M1014

The Benelli M4 "Super 90" is a semi-automatic shotgun made by the Italian company, Benelli. It was designed in 1998 to replace the Remington 870 as the standard shotgun for the United States Military and was accepted as its more commonly known name, the M1014, in 1999. It has been featured in Battlefield 2: Euro Force, and Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 2: Euro Force
The Benelli M4 is the standard-issue shotgun of the EU Engineer Kit. Its semi-automatic fire rate allows it to be very effective at close range, much like the MEC S12K. It has moderate firepower and similar accuracy to other shotguns of Battlefield 2.

Singleplayer
In the Singleplayer campaign, it is found on an equipment desk just before entering the basement during the mission, Comrades. It is also found in the subway in Semper Fidelis / The Great Destroyer, blocking a door from opening which the player must remove, however, when the door is opened, a Quick Time Event will occur, causing the weapon to be lost.

Enemies during the missions Night Shift, and Operation Guillotine may also drop this weapon when killed.

Multiplayer
In Multiplayer, the M1014 is unlocked at level 22, It has a higher fire rate compared to the 870MCS due to the semi-automatic nature of the gun, but has higher recoil. Similar to the 870MCS, M1014 was equipped with a 5-round tube or a 7-round one with Extended Magazine. Its reload time varies depending on how many rounds have already been spent, and like the 870MCS, the M1014 can fall into an infinite reload bug. Due to the smaller magazine size compared to other semi-automatic shotguns, the June 4th update increased the number of projectiles in a shell to 10 compared to 9. The weapon can fire while reloading IN THE GAME as long as one or more shells is loaded. The appearance of the weapon IN THE GAME is altered by the use of extended magazines.
