When I was in Genoa Italy years back I picked up a SPAS12 (pre "I'll be Back"). Total jamomatic POS, when the movie came out I was able to sell it at a gun shop in Norfolk for about 5X what it cost me.

EDIT: I was also able to get t cheaper than what he was selling it for, no uniform, paid U.S. cash and my Nonna lived about 20 miles north so my Italians not that bad.
