The New Zealand Defense Force is adopting the Benelli M3 after trialling them for the past few years. The M3 is a dual mode firearm that can be operated manually as a pump action or semi-automatically with Benelli’s famous inertia recoil system. The pump action is useful when firing low powered less lethal rounds.
