The M3 A1 is a dual-mode shotgun that functions as both a semiautomatic and a pump-action weapon, making it an outstanding option for various operational and defense scenarios. Its flexibility allows for the use of lethal and less-than-lethal ammunition, and it boasts easy handling, accuracy, and a high rate of fire.
By integrating two different operating mechanisms—semiautomatic and pump—into a single shotgun, the M3 is designed to meet a wide range of defense needs. Moreover, its versatility is enhanced by interchangeable stocks, including fixed drop, variable drop, and pistol grip options.
