Benelli MR1: Not Actually an AR15!
This video delves into the Benelli MR1, a 5.56mm tactical rifle that distinguishes itself from AR-15 and AR-18 platforms. The reviewer highlights its unique design, incorporating the gas system of the Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun and a 3-lug rotating bolt. The MR1 is positioned for the civilian market in the US and Italy, seemingly targeting sport shooters who might otherwise gravitate towards AR-style rifles due to popular media influence. The analysis suggests Benelli's strategic approach in this segment, acknowledging Beretta's existing military rifle dominance.
