The shotgun was named after Leonardo da Vinci. [3] It is Benelli's first shotgun to feature an in-line inertia-driven operating system. [5] It is intended primarily for hunting, however, on March 15, 2012, Benelli tested the Vinci to NATO standards AC/225 (LG/3-SG/1) 2.5 in which the Vinci passed every test. [3]
Except for the gas operated M4, all Benelli semi-automatic shotguns operate on the same basic principle of inertial operation, with a fixed barrel, utilizing the kinetic energy of gun recoil. This system requires no outlet for gas or barrel recoil, but operates by means of a spring freely interposed between bolt head and bolt.

The Benelli M2 is a semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by Benelli Armi, and the second model of the Benelli Super 90 line of semi-automatic shotguns. It is an updated version of the Benelli M1 . Like its predecessor, it is available in several versions for civilian, law enforcement and military use.
Benelli M4 being fired at a shooting range Benelli Ethos 12 gauge with 28-inch barrel. Many Benelli shotguns utilize an inertia-operated system developed by Bruno Civolani. [2] The Benelli Super Black Eagle, used by waterfowlers, was one of the first semi-automatic shotguns capable of firing the 2.75-, 3-, and 3.5-inch shotgun shells. [citation ...

The Benelli M3 is an updated version of the Benelli M1 shotgun. The M3 uses the same inertia recoil semi-automatic system as the earlier Benelli M1, but adds another Benelli-patented feature, which allows the shooter to lock the semi-automatic action and switch to the manually operated pump-action mode and back in the matter of seconds.
A similar system using inertia operation was then developed by Paolo Benelli in the early 1980s and patented in 1986. [14] With the exception of Sjögren's shotguns and rifles in the early 1900s, all inertia-operated firearms made until 2012 were either made by Benelli or used a design licensed from Benelli, such as the Franchi Affinity.
