The Benelli M4: A Marine’s Favorite Head-Exploder

I carried a Benelli with my M16 in Iraq (our corpsmen were only issued Benellis for some reason so we gave them some of our spare M16s and I was the only one trained in a Benelli so they gave it to me). Our breacher had a Mossberg and everyone hated the Benelli because it just had a shell release lever instead of that classic pump-action. One time while in country we got a new shipment of ammo and took all the old rounds to the range to get some practice in. Once we got to the shotguns, everyone cheered as the Mossberg went off with the classic *bang* *rack* *bang.* I loaded up the Benelli and they laughed when I hit the shell release lever. Then I unloaded it as quickly as I accurately could *bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang.* They didn't laugh at it any more.

My favorite lore about the M1014 is that when the panel of Marines that were feilding this, they couldn't give it the designation of "M4" because that would confuse too many Marines. When the question of "what do we call this?" came up, someone just looked at their watch and the time was 10:14am. No one apposed, and the shotgun was dubbed the M1014.

[@namenotfound8747]

Mmh, we called it the M4 shotgun or the bennelli or M4 for the rifle, boom stick was acceptable for the shotgun, the rifle was referred to as a gat piece or just a gat. No one ever got confused strangely enough when we were breaching doors and windows.

He never talked about his time in the service too often, but we got him to talk about it once for about 25 seconds. He explained in great detail about how he was posted up on a corner during a raid when a "Haji" came barreling around it with a gun pointed at him. He told us all about how this Arab guy caught every pellet from his shotgun with his face. We all thought it was badass. He was also a former Drill Sergeant. Whipped us little shits into shape.

[@d7dun1010]

Practically speaking and safety-wise, most of us don't want to move around with a shell in the chamber until approaching DANGER makes it necessary. Until then, and only then, we chamber a shell and, time and situation permitting, we replace that shell by adding one to the mag and approaching full up with 8 total. Thereby being one down from the GL of 9. 8 shells of 00 or slugs is, outside of war in another Country, a lot of shooting that we do not see in the practical real world. Only the most stout or mentally incapacitated would want to hang around after one or two of the above? If hit, they will be right there and the other shells still won't be needed but will be there in reserve? From everything I have seen about GL, it takes quite a bit of dexterity and fine movements that most have trouble with on a range. With the stress of a critical situation, most would fumble. GL sure sounds cool but I have doubts about the practical application? As even you called it a Parlor Trick. Not much interested in tricks. Thoughts? Change my mind?

My understanding is that the purpose of the collapsing stock is for use over body armor. Depending on your body and the kit you use (keep in mind this is an older gun designed when everyone only had high bulky shitty IBAs and armor like that) you may need to shorten the stock to get it on top of a plate or just the Kevlar portion.

This reminds me of how the early colonists in Virginia modified their breastplates with iron plates at their right shoulder/chest so they could shoulder muskets. Can’t do that wearing a regular breastplate. Neat how recurring problems appear time and time again through history. Not a problem in Europe, though - muskets could pierce breastplates pretty reliably and there wouldn’t be much need to wear armour, even pikemen would discard most of their armour in the English Civil War. But in the Americas, you’re going up against people armed with bows and close quarters weapons in skirmish settings, and armour is far more relevant for normal infantry again! Same with halberds/billhooks and longbows, the English sent a lot of their old weapons with their early colonists since the warfare in the colonies suited older weapons!

For those interested in purchasing the Benelli M4 or M1014: know there are a few differences between the two while still being the same shotgun at their core. So far, as I have seen the differences are: The M4 comes with threaded barrel for internal chokes, M1014 has fixed choke. American flag on the receiver: As Brandon mentions in the video, the M1014 has a small American flag next to the action release button but the M4 simply says "m4". Lastly the stock: The M1014 come with the collapsing stock but without a 3 position receiver extension; the M4 comes with a fixed stock but has a 3 position extension. The two models as offered from the factory are otherwise identical. If anyone knows more about the history, use or tech specs of the Benelli m-series shotguns, please reply.

[@RighteousJ]

This shotgun is an absolute pleasure to shoot. I had the opportunity once, but I fondly remember it. I still want one all these years later. The recoil mitigation really is as good as advertised; I loaded it with 2 rounds of birdshot, 2 rounds of buckshot, and 2 slugs, firing them in succession. Even the slugs were comfortable to shoot and remained easy to control. The engineering on this thing is magnificently done. You really can literally spend all day firing this thing and not have your shoulder hurt too bad the next day as opposed to, say, a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500 Field. In my opinion it's definitely worth the premium you pay for it when compared to less expensive options if you're in the market for a shotgun.

