This review challenges the notion that Turkish shotguns inherently fail a 500-round test. The Panzer M4 clone, with minor Loctite application, successfully completed the test with only three malfunctions, two of which were ammo-related. The Benelli M4 experienced two malfunctions, including a loose rail due to factory oversight. Both shotguns showed expected wear, but the Panzer M4 proved its reliability under harsh conditions.
