Semi-automatic rifle Beretta ARX100

58


Beretta in Houston, Texas at the 142nd National Rifle Association meeting unveiled the third-generation Beretta ARX100 rifle to the general public. This rifle is based on assault rifles and is intended for the United States market. The civilian population can freely purchase the Beretta ARX100 starting in August 2013. The Beretta ARX100 is a gas-piston semi-automatic rifle that is the civilian version of the Beretta ARX160 assault rifle.

In 2008, the Beretta company (Gardone Val Trompia, Italy), which is one of the oldest, largest and most famous among manufacturers weapons, a revolutionary new assault rifle platform was released, called the ARX-160. The basis of the rifle is a completely body made of polymeric materials, and automation, which is built on the removal of powder gases from the bore. The stroke of the gas piston is short. The ARX-160 assault rifle is quite reliable and modular. Thanks to its qualities, the rifle was almost immediately adopted by the Italian armed forces to replace the 70/90 rifles and carbines. This rifle has received worldwide recognition - several countries have purchased ARX-160 assault rifles for special forces and military units. In the United States, several law enforcement agencies have acquired this rifle. In addition, the ARX-160 rifle was offered for the US Army's Individual Carbine program.

On the basis of this system, two short-barrel modifications were developed. destinations (ARX-160 PDW and ARX-160 SF), as well as the transition to the 7,62x39 mm caliber. In 2012, for the first time, a civilian sports modification was demonstrated, which has a chamber for a small-caliber unitary cartridge of 5,6 mm caliber. This modification was designed to meet the expectations of sports shooters who have long wanted to get a "full-caliber" civilian version of the rifle.

At the 142nd meeting of the National Rifle Association, Beretta finally granted this request. Beretta USA's North American subsidiary, headquartered in Accokik, Md., began shipping the ARX-100 rifle, which is a semi-automatic civilian version of the ARX-160 rifle, in August. The ARX-100 semi-automatic rifle has many changes focused on sporting use, but at the same time it retains many of the main features of the original.




Rifle Beretta ARX100 equipped with everything you need and gives the user a system that is convenient in all respects. ARX-100 will use piston automatic rifle ARX-160, but modified in such a way as to exclude the possibility of switching to continuous fire mode, as well as the alteration back to a combat rifle. In addition, it will be incompatible with the specialized elements of ARX-160, allowing to fire in automatic mode.

The design of the rifle includes the upper and lower parts of the receiver made of polymer, the handguard and the top bar. The pad has a bar for installing three accessories. The monolithic MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail mount makes it possible to mount various optical and sighting equipment. The folding telescopic buttstock, which is a standard element of the rifle, allows you to conveniently transport the weapon. The “reinforced” type stock is designed in such a way that it can be used as an emergency tool.

Semi-automatic rifle Beretta ARX100


The ARX100 barrel quick change system has been implemented. The barrel can be chambered for: .300 Blackout or .223/5.56. To replace the barrel, press a pair of protrusions located on each side of the forend, remove the barrel. Installing another barrel is done by inserting and pressing until it clicks. 16" or 20" barrels are available to the general public.

The mass of the rifle is relatively small and allows the shooter to fire equally comfortably with both hands. The magazine release and safety are located on both sides of the ARX100. The cocking handle at the request of the shooter can be installed on the right or left side of the weapon.

According to experts, the Beretta ARX100 rifle is a light, comfortable and versatile platform that sets new standards for civilian rifles.

In the United States, the Beretta ARX100 semi-automatic rifle is currently available for $1950. European shooters will not be able to purchase the ARX100 until early 2014.

        Are you so far behind? The AK has been in service for such a long time, because of its reliability, it was initially inferior to the M16 in terms of accuracy and convenience, but its superiority was recognized by everyone. If you have to fight for a long time in conditions when normal cleaning of the machine gun is impossible, it is better to have the AK and not its more accurate and convenient competitors.

            AKs are not Zhiguli, weapons do not develop like cars. By the way, cars are now much worse than they were 20-30 years ago. Audi 80 or Mercedes Eshka of the late 80s are much more reliable than modern products from the same manufacturers. Now it is calculated that the car will last a maximum of 10 years, before being sent to the scrap, in old models it was laid down for 20 years. At the same time, it cannot be said that cars have become better in terms of handling, dynamics, comfort, safety, but a large number of electronic gadgets have appeared, and cars now resemble a smartphone.

      Already allowed (I wonder with the help of whom or what?). But the AK-12 is essentially the same AK (original). All its minuses (for all its pluses) were as they were. There are no changes (innovative) in the system. The corporation offers to buy from it what is already filled up with army warehouses, just slightly changing the appearance and sticking "-12" to the old name. In general, in their opinion, the Kalashnikov system is the final result of engineering thought that does not require improvement. It's a pity.

        Well, Mr. Alex_T categorically does not want to collect under fire for a painfully long time after such a fall of a plastic karamultuk springs scattered on all four sides and whispered. He does not want and that's it! I also don't want to. If you, Mr. Pupyrchaty, do not burden you excessively, post as an argument for discussion a video of the barrel falling from a height of the second floor or documentary results of such tests, as well as effective shooting after this fatal error.

