DRY FIRING/SNAP CAPS Dry firing is defined as firing a firearm with no cartridges in the chambers. The snap caps supplied with the Beretta SO10 shotgun are inert chamber inserts that allow the gun to be dry-fired without damaging the firing pins. • Open the gun. • Insert snap caps into the chambers (Fig. 16). • Pull the trigger to decock the first hammer. • Push the selector to the second position. (On some models this is not possible since the selector is blocked by a screw.) Fig. 16 NOTICE: If the shotgun features a SINGLE NON-SELECTIVE TRIGGER or a SELECTIVE, BLOCKED TRIGGER (inertia mass type) it is necessary to push the safety lever all the way rearward (safety engaged) and then push it forward (safety disengaged) to prepare the firearm for decocking the second hammer. • Pull the trigger to decock the second hammer. To take out the snap caps without recocking the hammers: • Remove the fore-end. • Lever the barrels downwards only as much as required to take out the snap caps. NOTICE: An excessive opening of the barrels could cause the separation of the barrels from the receiver. • Close the gun and replace the fore-end. - 76 -
