The Benelli M Series Super 90 Shotguns are a series of 12 gauge Tactical shotguns based on the H&K recoil system, first introduced in the H&K Model 512 Auto Shotgun. The Super 90 refers to only the defense / tactical models, since Benelli does offer hunting, trap & field versions of some of the same shotguns. The only departure is the M4 which keeps the same exterior design but introduced a new proprietary gas operated system, the "Auto-regulating gas-operated (ARGO)" system.
The Benelli M Series Super 90 shotguns or variants has appeared in the following:
Heckler & Koch Model 512 Auto Shotgun
- The grand-daddy of all H&K/Benelli Auto shotguns. This was the first shotgun to use the H&K/Benelli recoil system. It was first manufactured for use by West Germany's Elite GSG-9 Anti-Terrorist Police Units. The internal design was the basis for all of the joint H&K/Benelli series of tactical Shotguns. The H&K Model 512 shotguns were sold with the 'Man-Cutter' adjustable choke in front, designed to send the pellets in an elongated oval pattern to either cut a man in half, or (when turned vertically) dump all of the shot into the main body of the target
Benelli M1
- Semi auto only tactical shotgun based on the H&K Model 512 design.
Movies
Benelli M2
- Trap and Field models are made of the M2 as well as Tactical models. It is recognizable from the M1 due to the single receiver screw beneath the ejection port (the M1 has 2) and the unique foregrip (which doesn't fit on any of the other M series shotguns). Also the back of the receiver is slightly different and must have it's own buttstocks, whereas the M1 and the M3 have interchangeable foregrips and buttstocks.
Movies
- Used by Rudyard Kipling (Kevyn Major Howard) in Alien Nation (modified with an extended magazine tube, pistol grip and the capacity to take a detachable box and drum magazine).
Television
Benelli M3
- The Benelli M3 is a combination pump and Semiautomatic Shotgun (12 gauge)
Movies
- L.A.P.D. SWAT officers in S.W.A.T. (fitted with tactical flashlights in the foregrips, trigger grip/buttstock combination, spare shotshell holders, and one fitted with a door-breeching muzzle brake)
- Alec Baldwin as Carter "Doc" McCoy in The Getaway (1994)
- Tom Sizemore as Michael "Slick" Cheritto in Heat
- "Company Men" and Brad Pitt as John Smith in Mr. & Mrs. Smith
- An FBI Agent in Rush Hour
- Gary Oldman as Lt. Jim Gorden in The Dark Knight
Television
- DEA agent in DEA
Video Games
- Counter-Strike Online (as the Leone 12 gauge Super)
Benelli M4
- Unlike the previous M series shotguns, rather than the H&K Delayed recoil system for operation, the M4 uses a new proprietary gas operation, the "Auto-regulating gas-operated (ARGO) system". This new system was designed per specifications from the U.S. Marine Corps.
Movies
- Jamie Foxx as Detective Ricardo Tubbs in Miami Vice
- One of the Merovingian's henchmen in The Matrix Revolutions
