Benelli produces semi-automatic shotguns that are sought after by hunters, competition shooters, and military and law enforcement officials around the globe. Their products are renowned for continuing to function in harsh environments and with little or no maintenance.

This level of reliability is not achieved by accident – Benelli uses high-tech equipment to design their firearms, including a high speed camera capable of taking video at one million frames per second and computer modeling and stress analysis software used by Formula One racing teams. Guns For Sale visited the Benelli factory in Urbino, Italy, and took video of some of this technology in action.
