M1014 is the US Army designation for the Italian-made Benelli M4 Super 90. The Benelli M4 was produced from 1999, and entered service with the US military as the M1014 the same year. The M4 uses an internal tube-magazine with a gas-operated action - and is chambered for conventional 12 gauge shotgun cartridges. In game, the M1014 is a mid-damage, mid capacity weapon with a good rate of fire and decent one hit kill potential. Unlike many of the shotguns, the M1014 doesn't have any major drawbacks - it's a good all-round weapon, as far as shotguns go. Damage is more than sufficient, and will often kill in one - but even in the cases where it doesn't you can quickly follow up with up to another three shots if needed. Reloading is frequent, and cartridges are inserted individually, but it's relatively quick and if you keep in the habit of topping up after firing you'll seldom find yourself running dry. It's a balanced, reliable weapon - and while it lacks some of the aggressive punch of the SPAS-12 it's an able close-quarter weapon nonetheless. The M1014 is pretty effective without any attachments - but some do have benefits. The shotguns are all close-quarter weapons - so you should either limit your usage of them to areas of the map suited to close quarter combat, or use cover and movement to minimise your time spent in the open. You'll want to steer clear of long sightlines, and avoid approaching enemies directly - as it's likely their weapons will outmatch yours unless you're very close. For your blue perk, it's really a choice between sleight of hand and marathon. Sleight of hand pro is essentially useless - but the faster reload can be useful. I'd recommend sleight of hand if you're using the M1014 as a backup. If you're using it as more of a primary weapon, however - Marathon is prob
