A KICK-OFFÂŽ technology gradually dissipated 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.
D 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.
B Laboratory tests have shown two wo distinct peaks in munition is the first; recoil. The explosion of the ammunition the impact of the bolt against the receiver is the second. Kick-Off 3 is a third hydraulic draulic damper that chanical components cushions this stress on the mechanical and further reduces recoil by an additional 10% for a total recoil reduction off 70%..
E Beretta makes the best barrelss 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 er forging, and vacuum distension create the very best ballistic performance available.
C 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.
F 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. OptimaBore HP choke tubes further enhance the effect.

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

The operating system of the A400 Xplor is a true jewel of engineering that distinguishes itself from all other systems on the market with its exceptional cycling speed. Being the fastest to shoot follow-up shots means increasing your chances of hitting the target. With an A400 Xplor anything is possible.
HIGH-SPEED MECHANICS
Reliable speed and unequaled performance.
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.

technology of the Beretta 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), coldHammer forging (C), and to the special vacuum distension (D), the steel acquires the ideal characteristics to offer the best ballistic performance available today.
PERFECT BALLISTICS
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.
From the fore-end insert to the trigger guard and over to the kick-off interface, each component of the A400 Xplor has been conceived to optimize form, weight and functionality.
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.
