"Semi-auto shotgun. Moderate fire rate. Good damage." ― Description
The Benelli M4 is an Italian semi-automatic shotgun. It can only be acquired through the Mystery Box.
As a semi-automatic shotgun, the Benelli M4 is a very controllable weapon that allows the player to quickly deliver blasts of high damage buckshot. The magazine capacity and semi-automatic operation of the weapon allows the player to administer successive and accurately placed shots on multiple targets.
The individual shots from the Benelli M4 do high amounts of damage per shot, edging out the other shotguns in damage. The weapon is capable of killing zombies in one shot up to and including round 20 with Double Tap Root Beer. When compared to other weapons of its class, the Benelli M4 is also much more controllable and easy to use given its semi-automatic operation.
The Benelli M4 is reloaded by inserting one shell at a time into the shotgun. As such, the weapon can take a long time to fully reload. However, this process can be interrupted midway if needed.
Similar to other shotguns, the Benelli M4 is also rendered virtually useless at further ranges. Its pellets will not do any damage at distances beyond their maximum range. As such, the Benelli M4 is locked to close quarters use only.
Overall, the Benelli M4 is capable of dealing high amounts of damage up close while maintaining high control and usability due to its semi-automatic operation. Its respectable magazine capacity and rate of fire allow the player to easily and quickly place shots onto multiple targets. However, the weapon's per shell reload process means that refilling the weapon is a slightly lengthier process than most.

Weapon Upgrade[]
When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch machine, the Benelli M4 becomes Better Days.
With the Better Tomorrow Module, the upgraded weapon gains a choking effect for the first shot when the magazine is full. This tightens both hip fire and aimed spread by 75%. The range of the first shot is also extended by 500%.
The module also allows the weapon to reload four shells for each inserted, greatly reducing the time taken to fully replenish the magazine.
In addition to the increased accuracy and range of the first shot, Better Days gains increased base damage and headshot multiplier. With Double Tap Root Beer, the upgraded weapon can potentially kill zombies with one shot to the head up to and including round 37. The capacity of the weapon magazine is also increased along with a larger pool of reserve ammunition.
