Starting from the mechanics, as on the whole series Beretta A400, we find the system Blink, a jewel of engineering, the true heart and engine of the weapon, which integrates the tested gas system with the rotating head closure and the cartridge feeding system. The reset is guaranteed by an innovative self-cleaning piston, with a scraping elastic band that also acts as a seal. All this, in addition to a perfect closure and safety of the weapon during the firing phase, distinguishes it from all the other rifles on the market for its exceptional rearmament speed.
A400 Lite cal. 20 it is immediately recognized by its completely black color. Stock and fore-end are in technopolymer with S-Grip knurling, designed to combine excellent grip both with bare hands and with gloves. The Kick Off Plus, the only recoil reduction system in the world that uses shock-absorbing technologies similar to those used in the automotive and aeronautical sectors. Here it is positioned immediately behind the pistol, so as to eliminate movement between the cheek and the butt during the shot. The system is composed of two high-tech shock absorbing pads that allow, in addition to the 70% reduction in recoil, a significant reduction in weight, generally sought after by those who choose the 20 gauge. MicroCore, thanks to the expanded technopolymer with open cell structure it is light, soft and smooth: in fact it releases gradually, optimizing the support area on the shoulder and always guaranteeing safe and precise support.
As in the other Beretta semiautomatics, the barrel of the A400 Lite cal. 20 is made of tri-alloy steel, and benefits from technology Steelium which involves cold hammering and vacuum stress relieving. The deep drilling makes it ballistically excellent, and able to last a long time without losing quality or reliability. The barrel length of the A400 Lite is available in three different sizes: 66, 72 and 76 cm. Beretta's Steelium barrels are generally ideal for guaranteeing the best ballistic performance available today, with both lead and steel shots or other non-toxic materials. To optimize the shot pattern and the ballistic yield, the choke can be varied according to the hunt to be undertaken by using the special long internal chokes. OptimaChoke HP (63mm), from cylindrical for hunting in the woods up to 1 star for longer shots.
Thanks to a weight of 2,750 kg with the short barrel (66 cm), A400 Lite cal. 20 is one of the lightest rifles on the market: consequently all the precautions described above are essential for reducing recoil and wheelie. Thanks to these features A400 Lite proves to be a valid hunting companion even when using Magnum cartridges and in any environmental condition. Last but not least, A400 Lite cal. 20 is equipped as standard with GunPods 2, the brand new Beretta digital diary.
A Bluetooth device integrated in the stock pistol for which Beretta has developed a special mobile app to be installed on smartphones (iOS and Android), which is able to memorize the route taken with the relative map, and automatically record all shots fired with location and time. For each shot it is also possible to insert the result, the hunted game and any photograph or video. At the end of the expulsion, it is then possible to save the hunting session, both on the phone and on your PC - through reserved access to a dedicated server - to be able to relive it and complete it with further details at any time, even from home using our PC.
