New Marine Corps Shotgun

Skorzeny · May 16, 2000, 12:43 PM

Can someone comment on the new Benelli gas-operated semi-auto shotgun that is being supplied to the US Marine Corps?

What are its features? For example, is it more rugged than Remington 11-87?

Inquiring minds would like to know!

Yes, it's more rugged than the 11-87. More reialble, theoreticaly, do to a dual gas system.
From all acounts, it's good to go. But I'd have to go back in to get one so I try not to think about it.
It'd be a monster of a jungle gun with flechettes...