Or how long will it take to scrape off the dirt if this sample, replete with corners and holes, accidentally falls into a tank track and can a warrior fire from it?

        The main thing is not the form, but the content. But there is such a question. If you attach someone with an AKM butt, it won’t seem enough. Yes, and under attack, say, a sapper shovel can be substituted instead of a shield. And how will this plastic toy behave in such a situation, and how much after that can it be used for its intended purpose, or at least repaired for not very expensive?

    An interesting weapon, but the question is, the bolt handle is rearranged, and the direction of ejection of the shells? And what is "use the butt as an emergency tool" - in the face when it jams? And here is the plastic, all the same, our testers usually bring down everything where there is a lot of plastic, even at the stage of preliminary tests ... I don’t know how. holding on to it, and even better, shooting. Let's see how it will catch on with buyers. Especially in the troops.

    Probably, I am the first who saw this beast alive from all the highly respected members of the site. Yes, it is indeed available in major gun stores in the US. For example, in "Cabellas", where I actually got caught by accident. Yes, the thing is a little bulky but surprisingly light. Everything is plastic and it is not easy to find iron elements in your hands (except for the barrel) the first time. But it sits very well, the butt is adjustable. It lays down where it needs to be, very quickly, like a glove. The fact that things change so quickly and so easily is a definite advantage. This is generally amazing. A small minus in my opinion is a certain bulkiness, but it is offset by light weight. Beretta really never ceases to amaze with new models and technologies for the introduction of modern plastics in handguns ... Yes, you can shout "cheers for the patriots" that there is nothing better than a "Kalashnikov" on planet earth, but weapons experts and connoisseurs have a slightly different opinion. And the experience of fighting modern small arms with Kalashnikov variants of all times clearly showed the advantages of modern systems. The winner in a weapon duel is the one who outstrips the enemy's shot by a split second. And in order to get ahead, it is necessary to make the weapon convenient and light with obligatory special optical devices (such as Red Dot or ACOG). There is no other way for the development of small arms of this type. I think that even a person who is not very knowledgeable in the arms business is clear that the Russian arms industry is lagging behind, very, very significantly. Reason to think.

    ...... you are about this, the venerable Tracer, tell the Afghan Mujahideen who are fighting the good old Kalashnikov, as far as I know, the M-16 and M-4 are not very common among them. And for some reason, proud American soldiers, armed with the most modern small arms, have not achieved much success in outpacing the shots of the Taliban fighters, and are not very eager to go beyond the perimeter of their fortified bases, but prefer to bomb from a height. so where, then, is the overwhelming superiority of the most modern small arms with the sights you mentioned. And in my opinion a lot depends on the person. At one time in Afghanistan I saw the notorious "Bur", and just like a Pashtun shepherd shoots from it, it seems to be made in the 1870s, and I would not dare to fall for it in the 21st century ..... ... so, as always, "maybe all the same with eggs in your pants" you will figure it out from the beginning ......

You are clearly not on this site. The Majoheds are fighting not because they have a choice of modern small arms, but because they don’t. And besides the Chinese Kalashnikovs, there is also nothing and a PC and the entire former Soviet rifle arsenal. Judging by your knowledge in shooting, you still tell me about the "Bullet with a displaced center of gravity" in the new "Kalash". "Goes into the chest and out the leg."

        Lee-Enfield 1904 is an English rifle built on the basis of the Lee-Enfield rifle of the 1896-1899 model.
        During the Afghan war (1979-1989) it was widely used by the Afghan Mujahideen in the armed struggle against OKSVA. Among the Soviet soldiers was called - the English rifle "BUR".
        .... you love Wikipedia so much, so you probably believe it more than me ....
        .... about bullets with a displaced center of gravity, they made me laugh, a month ago I already discussed in the same way with one defender of the White House, and explained to him the device of the PS cartridge, so you are showing it to the wrong person. By the way, I didn’t see it from my foot, but I saw a lumbago with an inlet in the right intercostal space, and I saw it over the right shoulder blade at the weekend, so it also happens, you know ......
        .... and about your GREAT shooting knowledge - from your post, well, I just can't judge them, where is the opinion of a specialist about the characteristics that affect the accuracy and stability of shooting, where is the analysis of the successful decision of the constructors about the trigger or bolt group, nothing of this I did not see in your "specialist" reasoning, but I saw only the opinion of the "designer", light, comfortable in the hands, a lot of plastic, everything is so modern, pretentious ...
        ... by the way, I don’t cheat the barrel itself at all, nothing is said about it in my post, it’s possible that it’s a very good thing, I don’t know, therefore I don’t write unfounded ...

