== [[Armsel_Striker_and_variants|Custom Armsel Striker]] ==
{{Film Title}}
Seen as a shotgun constructed out of Holy Relics, the weapon does not fire actual shotgun rounds but gold bullets that look alot like 45-70 govt. rounds.  It is gold-plated, heavily customized, and the one in the film sports detachable magazines- the real life weapons only have fixed ones.  Used by Constantine ([[Keanu Reeves]]) throughout the film to kill demons.


How could you miss this one? It's a heavily modified STRIKER 12.
__TOC__<br clear=all>


DAO-12 is another name for the STRIKER 12, or the 'Protecta' as it was first called in Souh Africa.
== John Constantine's Holy Shotgun ==
The [["Constantines' " Holy Shotgun|Holy Shotgun]] is seen as a firearm constructed out of "Holy Relics", firing gold rifled slugs encased in engraved 12 gauge sized shells. It also has the "Dragon's Breath" flamethrower (see [[Constantine#Dragon.27s_Breath_Flamethrower|below]]) mounted beneath the barrel.  Though based heavily on the [[Armsel Striker]] or a variant of the Striker, it is not built from one. The receiver is radically different in size and shape (quite a bit smaller and smoother on Constantine's gun).  Also the ornately engraved drum magazines are shown as detachable (much like the drum magazine of a [[PPSh-41]]) but it 'spins' like the cylinder of a revolver.  None of the real world weapons have this capability, so it is a completely built prop weapon, using some real world parts, but for the most part is fictional.


Sorry but you are completely wrong there. It was origionally known as the Armsel Striker, latter it was improved into the Protecta model. The name DAO-12 comes from Battlefield 2 and now you have alot of idiots calling it that.  
An interesting note: Constantine's shotgun has a ammo deficit. Despite each drum holding twelve rounds, Constantine only fires eight shots before he has to reload, and after reloading the second drum, he runs out of ammo in five shots. This is either an editing mistake, or his shotgun shells have really bad primers.


:: IMHO, it's a Cobray Ladies Home Companion (yes it's a weird name and I almost bought one myself). It's the 45-70 version of the Street Sweeper (which is just a US Domestic clone of the Striker 12).  It looks more to the scale of Constantine's gun.

The following weapons were used in the film Constantine:


John Constantine's Holy Shotgun

The Holy Shotgun is seen as a firearm constructed out of "Holy Relics", firing gold rifled slugs encased in engraved 12 gauge sized shells. It also has the "Dragon's Breath" flamethrower (see below) mounted beneath the barrel. Though based heavily on the Armsel Striker or a variant of the Striker, it is not built from one. The receiver is radically different in size and shape (quite a bit smaller and smoother on Constantine's gun). Also the ornately engraved drum magazines are shown as detachable (much like the drum magazine of a PPSh-41) but it 'spins' like the cylinder of a revolver. None of the real world weapons have this capability, so it is a completely built prop weapon, using some real world parts, but for the most part is fictional.

An interesting note: Constantine's shotgun has a ammo deficit. Despite each drum holding twelve rounds, Constantine only fires eight shots before he has to reload, and after reloading the second drum, he runs out of ammo in five shots. This is either an editing mistake, or his shotgun shells have really bad primers.
