I have a versamax that I shoot and its awesome. Don't know what the final reliability of the gun will be but I have about 5000 rounds through it now and I've never even pulled it apart and never cleaned it and it runs and has never malfunctioned one time. Also it has some much less recoil than the M2 and M1's its not even a fair comparison. And the Benelli's reliable but when they have trouble its severe hell.
