The 12g Automatic is a primary weapon for the Assault class in Battlefield 1.
History[]
The first semi-automatic, recoil-operated shotgun, born out of the vibrant mind of John Moses Browning. The Humpback, as it was called due to its distinctive rear end, was in production for a century and served with distinction in a variety of armed conflicts, from the trenches of World War One to the jungles of Vietnam. The revolutionary long-recoil action also lends the Auto-5 its distinctive ejection mechanism - upwards. Watch your toupees, gentlemen.
