The XM1014 is a semi-automatic shotgun with a sleek, modern design, featuring a black polymer stock and forend with metallic receiver and barrel. The shotgun has a compact, yet robust form with a pistol grip for better control and a top-mounted rail for optic attachments. Its surface is a mix of matte and slightly glossy finishes, with subtle texturing on the grip for enhanced handling. The barrel is short and thick, designed for close-quarters combat, with visible ejection port and charging handle on the side.
