Stock[edit]

The buttstock is collapsible on the M4 Model (designated 11707) but will not collapse on the M1014. This is because the M1014 was manufactured before the U.S. 1994 assault weapon ban expired, whereas the M11707 has been manufactured since the ban expired therefore not subject to the terms under the ban.

This doesn't make sense. Why would the AWB prevent the military from having a collapsible stock on the M1014? The AWB only applied to civilians, not military or law enforcement. Spartan198 (talk) 13:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the USMC technical manual on the M1014 (TM 10698A-10/1) just now and yes, it does describe the stock as 'telescoping' (i.e. collapsible) on page 11. Changing now.Dvaderv2 (talk) 17:51, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

H&K?[edit]

H&K no longer handles Benelli, right? Can someone confirm? I think H&K now handles FABARM, so we should alter the article to suit if that is the case. -Joseph (Talk) 00:18, 2004 Oct 11 (UTC) That is correct,HK no longer offers any shotguns, including Fabarm......Kevin Flemens, Firesrms Instructor, DC Air National Guard, DC Metropolitan Police Department

Isn't this also a pump-action?[edit]

Nope, if necessary it's cycled manually using the charging handle. Riddley 21:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could you clarify what you mean? What's a charging handle? Malamockq (talk) 03:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Basic firearms terminology. See cocking handle.--LWF (talk) 04:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pop culture references[edit]

I have removed the non-notable pop culture references again as per the project consensus rv - Please see here. If you feel it is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia please put a note in the relevant video game, film etc. article with a link to this article, rather than a list of trivia here.

How many rounds?[edit]

The French article states that it holds 6 rounds, this here article is lacking this vital information. Maikel (talk) 15:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unit conversion error?[edit]

"Effective range 50 m (100 Yards)"

so....is it 50m or 100 yards? can't be both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.25.12 (talk) 12:21, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Benelli M4 Super 90 → Benelli M4 — Clarity; the "Super 90" name has not been used for a while (check Benelli's website here). Perhaps make "Super 90" redirect to a page with links to the M1, M2, M3, and M4? Faceless Enemy (talk) 05:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of creating the Benelli Super 90 page. Faceless Enemy (talk) 17:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Potentially out of UK service[edit]

I was looking at several Defence Equipment Sales Authority listings when I came across this. I'm of two minds about this - on the one hand, DESA listings typically concern equipment that is out of service or due to be out of service (see this brochure), but on the other hand there are listings for equipment that doesn't seem to be obviously going out of service any time soon and thus seem to be purely about getting rid of surplus. More importantly, the British Army's small arms page still treats the Benelli as being in service (though at the same time it doesn't mention the L85A3 and still treats the L86A2 LSW as being in service too, so not the most reliable source in this regard).

All in all, this needs more investigation (read - in all probability, a Freedom of Information request), and the only thing we can be certain of is that the UK Government is flogging off Benellis for some reason or other. - Dvaderv2 (talk) 00:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
