The Benelli Vinci is a semi-automatic shotgun manufactured and sold by the Benelli company. It uses an inertia-driven system of operation, and contains recoil-reducing features. It also features a modular design consisting of the barrel/receiver module (containing the operating system, barrel, and bolt), the trigger group/forearm module (containing the trigger assembly, safety, shell carrier and magazine), and the buttstock.[4] 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, rather than combat or self-defense; the M3 and M4 shotguns are Benelli's primary contenders in the tactical shotgun market.[3] The Vinci is capable of firing 2.75 or 3 inch shells, while the “Super Vinci” model is capable of firing 3.5 inch shells as well.[6][7]
