Micro-Core is an innovative recoil pad developed by Beretta with the benefit of decades of real-world experience. The techno-polymer material is softer and lighter than rubber and expands its surface area on the shoulder, giving the Xplor secure and precise support.

Laboratory tests have shown two distinct peaks in recoil. The explosion of the ammunition is the first; the impact of the bolt against the receiver is the second. Kick-Off 3 is a third hydraulic damper that cushions this stress on the mechanical components and further reduces recoil by an additional 10% for a total recoil reduction of 70%.

KICK-OFF® technology gradually dissi pated recoil energy through two hydraulic oil dampers built into the stock, significantly reducing the felt recoil by 60%. At the same time, vibration and muzzle rise are decreased, while durability, and handling are increased.

Beretta makes the best barrels in the world. Starting with proprietary tri-alloy steel (Ni. Cr. Mo.), the metal goes through a unique manufacturing process. Deep hole drilling, cold-hammer forging, and vacuum distension create the very best ballistic performance available.

Blink is the new “engine” of the Xplor, and it is 36% faster than any other shotgun. Within the gas system, an innovative piston with an elastic scraper functions as a gasket, keeping the gun cleaner and making the Xplor the most reliable shotgun available.

Optima-Bore HP geometry was conceived to offer the best ballistic performance available, even with steel shot. The shot pattern remains perfectly uniform whatever the shell size, or load. Optima-Bore HP choke tubes further enhance the effect.

A400 Xplor Unico revolutionizes the world of semiautomatic

shotguns, offering the possibility of shooting all loads, from 7/8 to 2¼ ounces, with the same performance typical of

a high-performance competition shotgun. Light weight

(3kg), reduced dimensions, super compact receiver,

optimal balance and fast shouldering for every type

of hunting: A400 Xplor Unico. From now on different

loads are no longer a problem, they are an opportunity.

The only device in the world

that acts on the second recoil peak.

Precise laboratory testing clearly demonstrated that recoil has two very

distinct components: the explosion of the ammunition at the moment

of firing (1st peak) and the impact of the bolt against the receiver at the

end of its travel (2nd peak). Kick-Off3 is a third hydraulic dampener that

targets the 2nd recoil peak. In doing this, even the stress on the mechani-

cal components is notably reduced, increasing the service life of the gun.

TECHNOLOGIC ERGONOMICS

Micro-Core is an innovative recoil pad developed by Beretta

thanks to our experience developed over centuries on the

competition and hunting fields around the world. The open

cell technopolymer is softer, lighter and more slippery than

rubber. Micro-core expands gradually and instantly, increasing

its surface area on the shoulder and giving the shotgun secure

and precise support.

A further step forward in performance.

Soft, light and able to slide during shouldering.

Kick-Off® is the only recoil reduction

in the world that uses two hydraulic

dampeners very similar to those in

automobile suspensions. All the other

systems on the market are based on

the deformation of soft materials

like rubber, polyurethane or polymer

inserts. The difference? 70% less recoil

Blink is the new “engine” of the A400 Xplor, the

result of integrating the new Beretta gas system,

the rotating bolt head lock-up and a new feeding

system. The new gas system features an innovative

piston with a self-cleaning elastic scraper band that

also functions as a gasket, resulting in the cleanest

gas-operated shotgun ever produced.

Reliable speed and unequaled performance.

The special Optima-Bore HP geometry was conceived

to offer the best performance, even with steel shot. The

shot pattern remains perfect and uniform in every type

of hunting situation, complemented by the use of the

Optima-Choke HP choke tubes.

barrels that transforms the

special tri-alloy steel (A), into

an exceptional barrel, due

to a manufacturing process

that is unique. Thanks to

the deep drilling (B), cold-

Green receiver: a true cosmetic alternative

respectful of even the most classic tastes.

The finishing of the A400 Xplor Unico’s receiver

is an absolute innovation in the world of hunting

shotguns and represents the union between the

protective characteristics of anodizing and the

exclusive green color that renders the A400

Xplor truly “Unico,” a monster of technology.

Shotgun design has never been so beautiful

and functional at the same time.

From the fore-end insert to the

trigger guard and over to the

kick-off interface, each com-

ponent of the A400 Xplor has

been conceived to optimize

form, weight and functionality.
