1. Calciolo in rubber: it absorbs the recoil of the gun (is leaned to the
shoulder).

2. Accorciabile telescopic soccer, express demanded from the marines.

2. Here the heart of super M4 90. Two steel pistons and as many cylinders
start the cycle of talk nonsense using captured exhaust gaseses to the
beginning of the cane. E' the principle of the internal-combustion engine.

4. Guide on which it is possible to couple slow and cannocchiali.

5. Throttle: servants in order to manually shoot (the only way in order to use
not lethal bullets in rubber).

6. Here the cartridges become part for recharge it (can be introduced also
while it is gone off).

7. Stopper with rotary testina in order to seal the cane.

8. Ergonomic Semigusci of plastic that allows to appeal the gun M4 without
scottarsi.

9. Smooth cane (that it allows to shoot ammunitions of varied type) Beretta in
special steel.

10. Tube tank: it can contain until six cartridges (long 7.6 centimeters).


We won', we have won. To the 19 of 19 fridays February a two sun has arrived
fax with these words in the center of the Benelli arms with Urbino. The sender
was John Meloy, a colonel in dismissal of the marines that it seems the
transposition of a cinematographic hero in the truth: six years of Vietnam and
ten from sharpshooter in the Forest boema during the cold war. The Vietnam
has left one dark cough it and the signs of one exploded Chinese grenade under
the feet. Physically it is similar Joe Cocker and it demonstrates more of its 60
years. It is also merit of hard Meloy colonel if the Benelli (of property of the
Beretta group with participation of the Finmeccanica, 80 billions of turnover) has
obtained one historical store clerk: 20 mila guns super M4 90 for the marines to
deliver in four years to leave from the 2000. Meloy is the man who has made
from intermediary between the company and the government American. And it
has allowed the second exploit of an Italian arm on the American military
market: in 1985 Beretta 92 f bore 9 came choice from the army to stars and
strisce in order to replace the Colt and in 15 years it has entered in the means
holsters million soldiers Americans. Hour touches to the guns made in Italy.

The Pentagon has them chosen for the military police (the marines with the
fascetta on the arm ' Mp') and has sent in old pension the Mossberg to pump,
those that are loaded making to slide a crossbar under the cane. Their defect?
For usarli two hands are necessary, one in order to load, the other in order to
talk nonsense. The semi-automatic one, instead, arm alone and hand can be
used with one, like in action films, also guiding the machine or with a wounded
arm. But who thinks that the Americans have surrendered and accepted to use
the semi-automatic guns to the European mistake.

In Europe semi-automatic guns and mitragliette they have the striped cane (the
rotea bullet on if same, like the tip of a bottoming drill): they shoot a single type
of bullets and are lethal also to 300-400 meters. It could seem a pregio, but it is
not therefore. In fact, in the cities empty spaces do not exist immense
therefore, are obstacles everywhere: palaces, car, coach, persons. And the
bullets shot with striped canes most times become dangerous wandering
bullets. Instead M4, like the old pump guns, it has the smooth cane and for this
it is lethal only to inferior distances to the 100 meters. The objective is always
visible, knows who is hit. In more it can shoot all the types of ammunitions: to
only ball, broken (with littles ball and pallettoni), smoke-producing, rockets
signalers and above all, to the contrary of the striped cane, also not mortal
rubber bullets.

Thanks to the possibility to use broken ammunitions super M4 90 have an
impressive fire volume. In a second it can shoot also 5 cartridges with 9
pallettoni: 45 blows before that the first one falls to earth bossolo. More blows
than a mitra. And every cartridge is a lead big wave: the pallettoni from 8
millimeters they cover an area of approximately average squared meter,
impossible not to center the target.

' our guns are previewed for an enemy that sbuca to the improvviso' Lucio
Burigana explains, 47 years, director of the Benelli you arm. ' they are been
born in order to defend embassies, to control airports, stages and quarters to
risk. But also they are adapted to the forest, where the visibility difficultly
exceeds the 50 metri'. Insomma, M4 is anti-riot crews, anti-terrorism and
antiguerrilla, also city. They allow to hit a hidden adversary who can attack
anytime. A gun thought for the new enemies of the cities Americans.

The philosophy of defense of the territory to stars and strisce is taking foot also
in Europe. ' In Germany, France and Italy model continuous Usa' Burigana is
believed to adopt the gun to smooth cane. ' already we have been interpellati
from the Italian police: they have understood the usefullness of the smooth cane
in order to make forehead to the new requirements of the public one sicurezza'.
And soon we could see on our roads armed policemen like marines. ***
