v. DEFINITION

~F' A SHOTGUN.

THE SHOTGUN DIFFERS FROM OTHER FORMS OF FIREARMS. IN THAT IT FIRES A NUMBER"OF'PROJECTILES CALLED SHOTJ INSTEAD' OF A SINGLE PROJECTILE~ ONCE THEY ARE FIRED FROM THE WEAPON, THESE PROJECTILES START SPREADING OUT. THE AREA COVERED BY THE SHOT PELLETS IS CALLED THE PATTERN. THE SIZE OF THE PATTERN IS

DETERMINED BY THE SIZE OF THE SHOT, DISTANCE AND CHOKE OF THE
RESPECTIVE SHOTGUN. A RULE Of THUMB ON THE SIZE OF THE PATTERN OF A POLICE SHOTGUN IS, FOR EVERY YARD OF DISTANCE THE PATTERN GROWS ONE INCH IN DIAMETER. AS AN EXAMPLE, 40 YARDS DISTANCE EQUALS A 4011 CIRCULAR PATTERN. THE A~EA COVERED BY THE SHOTGUNS PATTERN IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERABLY. LARGER THAN THE SINGLE
PROJECTILE ~IREO FROM A RIFLE OR HANDGUN. CONSEQUENTLY,
ARE GENERALLY THE CHOICE FOR MOVING TARGETS AND ARE EASIER TO LEARN TO HIT WITH.

VI. LAW ENFORCEMENT

AND MILITARY

A. OVER THE YEARS THE USE OF THE SHOTGUN HAS. INCREASED 80TH IN
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND IN THE MILITARY.
B. WHEN PROPERLY LOADED, THE SHOTGUN FOR A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS.

c. THE~SHOTGUN IS A TRIPLE-THREAT WEAPON. IT CAN BE USED AS A SHOTGUN. RIFLE OR TEAR GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM. THESE ADVANTAGES ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN ANY OTHER WEAPON~
D. THE SPREAD IF THE SHOT PATTERN ENHANCES ABILITY TO HIT WITH A SINGLE SHOT. THE SHOOTER IS
E. TRAINING NOVICE SHOOTERS TO THE POINT OF COMPETENT USE IS MORE READILY ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE SHOTGUN THAN MOST OTHER WEAPONS.
F. SHOTGUNS ARE COMPARATIVELY INEXPENSIVE AND HAVE LONG LIFE. COMPARED TO THE COST OF OTHER SPECIALTY WEAPONS, SUCH AS MACHINE PISTOLS, THE SHOTGUN IS RELATIVE INEXPENSIVE. G. PSYCHOLOGICAL VALUE IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS, SHOTGUN IS A SYMBOL OF POWER AND AUTHORITY~ CONFIDENCE TO THE OFFICER~ H.

INTRODUCTION

A. HECKLER BENELLI
& KOCH~ INC. (U.S.A.) IS THE SOLE IMPORTER OF THE SHOTGUN LINE INTO.THE U.S~A.: THE BENELLI- LINE IS
THE SAME CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION OF BENELLI FOR L'E USE~ AS OTHER SHOTGUNS~

MARKETED THROUGH HK FIREARMS. 8. ALTHOUGH

FOCUS ON THE.12 GAUGE HI SUPER 90~ ITS VARIATIONS,

AND THE M3 SUPER

VIII. THE BEN8-LI

SYSTEM
NO OTHER SEMI-AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN SHOOTS LIKE A BENELLI~ THE HI SUPER 90 BENELLI CAN BOAST OF UNSURPASSED RELIA8ILITY~
SPEED (THE ABILITY TO FIRE FIVE SHOTS IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND
THE FIFTH SHELL IS EJECTED BEFORE THE FIRST SHELL HITS THE GROUND)~EASE OF OPERATION, DISASSEMBLY, AND MAINTENANCE DUE TO THE REVOLUTIONARY ROTARY LOCKING BOLT HEAD DESIGN. RELIABILITY, SPEED AND VERSATILITY ARE CHARACTERISTICS OF ALL BENELLI SHOTGUNS. THE BENELLI M1 SUPER 90 SHOTGUN OPERATES WITH AN INERTIA

ACTION, WHICH INCLUDES

RECOIL ~SP'RING-ACTUATED
THE' EXCLUSIVE IIMQNTEFEL TRO ROTATING SOL T, FEATURING TWIN LOCKING LUGS THAT LOCK INTO THE BARREL JUST LIKE A BOLT ACTION RIFLE. THIS PROVIDES A FAR STRONGER LOCKUP THAN OTHER SEMI-AUTO SHOTGUNS WHICH FEATURE A SINGLE LUG~ RECOIL OPERATED MEANS NO GAS PORTSJ RINGS~ LINKAGE, GAS PISTON TO COLLECT POWDER RESIDUE. NO ACTION BARS TO BREAK OR WEAR-OUT. RINGS TO REPLACE. FAST RELIABLE FIRING AND CYCLING WITH NO 11011 3~ MAGNUM LOADS. ALL STANDARD 2 3~4~ AND
THE ENTIRE FUNCTION OF THE SHOTGUN IS CONTAINED IN THE BOLT! WHEN THE SHOTGUN IS FIRED THE SPRING POSITIONED BETWEEN THE BOLT HEAD AND BOLT IS COMPRESSED BY THE INERTIA OF THE BOLT AS THE FIREARM BEGINS TO RECOIL. WHEN THIS SPRING IS FULLY COMPRESSED, IT OVERCOMES THE FORWARD INERTIA OF THE BOLT AND PUSHED IT TO
THE REAR UNLOCKING THE BOLTS TWIN LOCKING LUGS AND EXTRACTING
THE FIRED CARTRIDGE CASE RE-COCKING THE WEAPON AND CHAMBERING A FRESH ROUND. A RECOIL SPRING MOUNTED BEHIND THE BOLT FURTHER DELAYS THE OPENING OF THE ACTION UNTI~ AFTER THE SHOT HAS LEFT THE 8ARREL. SAFE, SIMPLE AND FAST! THE ADVANTAGE OF THE 8ENELLI INERTIA RECOIL SYSTEM IS SPEED, WITH VERY LITTLE INCREASE IN RECOIL DUE TO THE BOLT SYSTEMjS
REVERSE ACTION TO REARWARD MOVEMENT. WHEN THE BENELLI FIRES, THE
BOLT SYSTEM MOVES FORWARD, AWAY
FROM FRbM THE. STOCK~. IN ORDER ro.
COMPRESS ITS RECOIL SPRING WHICH HELPS TO REDUCE FELT RECOIL. THE 8ENELLI CAN ALSO OPERATE WITHOUT FIRM SUPPORT AND SHOOT IN ANY POSITION. THE BENELLI IS ABOUT A POUND LIGHTER THAN A STANDARD SHOTGUN DUE TO NO GAS CHAM8ERS~ PISTON AND LINKAGES~ SEMI~AU~O
WHILE MOST SHOTGUNS HAVE A FIXED EJECTOR THE BENELLIJS SPRING LOADED EJECTOR MEANS CONSTANT RELIABLE EJECTION WITH ALL TYPES OF 2 3\4~ AND 3~ LOADS.
