Description

The Italian smooth-bore gun "Benelli" has a store with a capacity of 6 rounds. It is recharged by means of gas, which is discharged into the respective cylinders.

Features

Shooting from the Benelli M4 Super 90, you need to know about some of the distinguishing features of a shotgun. Despite the high indicators of the range of the flight of bullets and damage, it gives a huge spread of fractions. Just like in the situation with SPAS 12, it is necessary to aim accurately at the central part of the opponent's chest, if this is not done, then the probability is high that the enemy will survive. When aiming, the shotgun keeps an excellent tempo, as well as the "Saiga-12C", for example. Thanks to this you have the opportunity to finish off the enemy with a second shot or without any problems to drive out a crowd of enemies. But it is worth remembering the volume of the store. Only 6 rounds - this is quite small in order to carry out continuous shooting.
