Military Police Systems, Inc. The original design was the basis of several later weapons, including the USAS-12 combat shotgun. The weapon is fully automatic only. However, it fires at a rate of 300 rounds per minute, allowing it to fire one round at a time with brief trigger pulls. It is fed from either an 8-shell box magazine, or a 20- or 32-shell drum magazine.

Personality
Official character description: A girl somewhat on the grumpy side, she often forces herself to do things she's not good at, only to have a bout of self-loathing later. If she fails to take her regular fix of sugar, she's likely to feel sick. She enjoys staying up late to listen to late-night radio shows; her favorite program is the emotion-filled Kalina's Free-Talk Office. She fiercely despises barbaric violence, but she doesn't include the use of guns in this category, as she believes it to be a civilized, efficient problem-solving method.
