= S-12 Reaper =

The S-12 Reaper, also known as City Thunder or TechCon Reaper, is an automatic combat shotgun developed by Enforce & Defense Gadgets, a renowned manufacturer of firearms and defense equipment. It was designed for the Police Special Enforcer Division (PSED) arsenal and later adopted by the United Armed Force of Peacekeepers (UAFP) for crowd control, hostage rescue, and raiding missions in urban areas. The shotgun features various advanced characteristics, including a low recoil system, a Picatinny rail system for customization, an adjustable stock, and selectable firing modes (auto and semi-auto).

History
The S-12 Reaper concept originated during the founding of Confederacy of Technocratic Republics (CTR or TechCon for short) and the implementation of technocracy across Europe. Initially, it was requested by the Police Special Enforcer Division (PSED) as a crowd-control weapon, primarily designed to employ nonlethal ammunition.

The development of the S-12 Reaper began in February 2024 and spanned over two and a half years of testing. Enforce & Defense Gadgets, working closely with TechCon, undertook the project. The goal was to create a highly effective shotgun suitable for urban law enforcement operations, combining reliability, firepower, and ease of use. Upon completion and later deployment proved that the shotgun can demonstrate exceptional effectiveness in maintaining law and order during civil unrest in newly captured territories

Recognizing the potential of the S-12 Reaper, a proposal was approved to introduce the weapon to the military forces. The shotgun underwent more rigorous testing and evaluation before being adopted by the UAFP for urban operations. Its superior performance in the demanding environments of the Middle East Restoration Campaign (2042-2053) solidified its reputation as a reliable and efficient firearm.

Design
The ergonomic design of the S-12 Reaper ensures optimal handling and maneuverability in close-quarters engagements. The shotgun features an adjustable stock that can be tailored to individual operator preferences and body types, enhancing overall comfort and weapon control. Its balanced weight distribution contributes to improved stability and ease of use during rapid target acquisition.

To accommodate a wide range of tactical accessories and optics, the S-12 Reaper incorporates a Picatinny rail system. This modular rail system, positioned along the top of the receiver and handguard, allows for effortless customization and attachment of various accessories, including optics, lasers, and tactical lights. Operators can quickly adapt the shotgun to meet specific mission requirements, enhancing versatility and overall effectiveness.

The S-12 Reaper most prominent feature is its highly efficient low recoil system, ensuring enhanced controllability and minimal muzzle rise. Its double spring system similar to the AA-12 allows for rapid follow-up shots with little to no feeling of recoils. The recoil pad on the stock further mitigates recoil effects, providing the operator with a comfortable shooting experience and reducing fatigue during extended use.

Later design incorporate optional compatibility of a 32-round drum magazine for prolonged sustain fire as the UAFP requested.

Usage
The S-12 Reaper found significant utilization within the PSED, where it played a crucial role in quelling riots, combating dangerous rebel groups, and addressing urban criminal activities. The shotgun's versatility and adaptability to various nonlethal ammunition types made it a valuable asset for maintaining public order while minimizing casualties.

Following its successful implementation within law enforcement, the S-12 Reaper transitioned to the military domain. It became a staple weapon within the UAFP division of the army, particularly during urban operations where its close-quarter combat capabilities excelled. Its effective range with buckshot ammunition reached up to 50 meters, while slug ammunition extended its reach to 100 meters. The shotgun's remarkable performance contributed significantly to the success of the Middle East Restoration campaign, solidifying its position as a reliable and trusted weapon system within the UAFP.
