The Benelli M4 is a semi -auto shotgun. The M4 uses a proprietary action design called the "auto-regulating gas-operated" (ARGO) system, which was created specifically for the weapon. The sights are military-style ghost-ring and are adjustable in the field using only the rim of a shell. The MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny - rail on top of the receiver allows use of both conventional optical sights and night -vision devices, while retaining use of the original iron sights.
