Ah, but the Spectre M4 and Benelli M4 are commercial designations. The Benelli is the M1014 in US service, and the Spectre is not a US service weapon. Neither is the Benelli M1 - in fact, there was never an M1 shotgun. Until the Benelli, shotguns in US service were just known by their commercial names.

I believe the military added the "M" at the beginning, though. Every time I've seen or heard the Remington 870 or Mossberg 590 mentioned, they're only referred to as "M870" or "M590" when referring to US military use.

I could be wrong, though.
