M4 Super 90

"A gas-operated automatic shotgun. Capable of burst fire, and has a folding stock for indoor and close quarters combat."

- The Arsenal

The Benelli M4 Super 90 is an Italian Shotgun officially released on 1-13-10 alongside its GP variant, the M3 Super 90.

Overview
The M4 Super 90 is a fully automatic Shotgun, similar to the SPAS-12, and unlike its pump-action GP variant. It is considered by many to be overpowered because it boasts low recoil, a high rate of fire, and a quick reloading speed.

The M4 Super 90 has a fire rate identical or extremely close to the Saiga 20K, making it the second fastest firing Shotgun next to the AA-12. Unlike the Saiga 20K and AA-12, the M4 Super 90 can fire while reloading. It also has a wider spread than most Shotguns, but it can still kill someone in two shots due to the high damage it deals. The M4 Super 90 has about more damage, a faster fire rate, faster reload, and a larger shell load than the M590 Military.

Because of its useful capabilities, the M4 is often used in all kinds of situations. You can expect to see it in Search and Destroy, Elimination Pro, and even Quarantine. On the other hand, players who use the M4 are often harassed because of how good it is, or simply because it's a shotgun.
