Overview of the Benelli M4 (Super 90) Tactical Aut

The Benelli M4 self-loader 12-gauge, is considered by numerous personal security, military, and professional clients, to be the Cadillac of strategic tactical shotguns. In fact, the M4 happens to be the present general-issue battle shotgun (M1014) of the United States Marine Corps.



First introduced in 1998, the M4 was Benelli’s first gas operated shotgun. Over the years they have incorporated a variety of options with the standard offering, including skeletonized collapsible and gun grasped stocks. The most current offering is the Desert Camo model. This model is equipped with a 18.5-inch barrel, chambered in a 3-inch load, and a 5+1 round capacity (7+1 for the military model). The sighting system is composed of a LPA apparition ring two-speck backsight, with a white spot front blade sitting inside defensive ears on a hoisted base, and a 5.25-inch Picatinny optic rail. Also featured is a single handed grip buttstock with a very effective recoil absorbing cushion, an under-barrel sling point at the front of the handguard and on the stock, smooth contoured adjustable trigger, and a crossbolt webbed safety behind the trigger guard. The M4 utilizes a composite casing to hold the weight down to around 8 pounds (empty). The three-shade Desert Camo Pattern spreads evenly across everything except for the front sight, 2 inches of magazine tube, optic rail, back sight, pistol grip, trigger guard, sling mounts, and buttpad. The Benelli looks extremely professional, even if there is no possibility that you will end up dragging it off to the dunes while on patrol.



The M4 gas operated bolt cycling mechanism works flawlessly to bring a certain level of clout to the work or the activity it is involved in. The \"auto-managing gas-worked system\" name alludes to the way that this shotgun automatically adjusts to cycle from lighter loads to the more heavier shotshell and tactical loads. The upside, is that the double cylinder gameplan securely and automatically adjusts the internal processing plant from standard loads to heavyweight magnum shells, whether in 2-3/4-and 3-inch, without gambling harm to the firearm, or compromising the integrity of response time. (In other words, it don’t jam, and you don’t get shot!)



Basically this is what it all comes down to; it’s all about the functionability and the intimidation factor of a well designed tactical shotgun. If you are in the market for a shotgun that always works without apology, then the Benelli M4 is your shotgun. If you want a tactical shotgun that just the overall appearance will strike fear into the heart of your adversary, insomuch that the mere sight of it causes men to surrender, mothers to weep, and angels to prepare to count the casualties, then this is the tactical shotgun for you.
