+36% RELOADING SPEED
The Beretta gas-operating system is fast like an eye’s blink. That’s why it’s called B-LINK®. The power of the gas-system, combined with the precision of the rotating bolt, ensure you a reliable, smart and fast cycling, making it the quickest reloading system in the semiauto category.
FULL AMMO COMPATIBILITY
Thanks to its precise rotating-bolt system and smooth reloading, B-LINK® runs everything, from light target to the heaviest super magnum loads, with flawless consistency.
LESS RECOIL
Relying on gas-operation, B-LINK® does not need recoil to reload and can therefore work with real recoil reduction systems mounted on the gun to provide comfort and stability, such as the Beretta Kick-Off® systems, offering a higher level of comfort, stability, and control.
EASY MAINTENANCE
With B-LINK®, the only weak point of the gas-operating system has been practically reduced to zero. The re-engineering of gas ports and the systematic reduction of all the mechanical frictions reduce dirt to the minimum terms. All this to make you experience the lowest maintenance need ever, and a smart, easy, fast and secure cleaning.
THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOOTING EXPERIENCE
By combining the recoil-independent B-LINK® operating system, Kick-Off® recoil-reduction technology, and the smooth ballistics of Steelium® barrels with optimized forcing cone geometry, Beretta semi-automatic shotguns are engineered to deliver class-leading recoil management and minimal muzzle rise.
This minimizes unwanted movement and discomfort on the shoulder and cheek, allowing shooters to maintain full control of the firearm, stay on target, and quickly reacquire the sight picture for fast and accurate follow-up shots.
In the Beretta AX800 Suprema series, the lightweight polymer receiver further enhances comfort by absorbing recoil energy and dampening vibrations.
PROVEN RELIABILITY
B-LINK® is the world’s most reliable system. The closing force is stronger because, when the reloading cycle begins, the energy available to unlock the bolt is significantly higher. Higher energy when opening allows higher closing force, preventing the bolt to unlock when it is not supposed to do it.
B-LOK® MAGAZINE CAP
B-LINK® frequently comes with the B-LOK® magazine cap, designed to let you quickly disassemble the shotgun and make cleaning and maintenance faster than ever. It guarantees complete closure within a 60° rotation, ensuring the easiest manipulation in every condition.
READY FOR ALL LOADS, FROM 24 TO 64 G
The power of ammunition is not a problem when you're not powered by recoil: the B-LINK® system and Beretta Steelium® barrels run flawlessly every ammo load and composition, from 24 to 64 grams, from lead to steel and other ecologic ammo.
