Portland Me police just received 10 of the Benelli M4 12-ga.
Is there something special that you don't need to clean this as compared to "regular" shotguns to operate?
"We fired this weapon for five hours straight at training and then we just wiped the guns down because they don't get dirty," Hutcheson said.
A standard shotgun or rifle would need to be cleaned thoroughly to prevent misfire and ensure its long-term effectiveness."
Is the recoil really only 25% of a non-semi auto shotgun?
"The semi-automatic shotgun has a gas piston-operated system for chambering shells. That means the recoil is 75 percent less than with a traditional shotgun."
