handling in the narrow spaces, even when using long barrels. The safety button can be reversed for left-handed shooters. OPTIMA-BORE® HP BARREL/OPTIMACHOKE® HP TUBES In alloy steel, made with the exclusive cold hammering process to ensure perfect concentricity, the barrel of the new Beretta semi-automatic A400 Xplor is exceptionally robust and lightweight at the same time. Designed for use with steel shot cartridges, it has a new Optima-Bore® HP (High Performance) internal profile with a lengthened forcing cone for enhanced pattern distribution and reduced felt recoil. The bore is chrome plated to ensure the longest life and resistance to rust, wear and tear and to increase the shot velocity, while it is deep blued on the exterior. The new Beretta Optimachoke® HP (High Performance) internal choke tubes are designed to reduce shot deformation and to enhance shot pattern distribution and concentration. Made in high performance nickel plated steel, the Beretta Optimachoke® HP choke tubes ensure the highest protection against rust and resistance to use of steel shot. The attention that Beretta pays systematically to reduce the recoil reached new heights with the A400 Xplor. The A400 Xplor is the only semi-automatic shotgun in the world to be equipped (depending on the specific model or by request) with three anti-recoil devices. The combination of the three devices results in an unprecedented shooting experience. EN KICK OFF DEVICE RECOIL ABSORPTION The Beretta Kick Off system (supplied with the Kick Off version of the A400 Xplor) has been created to further attenuate the recoil sensation of the firearm on firing. Thanks to the Kick Off device, the recoil force gradually disperses through two hydraulic (oil) dampers inserted on the inside of the stock with evident comfort for the shooter. At the same time, vibrations and movement reporting of the barrel are significantly reduced on shooting. Longevity, reliability and handling of the firearm are guaranteed. PATENTED KICK OFF3 DEVICE FOR RECOIL ABSORPTION KICK OFF3 is the very latest innovation in the effective and noticeable reduction of recoil, developed by the Kick Off design team at Beretta. The KICK OFF3 is located inside the stock bolt tube and works during the final backward travel phase of the breech bolt during the operating cycle, for impact attenuation and shock reduction. 13
