Description |
The Shotgun 12 gauge Benelli M3A1(NZ) is a dual operation : Manual pump or recoil inertia operated, air cooled, tube magazine fed shotgun. It can be fired from all standard positions using aimed or instinctive fire. Operation of the action selector on the fore end allows the firer to change between manual and semi automatic operation. Selection of manual operation is required for less lethal ammunition types, as these do not produce enough recoil energy to cycle the weapon. Semi automatic is able to be used for all standard shotgun loads. |
