The Benelli M3 (Super 90) is a dual-mode (both pump-action and semi-automatic) shotgun designed and manufactured by Italian firearms manufacturer Benelli Armi SpA. The M3 holds a maximum of seven rounds and uses the proprietary Benelli semi-automatic system first showcased in the M1. The M3 is notable for allowing the user the choice of semi-automatic or pump-action operation. It is reliable and versatile, and popular with military and police forces as well as civilians.

Background[edit]

Pump-action operation is employed when shooting less powerful shells, such as rubber bullets, that do not generate enough recoil to operate the semi-automatic mechanism. Conversely, the semi-automatic mode can be employed with more powerful shells, absorbing some of the recoil. Switching between the two modes is done by manipulating the ring located at the front of the forend grip.

The Benelli M3 also features a removable stock allowing the user to choose one of two styles, the traditional shotgun stock or a stock with a pistol grip.

The Benelli M3 is an updated version of the Benelli M1 shotgun. The M3 uses the same inertia recoil semi-automatic system as the earlier Benelli M1, but adds another Benelli-patented feature, which allows the shooter to lock the semi-automatic action and switch to the manually operated pump-action mode and back in the matter of seconds. The action type switch is located at the forward end of the forearm, and is formed as an annular knurled ring. Rotation of this ring either engages the action rods of the pump system and locks the semi-automatic recoil system, or disengages the action bars, locks the forearm and allows the inertia recoil system to operate the action automatically. This greatly improves the versatility of the shotgun, allowing it to fire low-powered ammunition (mostly of special purpose, such as less-lethal rubber or tear-gas projectiles) in the manually operated pump action mode, and to fire full power combat loads with slugs or buckshot in rapid semi-automatic mode. An underbarrel tubular magazine usually holds 8 rounds for police or military versions, or less in some civilian models.

The M3 Super 90 is available with various barrel lengths and stock options, with fixed butt and semi-pistol or pistol grips, or with top-folding butts and pistol grips. Sight options include shotgun-type open sights, rifle type open sights, ghost ring (diopter) sights and various mounts for reflex or low magnification telescope sights and tactical flashlights and laser pointers.

Variants[edit]

The Benelli M3 comes in several variations, most notably the M3 Super 90, which features a smaller body. There is also a shorter version, which is easier to transport, used by law enforcement officers.

While other Benelli self-loading shotguns have the recoil spring inside a tube in butt-stock, in the M3 the recoil spring is placed around the magazine tube. This is an interesting feature for weapon modification, since other shotguns (such as M1, M2 and M4) attach the butt-stock to the recoil spring tube. The M3 has a dummy tube just for stock attachment.

Benelli's M3T is an OEM variant, where the butt-stock and dummy tube have been replaced with a pistol grip and up-folding skeleton butt-stock.

Benelli's SuperNova pump-shotgun and MR1 self-loading rifle have similar butt-stock attachment to the M3, so this adds two new butt-stock options to M3.

The M3 butt-stock and dummy rod can be replaced with a 'Benelli SuperNova Tactical Collapsible Stock'. The collapsible stock allows 5-position draw length adjustment, so a shooter can compensate the effects of thick winter clothes or body armor by adjusting the stock length. The required spare parts are: Adjustment rod, pistol grip and collapsible butt-stock.

A rare modification is to replace the M3 butt-stock and dummy rod with a 'Benelli SuperNova Handle Grip'. The 'handle grip' is just the pistol grip attached to the receiver with a screw.

Benelli M3 Sights

The versatile Benelli M3 is a standout option for military or law enforcement use, arriving ready to work and sporting the best of both worlds—both pump and semi-auto capabilities.

Cop after cop will weigh in on the shotgun versus carbine—which is the best patrol long gun debate—with none of them wrong in the end. Both long guns have their place and time for use. That’s why I’ve always contended the smartest agencies, and officers, will arrange to have both long guns available in their units.

On numerous occasions I have heard, and made, the statement “one of the beauties of the shotgun is its versatility.” Can’t really argue with that — buckshot, slugs, birdshot—most pumps and autos can handle those with aplomb. However, in the LE world, the shotgun may be called upon to feed and reliably eject a few more loads: reduced recoil buckshot/slug, breeching rounds, OC/OS, beanbag, baton, rubber bullets—you name it—and even the Taser eXtended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP).

The Benelli M3 uses a reduced mass bolt and a rotating bolt to provide quick shooting in the semi-auto mode. The bolt handle is sized for secure use and the release button is grooved.

When there is a need for rapid fire, the semi-auto is the hands-down winner across a wider variety of users. However, when we begin to discuss successfully digesting a wide variety of loads, many of which will not generate enough recoil or power to cycle a semi-auto smoothbore, folks usually say the nod goes to the pump for such versatility. Strong points and weak points for both actions undeniably exist.

To switch between pump and semi-auto, rotate the selection ring and move the forend forward or backward to attach it to or otherwise remove it from the barrel ring.
