Precious, unique, inimitable: this is how the House of Urbino expresses itself in the presentation of its yet another successful semi-automatic that adds the ingenious characteristics of its predecessors to which it combines some particularities that make this model unique in its genre. The Be Diamond it is in fact the first to boast the Be.ST exclusive treatment for surface protection Full Protection thanks to which the barrel and breech are aesthetically enhanced and virtually unassailable by external corrosive agents. The technical characteristics to which Benelli has always reserved the utmost importance see in the first place the refinements thanks to which the shooter can enjoy the ballistic peculiarities inherent in the shotgun with maximum ergonomics and the best satisfaction: perhaps one is too well used to it and does not during use, he thinks about those advantages without which shooting would be fun and efficient, but with some unpleasant notes linked to the laws of physics.
We are not digging too much into the field of action which corresponds to an equal and opposite reaction, but we remember how unpleasant it was to fire many shots with barrel punctures, guaranteeing a good shot pattern, but together with a recoil that, at the end of a lucky day for the aquatic or pigeons, aching cheekbone and shoulder to the limits of tolerability, leaving aside those unnoticeable vibrations that, spreading in the skull, strained the brain very well with evident symptoms of fatigue and perhaps industrial doses of migraine or headache, to put it simply about a very annoying headache.
These events are carried out with the drilling of the barrel called Power Bore followed by the cryogenic treatment, extended to the chokes, designed to combine the speed of the shot charge and a water hammer tempering thanks to the core diameter and, in particular, the slopes of the connection cones. We then intervene with ingenious solutions such as the system Comfortech 3, evolution of the system studied for years and applied to the Urbino shotguns to significantly reduce the recoil sensation, together with the new nose pad CombTech who is entrusted with the protection of the face, in particular as said of the cheekbone, a critical point in the relationship between football and the shooter's body. The facilitation of armament maneuvers see the whole Easy Locking the focal point to have the gun ready to fire in an instant and again the Window system allows you to see the cartridges contained in the tubular magazine placed under the barrel ensuring maximum safety.
Other peculiarities entered into the complex of ingenious applications see the grip areas of the stock treated with the system Air touch based on the aerodynamics of the small spheres with which the hand holds the speargun even in the worst conditions, avoiding sweating and consequent slipping in hot weather. Of the Cryo System we talked about and add how Benelli was the first company to apply this treatment on an industrial scale that favors the molecular relaxation of the steel and, consequently, a better aptitude of the rod to vibrate and expand uniformly with beneficial effects on the performance with regular and homogeneous patterns. L'Inertia Driven System it was the logical landing of the inertial movement which Benelli has always trusted: the replacement of the inclined strut with the rotating head with two front flaps has made this invention further functional for an unparalleled regularity of operation and a robustness to all test.
The Be Diamond treatment
A long series of processes, tests, variations, still under further development, to achieve the optimal result of a finish of exceptional resistance and elegant appearance: the idea of the diamond was the dominant factor in research. The system, all carried out in the Urbino plant, is one of the processes with the lowest environmental impact and is carried out, obviously briefly, using solid state ion sources for a compact deposition of material without point defects, easy triggers for oxidation. ; another part of the plant uses a radiofrequency plasma source capable of dissociating the gaseous precursors introduced into the chamber, thus creating the conditions for their deposition.
La Benelli uses a liquid precursor, covered by trade secret, which passes into a gaseous state before entering the chamber. This liquid precursor, called diamantoid, is the way to make the outer layer, similar to diamond as it contains hydrocarbon chains in which carbon forms sp3-type bonds, peculiar to diamond. The deposited layer has a carbon and hydrogen lattice with amorphous microstructure, is chemically inert and has an exceptional hardness: the steel substrate has a microcrystalline structure, is chemically reactive and moderately soft. Given the differences in structure between the deposit and its base, an intermediate factor is needed that appropriately links the two entities, bringing intermetallic characteristics. This briefly describes the process and the factors that intervene to give a final result of maximum hardness and resistance together with extraordinary elegance: it should be noted that this surface does not require additional protection such as the usual oil-greased cloth. A pass with a dry fabric and the brilliance of absolute black and the brilliance of the diamond stand out in all their magnificence.
