While it seems to lack any really novel new features it definitely is interesting seeing major manufacturers pivoting with FPV drones taking over the modern battlefield.

This is a community dedicated to discussion around historical arms, mechanically unique arms, and Ian McCollum's Forgotten Weapons content. Posts requesting an identification of a particular gun (or other arm) are welcome.

Rules:
1) Treat Others in a Civil Manner. This is not the place to deride others for their race, sexuality, or etc. Personal insults of other members are not welcome here. Neither are calls for violence.
2) No Contemporary Politics Historical politics that influenced designs or adoption of designs are excluded from this rule. Acknowledgement of existing laws to explain designs is also permissable, so long as comments aren't in made to advocate or oppose a policy. Let's not make this a place where we battle over which color ties our politicians should have, or the issues of today.
3) No Advertising This rule doesn't apply to posting historical advertisements or showing more contemporary ads as a means of displaying information on an appropriate topic. The aim of this rule is to combat spam/irrelevant advertising campaigns.
4) Keep Post on Topic This rule will be enforced with leeway. Just keep it related to arms or Forgotten Weapons or closely adjacent content. If you feel you have something that's worth posting here that isn't about either of those (and doesn't violate other rules) feel free to reach out to a mod.
5) No NSFW Content Please refrain from posting uncensored extreme gore or sexualized content. If censored these posts may be fine.
Post Guide Lines
These are suggestions not rules.
-Provide a duration for videos. eg. [12:34]
-Provide a year to either indicate when a specific design was produced, patented, or released. If you have an older design being used in a recent conflict provide the year the picture was taken. Dates should be included to help contextualize, not necessarily give exact periods.
-Post a full URL, on mobile devices it can be hard to tell what you're clicking on if you only see "(Link)".
-Posts do not have to be just firearms. Blades, bows, etc. are also welcome.

A few years ago a Benelli M4 was like $2300. So prolly more like $3500 for the drone dropper version.
Looks like it comes with new rear sight, a forward optic mounted on a full length picatinny rail, and a modified choke, so if its a grand more, that seems to be roughly in line with those new parts.
Their other models are still MSRPing at 2.4k or 2.3k, going off of Benelli's website.
According to the manufacturer, the uniqueness of the AI version is that, thanks to a modified choke, the buckshot can be effective even at distances of 50 meters and beyond, maintaining a high level of speed and energy.
Even by the exceedingly lax standards of the computer world's marketers when it comes to using the term "AI", this one seems like a bit of a stretch.
The semi-automatic shotgun, called the M4 Advanced Impact (AI) Drone Guardian
Ah, thanks.
Why would they use buckshot? Wouldn't bird shot be better against drones?
But, you can put a modified choke in any shotgun that lets you swap the choke. I just bought one a few months ago, they're like $30.
