Swanky Doodle Pigeon Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Stumbled on this while perusing the Beretta website..... http://www.ugb25xcel.com/ Looks...well...interesting to say the least. Anyone tempted? Just read the bumf. It enables the shooter to break the gun so they can move between stands more easily than with traditional semis, and also to have a second shot that is more consistant with the 1st . ie coming from the same barrel. Sounds reasonable. Could this be a revolution in the making? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country_est Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Quite like to look of that, Especailly if they made it in a 3.5" chamber as well. All the advantages of the auto with lack of recoil ect with all the advantages of safe broken gun transport. Looks good to me, just waiting for the prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 That is certainly an innovation and I can see it being a very successful concept. I wonder if Beretta have patented it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I don't see the need. Autosafe flag, job done. Does look nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacker Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 MMM, Looks nice, and suitable for us leftys! Probably going to cost around £1700 mark maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullbore Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Y'know I've never had a problem with any of my rifles not being able to break, if you're not happy with someone's safety, just don't shoot with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Its not just a safety angle, it will be easier to clean and an ideal weapon to pose with (which is very important ). It appears to have a 2 shot only capacity, with no magazine. Or am I reading this all wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I don't see the need. Autosafe flag, job done. Does look nice though its a semi auto, but with 2 shots just might as well have a o/u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Whether its succesfull will depend whether it can be classified as acceptable for driven shooting, where a semi is definitely not allowed. I can see that it could be a very popular gun if so as the weight will be less than a normal over and under and obviously have the benefits of less re-coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P03 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Saw the first one in the UK at the GMK stand at Avalon Guns charity shoot last year. Unfortunately I didn't get to have a go as it was in great demand, there were people waiting an hour just to have a couple of shots . Pesonally I agree with Fister WHY?? Mind you they said them new fangled superposed (O/U) guns would never catch on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 this concept is nothing new im affraid to say, a company called Vostok (whom i have a gun of) designed a pistol which bares an uncanny resemblance to this design (some years ago). However if they ever produce a 3shot i could see it being good. But so long as its 2 shot its a waste of space imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 ''I dont like it!'' Ok jokes asside, I honestly thing its a waste of time and wont take of. Im sure the price will be over high as well. I also dont trust the cartridge held to the side of the gun by a small clip. If you hunt anything like I do through thick forest, that would get caught and quickly end up on the ground somewhere. Yes I think the safety idea behind it is great, but IMO looks more like a toy then a useful gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
