DRONE DEFENSE: Fire at will with BENELLI

The market for shotguns has grown dramatically since they are not only used for hunting, but also for hunting drones: Modern war images show the massive use of FPV drones (First Person View) as well as quadcopters to attack troops on the ground, either directly in kamikaze flight (FPV) or by dropping various grenades.

This new scenario paves the way for the use of 12-gauge shotguns combined with 4/0 shot (6.1 mm birdshot), creating a direct impact on the target that is large enough to easily shoot down a drone at distances of 50m or more. This is a "last resort" that effectively saves soldiers' lives and is not feasible with pistols or assault rifles.

Benelli Armi S.p.A. - one of the world's leading manufacturers of shotguns, whose products are used by police and military in more than 90 countries worldwide - has developed a special line of four weapons for this critical application: The Benelli M4 A.I. Drone Guardian. A.I. stands for "Advanced Impact", a patented system of larger and longer cones in the barrel that is capable of hitting targets at longer distances compared to standard shotguns and with deeper penetration. HERE you can find all the information about the weapon in the M4 A.I. Drone Guardian brochure.
