THOR-HAMMER Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi, Some time back the US armed forces adopted the gas operated Benelli M4 under the military type designation "M1014 - Joint Service Combat Shotgun" as their duty shotgun. How does this weapon perform in the field ? Any weak spots detected so far ? So far I have not seen much Benelli M4´s in usage by the 3-gun-community or the IPSC-community. Reason for this fact ? Thanks in advance for any reply. DVC THOR-HAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Thor, The Benelli M1014 is a very well built shotgun, although it is quite heavy and the buttstock design could be a little better. Some of the issues it has is it's quite expensive and getting extended magazine tubes for competition is difficult. For the price of the M1014, you could fully set up a standard M1 and be served just as well. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR-HAMMER Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 What about the gas system with respect to (field) cleaning, maintenance and reliability ? DVC THOR-HAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
