Whether you are being attacked by a horde of zombies or a horde of Obama’s Civil Defense Corps personnel, the Benelli M2 Tactical is one of the best urban defense weapons you can currently buy in the United States.
Remember, a 12-gauge shotgun is a crowd control weapon for close range operations. Urban clearing, mowing down undead shamblers and close quarters defense against advancing hordes of hostile fleshy creatures are the correct uses for a weapon like the Benelli M2.

The key factor that makes the Benelli a reliable and lifelong keepsake to hide from the gun grabbers – it’s not gas operated. Instead, it is recoil operated. That means you won’t have to do a critical functions check or clearing operation right as that zombie who used to be a postal worker is about to bite into your forearm. Simple engineering and reliable operation are what make the AK47 and its many variants the most popular assault rifle ever. The Benelli is designed on the same principles. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking is the most appropriate anachronism that springs to mind.
The tactical model is much better for stopping the advancing minions of the forces of entropy than the field model because you can fight your hopeless battle against overwhelming odds with style. A flashlight on your Benelli will allow you to see the cold whites of those dead eyes just before that rotting, stinking corpse explodes and is flung backwards across the room, knocking over at least a half dozen fellow brain eaters and allowing you to cycle the chamber and load another delicious helping of buckshot into the barrels full of second death. Yes, zombies have to die twice. I don’t think Tritium sights are really necessary, but you could mount those on this fabulous and stylish instrument of destruction as well.
At only $1,200 (soon to rise to about $12,000 on the black market), the Benelli M2 is an excellent value. After all, your intact body and beating heart are certainly worth more than $1,200 aren’t they? Buy a Benelli M2 while you still can. The zombie hordes are on the march. A plague of giant locusts is imminent. All hell is breaking loose. The end is nigh. Get a decent combat shotgun.
