Benelli M4 Tactical Shotgun
The Benelli M4 is a 12-gauge, gas-operated, semi-auto shotgun designed for tactical applications. It was originally developed for the US Marine Corps. Now, it is a popular choice among civilians seeking a semi-automatic shotgun for home defense.
The M4 was the first gas-operated shotgun that Benelli ever made, and uses an innovative design called the “auto-regulating gas-operated” (ARGO) system. The system uses two self-cleaning stainless steel pistons, which cuts down on the complicated machinery many gas systems require.
This brings the M4 a higher level of reliability, and it can generally shoot 25,000 rounds before major parts need to be replaced.
The M4 is a highly modular shotgun, allowing users to customize their firearm to their liking. It has been used by the armed forces of the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, and more.
Tactical Quality
