Beretta 686 E Evo

I recently got a new Beretta 686 E Evo and when I was cleaning it I put it back together and put snap caps in it to pull the trigger, thing was when I pulled the trigger it would only fire the bottom barell but wouldent chage over to the top by its self, is this normal ie... does it need recoil to change the barells over ?

try bumping the stock on the floor it should change over.

It changes over and lets me fire the top barell when I swich the barell selector but wont fire bottom then top with snap caps in

It inertia trigger it needs the recoil to turn over to the other barrel.

As said above give it quick hard smack with your hand on the butt pad to engage the next barrel

that's what I thought, had to ask

just done it, works perfect why do they use an inertia trigger ?

+1 bump with your palm does the trick

Mechanically simpler than selective mechanical triggers I think.

 

Do none selective trap guns use inertia triggers? I know 725s use mechanical triggers...
