Benelli M1 Tactical
Not to be confused with Benelli M4 Super
Benelli M1 Tactical is a Primary Shotgun weapon that can be purchased from and sold to Big Al's Gun Shop.
The Benelli M1 Tactical was one of the items available at the launch of Torn on 15 November 2004, having been introduced during the Torn City Beta. [1]
The Benelli M1 Tactical has a stealth rating of 2.8, tying it with the Benelli M4 Super for the stealthiest Shotgun in the game. It is also tied with the Macana and Bread Knife for the highest base accuracy in the game.
Without any Ammo management buffs, the Benelli M1 Tactical can be used three to four times before needing to reload.
Usage
With the highest base accuracy in the game, a Benelli M1 Tactical with a trigger mod, custom grip, and tracer special ammo equipped has the best chance of any weapon for hitting an opponent with Eviscerate or other debuffs. Some players also use a Benelli M1 Tactical with the Bleed or Blindside bonuses in the opening turns of a long fight to increase damage against an opponent.
For players who cannot afford weapons from Caches, the Benelli M1 Tactical's high base accuracy can be used to maximize the chances of hitting a target that has low Life and only needs to be hit once to defeat.
Obtaining
The Benelli M1 Tactical is most commonly obtained through crimes. It can also be purchased from Big Al's, be found through city finds, and is given as a mystery gift from the Wheel of Lame.
The Benelli M1 Tactical can be obtained through two job specials; the Army job special to steal a weapon for 10 Army Points [2] and the "Open Arsenal" 5* special at a Private Security Firm for 75 job points. [3]
The Benelli M1 Tactical can be found as a result of the following crimes:
- "Big Al's Gun Shop" (quantity 1)
1,000 Benelli M1 Tacticals will be restocked at Big Al's after being sold out. The amount of time before a restock occurs is half the time it took the item to sell out, rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.
Benelli M1 Tacticals can be bought from other players through the Item Market, Bazaars, or Trades, but as Primary weapons do not stack they must be purchased one by one, making it time consuming to buy in bulk.
A high quality Benelli M1 Tactical with a Weapon Bonus can be obtained by opening a Medium Arms Cache. A Benelli M1 Tactical obtained this way can have a Damage stat up to 54 and an Accuracy stat up to 80.
Buffs
The Benelli M1 Tactical can use all Weapon Mods that are compatible with Shotguns. It can also use all four types of 12 gauge ammo.

Benelli M1 Tacticals, along with all primary and secondary weapons, receive a 20% and 5% bonus to Ammo conservation from the "MTH3330 Bachelor of Mathematics" and "MTH2310 Discrete Mathematics" courses respectively. The "CBT2125 Study of Shotguns" course gives +1 accuracy to all shotguns.