As the Sommelier said, it's an Italian classic. I would like to see the P90 as I am a big fan of 5.7. I own a Ruger-5.7 and it has never done me wrong.

[@jacobkean03]

Is that your EDC? I’ve considered carrying a 5.7 over my p365xl but I also have MANY hours of training with my p365xl and can draw and aim like the good ol Arizona ranger with it so I am also not leaning towards switching over after becoming so proficient with my 9. I also know fuck all about the 5.7 so idk how the ballistics and general usefulness stack up.

I have no real reasonable excuse to own one of these beauties, but every time I've seen one at a shop I always catch myself thinking, "I don't really need TWO kidneys, do I?" Beautiful shotgun.

The few times I carried the Benelli I absolutely loved it . Excellent reliability and recoil is feather lite for a 12ga. Next range has to be the P90 but cant wait for the UMP-45 either...

[@CherubCow]

Oooooeee! I can feel the Benelli in my hands just watching the video. Got to carry one nearly every day for about six months. The button to send the bolt home was incredibly satisfying, and semi-auto was just hilarious power. That said, I preferred the M870 slightly more and carried it for much longer. Cycling a pump-action just had that extra intimidation factor. Years later, the first time I blindly equipped one in Tarkov and went ADS I recognized it just from the bead. I do miss them. They absolutely fuck.

I’ve watched this video more times than I can count. The M1014 is my favorite 12 gauge shotgun ever.

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

Shotguns might be the most intriguing firearms after machineguns to me. They're also easily the most american firearms in existence xD

[@demomanchaos]

Lever Guns might be a bit more pure American, but shotguns are a rival for that spot for sure. We were pretty much the only ones to bring them to the World Wars.

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

@@demomanchaos I guess revolvers could count as well, yee and haw and stuff

[@DonnySimpanero]

I would say over/unders and side by sides are more of a European thing whilst autoloading and pump action shotguns are more American

[@gameragodzilla]

@@DonnySimpanero John Moses Browning invented the semi-auto shotgun, so that concept at least is 100% American.

[@demomanchaos]

@@DonnySimpanero O/U might be more European, but I'd say SbS is more American. Though a lever action shotgun is about as quintessentially American as you can get.

[@gregorymaupin6388]

One of my buddy’s who is a policeman was able to buy his old M-4 from his department after he retired and it was an old Marine shotgun that the department was able to appropriate in some kind of buy when they bought a bunch of military equipment. It is an amazing weapon.

[@jessemccoy1661]

I carried one for years as law enforcement. AWESOME shotgun! The department went away from personally owned weapons, so They gave me a short 870, then a Benelli M2. The M1014 had much less recoil, but was also heavier. Fortunately, I never shoot any of them on duty. 🤞

FNP90 easy; such an iconic and strange firearm that it always has a recognizable presence. Also I've heard for most of my life that 5.7 isn't the best of calibers and often over-penetrates the "bad guys", so it would be interesting to hear your take on it as well. Ironically, dunno what else would be major film/tv reference other than the Stargate tv series. #AKGNotificationSquad

The security forces in the Westworld TV Series also carried P90's. Inexplicably painted with red tiger stripes IIRC. Just weird.

I love the Benelli M4, and I already did something nasty when I got mine, was really sick, spiting into a small trash can, had a bad cough and on Thanksgiving 2022 drove to a store that had the one I wanted for a fair price. I also spent $1,999 on it but it was all worth it. Felt terrible but did not want to risk not getting one and it was the last one they had, they still have not gotten more of that specific one in as of Feb. 2023.

[@thedavidleveraction1776]

I bought an M1014 and went through the same headache to properly convert it to its full glory! I used to have a Scalarworks RMR mount on it that replaced the pic rail, but I decided that after all the time and expense I put into making it military configuration, I put the pic rail back on it and transferred the Scalarworks to my M2.

Hey Brandon. Love the channel and the firearm break downs love learning about them all. But being a non American and non firearm owner I know very little about ammo would you mind doing ammo break down one day. Eg shotgun shells and their variations, variations on pistol and ar rounds and any special mentions but why each round has its use/existence. Maybe even go into how each tip round actually works. Like why some pierce armor vs open up vs explode etc etc.
