Beretta's A400 Xtreme semiauto shotgun is ideal for upland or waterfowl hunting as well as target shooting. The action gives fast follow-up shots and is equipped with built-in rails, so you can easily mount optics. The unique Blink technology, shoots 36 percent quicker than any other type of semiauto shotgun. Its synthetic stock combines Beretta's Kick-Off system with an ultra-soft Micro-Core butt-pad, to minimize recoil and is designed to recoil parallel to the cheek mount. The OptimaBore HP barrel's finish offers superior resistance to the elements, including water, powder, sand and salt spray. The A400 Xtreme Plus features Beretta's exclusive Steelium Plus barrel, providing the best patterning possible from all hunting loads, along with further felt recoil mitigation. The barrel also utilizes a step rib with an integral mid-bead and fiber optic front bead, and lengthened forcing cones. Its stock features a soft comb, which reduces the felt recoil imparted to the shooter's cheek even further. The A400 Xtreme Plus also has an enlarged loading port, extended charging handle and bolt release, and Aqua Technology which is a protective coating to withstand the harshest elements. This model has a 28" barrel with five (5) black extended Optima HP choke tubes, Realtree Max-5 stock and receiver.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
