Fig. 20 WARNING: Do not store firearms in places which are or could be accessible by children or other persons whose unfamiliarity with firearms might lead to unsafe use. Always store your firearms securely and unloaded, separate from ammunition. (See point 3 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES). AMMUNITION WARNING: Beretta assumes no responsibility for physical injury or property damage resulting from the use of defective, improper, hand-loaded, reloaded or remanufactured ammunition. Serious damage and injury, and even death, could result from the use of incorrect ammunition, from firing against bore obstructions and from propellant overloads. WARNING: Carefully inspect each cartridge before it is inserted into the chamber. Be certain the cartridge cases are not split, deformed, or the cartridges do not possess any other dents or defects (this applies even to factory ammunition). WARNING: Do not use reloaded or handloaded ammunition. Beretta assumes no liability for incidents occurring through the use of reloaded ammunition. Use of reloaded ammunition will void the manufacturer's warranty. Beretta over-and-under and side-by-side shotguns feature 2 3/4" (70 mm) and 3" (76 mm) chambers. Models with 3 1/2" (89 mm) chambers are also available. You will find the markings for the gauge and chamber length for your shotgun on the side of the barrel. Every gun has been tested with special proof test ammunition. WARNING: Never use cartridges that do not correspond to the markings on the side of the barrel. WARNING: Use only cartridges with a length equal to or less than the chamber length indicated on the side of the barrel. 39
