I am guessing it is a defensive/offensive weapon. It appears to be an SBS (short barrel shotgun) which would need registered. The TFL NFA section will help with the legal end.

So, after searching around, it seems to be an M1 entry model with Surefire forend. If not, let me know. |

Greetings KMA-367, and welcome aboard.
May we assume from the old call sign that you're LAPD, Ret.? |

IMO it's a Benelli Entry gun, with a tricked-out forend.
Most likely an M1, ILO this M4 . |

Yep, its 99% Benelli.
And i conclude that is used by Swat or Police. This is the entry model of M1. Is obvious that they changed the forend to have a build in torch. Data here: http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh02-e.htm |

A bit OT, but I haven't gotten any response to my former post, so my question is:
Is it normal for the Benelli M3 breech to open partially when being fired in the pump mode? It's contrary to every other pump shotgun I've ever fired and it's a bit unnerving. Thanks for your help. |
