Tactical Gear And Weapon Is It Possible To Use a Shotgun As A Tactical Weapon?
Tactical Gear And Weapon
In 2005, Beretta Spa released the semi-automatic hunting shotgun A400 Xplor Unico. A series of studies and long development preceded the release of the weapon. The results of these studies have revolutionized the field of weaponry, introducing many science fiction innovations in 2009. An innovative approach to creating weapons has resulted in a new type of shotgun becoming the market leader in its category. Beretta engineers later decided the product had better uses than using the carbine exclusively for hunting. The decision led to developing a defensive and tactical shotgun, which the owner can use to solve many problems.
Historically, specialists from the Benelli company from Beretta Holding produced these kinds of weapons. As of 1983, this is the “daughter” of Beretta.
Compared with the previous generation of Beretta shotguns, the new weapon has several advantages. The “Tx4 Storm” shotgun was created as part of the new program. As the forerunner to the latest Model 1301, “Tactical”, it was released in 2011.
Shotguns were first introduced to a broader audience in 2014. An anodized aluminium frame provides additional structural strength. The weapon is coated in black, which gives it a classic appearance. Machine processing of the structure was performed using Beretta equipment. Among the many accessories you can attach to the shotgun are tactical flashlights and optical aiming devices, thanks to the Picatinny rail. Because of the configuration of the fence, the LPA “Ghost Ring” sighting device is integrated into the weapon.
Proper side controls have been enlarged to make them easier to access and manipulate. A shutter release button, a safety, and a cocking lever are located here. Corrugated surfaces ensure ease of use on these devices.
Beretta 1301 “Tactical”
For the new weapon , durable synthetic material was used for the stock and fore-end. It is more convenient to use the gun from the selected position because of the shape of the butt. Manufacturers also added a notch known as “fish scales”. It is possible to change the vertical position of the stock of a tactical shotgun. As a result, the weapon can be adjusted to a specific shooting style and the individual shooter since everyone has different parameters.
Beretta’s 1301 “Tactical” barrel is made from specially treated steel with an external finish. Beretta tactical shotgun barrels have several essential elements in their composition. Nickel, molybdenum, and chromium are the metals. Using cold forging, it is possible to produce high-strength barrels by using a certain percentage of each metal.
A total of 470 mm is the length of the barrel on this weapon. Approximately 1370 bar of pressure was applied to the barrel during barrel testing. The product has demonstrated a high level of reliability. Steel shot cartridges were tested, and high-performance cartridges also contained steel shot.
Notable tubular magazines hold six rounds of 12-gauge ammunition in the tactical shotgun. The shotgun measures 960 mm in length. Despite its small size, this is suitable for use in small spaces.
“Optima Choke HP”
An device, made of nickel-plated steel, evenly distributes shots across the dispersion area of a tactical shotgun. There is less than a 3% error in the distribution of pellets, indicating stable uniformity indicators. A gun with these numbers is impressive. In addition to reducing friction, these devices are highly corrosion-resistant.
The Blink gas shut-off system in the Beretta 1301 “Tactical” shotgun plays an important role. A piston with an elastic belt ensures tightness in the barrel bore during a shot (obturation) in this system. Using this mechanism, speed and pressure losses are reduced, and the level of barrel contamination is reduced. When automatically reloading a shotgun, the system saves up to 36% of the time. It makes the Beretta 1301 “Tactical” the fastest auto-loading shotgun in the world—consequently, the weapon fires at a higher rate. Beretta’s updated weapon has already been noticed by the military and police, who have become acquainted with it. A shotgun can be helpful in law enforcement and military operations for all these reasons.
Police, military, and hunters are not the only ones who pay attention to shotguns. Private security companies and sports shooting clubs are also planning to adopt it.
It was available exclusively to North American customers for a long time. About $1,060 was its suggested price. Recently, several countries have exported the shotgun. Local legislation and distance from the manufacturing plant determine the cost of these weapons.
A unique sports version of the Beretta 1301″Tactical”
Tactical carbine is recommended for those who intend to use it for sport shooting. An extended ventilated rib is located above the Beretta 1301 “Comp” barrel. A longer barrel and a more prominent magazine can be added to the same weapon version.
