BERETTA - Catalogue 2021

62 TECHNOLOGIES BERETTA KICK-OFF SYSTEM WORLD’S BEST RECOIL AND MUZZLE RISE REDUCTION Kick-Off Mega is the most powerful recoil reduction system available today, ideal for 89 mm chambered shotguns, especially when you enjoy shooting high loads and hundreds of shots in a single day. It effectively combines 3 different devices that work synergistically, reducing the perceived recoil by up to 70%, ensuring greater stability, better control and faster target acquisition. Two hydraulic shock absorbers, similar to those used in the automotive and aerospace industry, positioned close to the rubber insert, together with return springs, effectively act on the first recoil peak. A third hydraulic shock absorber, inserted in the tie rod, acts on the second recoil peak caused by the impact of the slide against the receiver, further reducing the muzzle rise effect and the vibrations caused by the movement of the slide. Kick-Off Plus consists of two elastomer shock absorbers, positioned close to the rubber insert and equipped with return springs, which effectively act on the first recoil peak, reducing its perception up to 40%. A third elastomer shock absorber, inserted in the tie rod, absorbs the impact of the slide against the receiver, reducing the second recoil peak, the muzzle rise effect and the vibrations caused by the movement of the slide. The B-Steady system divides the stock into two sections: stock and pistol. The point of absorption of the recoil is in an advanced position, integral with the pistol, which is free to move back, leaving the stock stable and avoiding the annoying sliding of the nose piece on the cheek. The face remains firm and perfectly steady on the stock, without ever losing the line of sight. Kick-Off is the first recoil reduction system developed by Beretta using hydraulic shock absorbers similar to those used in the automotive and aeronautical industries. It consists of two shock absorbers inserted close to the butt plate, completed by return springs, which effectively act on the first recoil peak, reducing the perceived recoil up to 60%. A third elastomer shock absorber, inserted in the tie rod, acts on the second recoil peak caused by the impact of the slide against the receiver, further reducing the muzzle rise effect and the vibrations caused by the movement of the slide.
