Instruction Manual

all Benelli semi-automatic shotguns, uses the
recoil energy to cycle the action. This does
away with the problems stemming from recoil-
ing barrels, especially barrel vibrations when
the shot is fired and the need for an adjustor for
powerful shells, as well as the problems of gas-
operated systems that require frequent cleaning
and which may malfunction under adverse cli-
matic conditions.
The shotgun can operate with a wide range of
cartridges, thanks to the high degree of perfor-
mance being acquired and their 3” 1/2 magnum
chambers. The inertial system requires, however,
a minimum of kinetic energy, which is necessary
to achieve a normal cycling of ammunition.
Extensive testing in ballistics labs and repeated
field testing of our line produced weapons put
at 230 kgm the lowest level of kinetic energy
that must be generated by the cartridge to fully
cycle the action (value measured by mano-
metric barrel at 1 m from the muzzle).