          Dear, and who actually curses the AK family? I posted a post on the topic of a new weapon seen, unlike you, with my own eyes. In your knowledge about Lee Enfield is simply shocked. But now is not about that. It seems to me (sorry for politeness) that you do not understand the discussion a little. It's not about body kits (although they are also). But the point is the new construction providing a faster and more accurate shot, that's all. If you do not understand the subject of discussion, do not climb into the Kalash row with a "pig's snout". Do you think the Americans are leaving, frightened by the Mudzhoheds with Chinese rusty Kalash? Things like politics and economics (I keep quiet about geopolitics) are probably not quite familiar to you. Learn and read nothing. And your comments will be on the topic and interesting to everyone. As for my competence .. I have been doing shooting sports (rifle) for 27 years. And in the army he was a sniper and a machine gunner ... And there are awards for the homeland. My experience allows me to draw conclusions, unlike probably from yours. And wind up on your mustache, if respected site members speak politely to you, this does not mean that you can be rude. And in the army, I think I would talk to you differently for rudeness.

            ..... things like politics and economics are not known, and why the hell do I know them, because there is an "American uncle" who will explain all politics to us and calculate the economy, everything is only for our good, because he sleeps and dreams, as it were to do this so that we live better, he is tormented by insomnia, but he suffers and worries for all of us ....

      The Afghan Mujahideen do not have lave to pay 2 green pieces for a barrel. For two pieces they will buy 10 self-made AKs (almost ten) and arm 8 martyrs.

        ..... not well, the Afghan ones don’t, and there are “stupid shahid suicide bombers”, but how are the Syrian “revolutionaries, fighters for the ideals of Western democracy”, all of Europe and Pindos supply them there, and even American instructors are training in Jordan, now is the time to prove that it is super-duper Western weapons that help defeat the "Assad dictatorship", why not show the "absolute superiority" of modern systems over the notorious AK, because it seems that this is exactly what "friends- suppliers" and are interested, but for some reason the Syrian opposition is fighting for the most part with AKs in their hands, and by the way there are a lot of professionals, and not some kind of duped suicide bombers. they’ve been versed in weapons for the last 10-15 years they’ve been fighting .....

    Not being a complete specialist in the field of firearms, nevertheless - Sunu and his three kopecks. The sample under discussion, due to the mass of attached bells and whistles, will certainly not work reliably in mud and other difficult operating conditions. So, sissy, shoot at the shooting range ... Whether it's AKM, AKMS!

    such a butt should have been on the AK-74 for a long time, is it really not obvious? Kalash with its reliability is not ice for convenience.

      Everyone says something - not ice, outdated,. And specifically what is wrong with AK? I understood everything: we need to put the AK mechanic in a stylish futuristic plastic case, stick picatinny rails on all sides, change the design of the muzzle brake-compensator, change the name to, for example, "Hyperbaloid 2020", hold a global PR campaign, after which snotty , pimply youths, will change their "authoritative" opinion and will no longer scold AK, but on the contrary, maybe they will praise a little, a drop, although this will already be real fantasy.

    Excuse me, you yourself what kind of body? It is not too small for such statements, and even in such a tone that, they say, the "celestial" deigned to "dark" eyes slightly open to what is happening. Don't laugh, clown.

    Here, gentlemen, I bring a photo of a living "beast". True, there were no longer any in 5,56 caliber (yesterday, for example, they were). The small-caliber (22LR) version for the civilian market remained. But absolutely the same, except for the caliber and the possibility of replacing the barrel. The description "to the touch" led a little higher. I put a very high mark on the quality of workmanship .... Super. By the way, I twisted the Bulgarian AK clone in caliber 7.62 / 39 ..very good quality. Unlike the Romanian remake ... The quality is the worst. I didn't even want to take it. This is a separate topic for a separate article.

    Well, what is so outstanding about this rifle? A beautiful plastic body kit and no more. Well, accuracy can still. Although I would like to look at its accuracy after a day of operation in Afghanistan. for use in Europe or America can and will do.

    The Majoheds are fighting not because they have a choice of modern small arms, but because they don’t. And besides the Chinese Kalashnikovs, there is also nothing and a PC and the entire former Soviet rifle arsenal.


    ...... how so, not in order, but why not, why the United States supplied its allies with obsolete weapons from 1980 to 1989, why did not provide the "great fighters for the freedom of Afghanistan from the Soviet threat" with the opportunity to "get ahead of the shot", because then if the victory of the "democratic forces" would come faster and be more obvious!!!!!! This is a betrayal of the interests of all "democratic" humanity, to urgently conduct an investigation, hearings in Congress and to the scaffold of the guilty!!!!
    .... here you are with your reasoning and got caught, after all, I didn’t argue that AK is more accurate or not, I said that you just need to be able to shoot. You say that they don’t have a choice of weapons, and thank God or Allah for that, I don’t know, otherwise if there was a choice, but with your modern bells and whistles, they wouldn’t be your nose for the territory of the base, you would they would crawl through bases, well, or along underground galleries. So when you build a gun that will outstrip the Taliban with Kalash, then you’ll already try to argue with us (SA), otherwise we drove spirits with Kalash in SA, but you can’t with ARX, so you still have to grow up before us and grow up kids.......

    You can praise only for unpretentiousness, according to the accuracy of the SCS, it will put it in your belt, and you think that I am worried about the current appearance.
