Notes
- ^ While the M1014 was first manufactured before the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired, it fell outside the ban due to being produced under military contract, and the relevant Technical Manual explicitly describes the buttstock as being telescoping; the M11707 was first manufactured following the expiration of the Assault Weapons Ban and its provisions.

Может выстреливать патроны со слезоточивым газом. ... Выстреливает Benelli в том числе и резиновую картечь: в теории его должны использовать для пресечения массовых беспорядков, бунтов в колониях и т.д. Кстати, именно такие ружья часто мелькают по ТВ, когда показывают сюжеты о действиях европейской полиции. У нас, к счастью, из Benelli стреляли только на учениях"
