Beretta ARX-160

Beretta recently introduced a new assault rifle. I first caught a glimpse of it during previews of SHOT-Show



It's your typical next-gen assault rifle:

- Quick Change Barrels
- Folding Stock
-Ambidextrous controls
- Short Stroke Piston System

Where this rifle really shines however, is it's ambidextrous ejection feature. With the push of a button, the rifle will eject spent casings on the opposite side, facilitating weak side shooting. From what I hear, it functions by having a dual-claw system, whereby one claw becomes the ejector, and another continues to be the extractor. Seems pretty innovative.


As you see here, it looks like a 1 MOA rifle.

[*ETA: Looks like I was wrong about the firing-hand controlled bolt release. Beretta did incorporate a trigger-finger controlled bolt release. Very nice.*]

I hear some European Special Forces are using it? What do you guys think?

Haha, in the video at 35 seconds, after he gets done unloading the entire magazine he looks at the camera with a look saying "yeah, I just did that and it felt great." 'Spect.

What do you think the cost of one of those bad boys is, KirStang?

I don't really have much to add to the actual OP, my weapons knowledge is limited and I don't want to pull a Strange Famous.

I couldn't take my eyes off from 1:34 to 2:20. That was simply incredible. I wish we could see how far he was when he was shooting those. I'm lucky to be within the same quadrant as where I'm aiming, so to see him make a hole, and another one, and another one, and connect them all was insane..

I wonder when Plan 9 is gonna finish those Bear patches.

Word is that Beretta's not planning on releasing these to the U.S. civilian market. But, if they could have introduced them here at $1,600 a pop, they would make a killing--comparable ACRs/SCARs, which go for around $2,000 plus or minus a couple-hundred dollars.

If they ever *did* introduce them, expect them to be around the $2k mark. That, plus all the hoops they'll have to jump through to import a 'non-sporting' rifle.

looks like a sig, scar and a beretta CX-9 glued together. I always wanted an FS2000 and a TAVOR but I wonder what the price is on this thing.

I'm pretty sure I had one of these when it was called the Brass Eagle Blade.

No anti gun person here but I gotta ask ...

I can fap to that photo in the OP all day long but WHAT POSSIBLY is the application of that weapon besides arming 10-15 men and invading Togo?

Isn't buying that for sporting reasons simply involve more in cleaning and purchasing ammo than actual enjoyment of use?

EDIT: Would you really hunt dear with that? What? Do you have a grudge? Are you trying to send the dear a message?

Tactical competition shooting, target shooting, varmint hunting (with a longer barrel and suitable loads), deer hunting (at ranges under about 150 yards/meters), and just plain having fun. With proper parts support, it could make a serviceable 2A platform as well.

I know plenty of people who hunt deer with sport-utility rifles. My Mom uses her Steyr MSR or MSAR STG-556-HB. Original Recipie 5.56mm (55gr @3,000fps) is -very- effective as long as you keep the range down. The AR-15 platforms are also extremely popular for hunting varmints and crop depredators like Prairie Dogs, Groundhogs, Gophers, etc.

I am a lefty and when I bought my Colt I almost bought the left handed stag arms model, but didn't want to lose the muscle memory i had already established thru the military...

so i really like the ability to switch which side the spent casings are being ejected..

Super ultra modular adjustable assault rifles are all the rage... so why do they all seem to have fixed pistol grips?

My bare bones AR has a bolt on one I can swap out. Huh.
