The new A400 Xplor Action from beretta is the first semiautomatic that adopts an electronic system, which counts the cartridges fired. A lot of technology, extraordinary mechanics and a new design place the A400 Xplor Action at the top of the ranking of the whole world of semiautomatics.
Many hunters ask themselves the eternal question, or should we say dilemma, whether the skills of the hunter or the rifle he uses matter more. If you visit the Beretta website, looking for information on the new A400 Xplor Action, you will read this sentence: it is the shotgun that counts. In the Beretta house they could not find a better slogan than this, to sum up the essence of this shotgun.
In fact, the new Beretta A400 Xplor Action is the first hunting semi-automatic in the world that has, as standard, an electronic device which allows, among other functions, to count the shots fired.
This semi-automatic from Beretta is equipped with the hallmarks that have established the extraordinary success of the A400 series. The semi-automatic A400 Xplor Action can be used with the utmost simplicity, regardless of the type of game, ammunition, target or climatic conditions in which you find yourself during a hunting trip. This versatility has been obtained and increased through the revision of the breech box, which is designed to accommodate any type of optics or other aiming systems.
Having made these necessary premises, we are going to describe the A400 Xplor Action.
We mentioned the electronic device for counting shot cartridges. Specifically, it is the GunPod, that is Beretta's on-board computer.
This system is a multifunction electronic device present in the guard of the handle of the A400 Xplor Action, which gives the possibility to count the total shots (not resettable), to count the partial shots (up to 7 resettable sessions), to measure the outside temperature in degrees C and F (thermometer) and to test the fired ammunition.
The GunPod also allows you to compare two different types of cartridges, even with the same weight. The Beretta GunPod is considered a revolutionary device in the world of hunting guns, as it ensures the count of shots fired even without the battery inserted or with a flat battery.
The advantages present in this semi-automatic do not end with the GunPod, but continue with the best recoil reduction system in the world, the
Kick-Off. The latter is the only recoil reduction system in the world that uses two hydraulic shock absorbers completely similar to those used for car suspensions, obtaining a -60% of the recoil when fired. The other systems on the market, which attempt to dampen the recoil, are based on the deformation of soft materials such as rubber, polyurethane or polymer inserts.
The substantial difference between the two systems, the Kick-off from Beretta and those of the other manufacturers, can be summarized in a very simple example: the other systems can be compared to a car with suspensions made of rubber.
A further expedient in search of softness, lightness and smoothness is the Micro-Core, that is an innovative recoil pad developed by Beretta. With the use of open cell expanded technopolymer, softer, lighter and smoother than rubber, the Micro-Core releases gradually and immediately, enlarging the shoulder support surface and providing the speargun with a safe and precise support surface. This system contributes together with the Kick-off to determine a better handling of the shotgun when firing.
The mechanical heart of the A400 Xplor is considered by experts to be a true engineering jewel, as it distinguishes itself from that of all other rifles on the market for its exceptional rearming speed, which reaches + 36%. In particular hunting situations, having a rifle available that can be rearmed with extreme speed can mean increasing the possibility of hitting the target.
Beretta, however, went further with the Blink, the new A400 Xplor engine, obtained by integrating the new Beretta gas system, rotating head closure and the new fuel system. The gas system is equipped with an innovative piston with a scraping elastic band, which also acts as a seal. The Blink is thus more powerful and much cleaner.
Another distinguishing element of this semi-automatic is Steelium, the production technology of Beretta barrels, which allows the special Beretta triple-alloy steel to be transformed into an exceptional barrel thanks to an equally unique production process. Through deep drilling, cold hammering and special vacuum stretching, the steel obtains the ideal characteristics to guarantee the best ballistic performance available today.
In addition, the special Optima-Bore HP geometry has been designed to promise the best performance even with HP steel shot. With this device, the shot pattern remains perfect and uniform in all types of hunting, also thanks to the use of Optima-Choke HP chokes.
To distinguish Beretta products are not only the mechanics and the new electronic systems, but also the aesthetics contributes to the uniqueness of the house in Gardone Val Trompia (BS). In fact, the design of this weapon does not look beautiful and functional at the same time. From the insert for the forend, to the underguard, passing through the Kick-Off interface, every element of the A400 Xplor has been designed to optimize shape, weight and functionality.
Furthermore, the treatment of the A400 Xplor Action casing represents the union of the anodic oxidation resistance characteristics, the best in the world, with an exclusive “bronze-brown” color.
Concluding this article is a bit difficult for us, in the sense that there are no adjectives to express the extraordinary capabilities of the A400 Xplor Action semi-automatic. Who will have the pleasure of trying this rifle, in all likelihood, will be able to answer the question: does the hunter or the rifle matter more?
