For those of you who haven’t heard of the SHOT Show, it’s “HUGE” with everything from airguns to military weapons and body armor.

If you hoped to cover all of the displays and booths at the four day show, you’d need to run through the show, so these items listed below are just a few of the hundreds of new items that we saw at the show.

Beretta

Beretta unveiled its new semi-auto shotgun, the A400 Xplor Unico, an extremely fast, light and easy to shoot shotgun.

Their upgraded recoil reduction system will reduce recoil by as much as 70 percent.

It features a shortened receiver, 3 inches instead of 3 1/2-inches decreasing the overall gun length.
Their patented Kick Off recoil-reduction system that houses two hydraulic dampeners, reducing recoil by up to 60 percent—was upgraded to “Kick Off Cubed,” which uses a third shock absorber in the stock bolt to further reduce recoil and mechanical stress when shooting the gun.

It also features their new Micro Core butt pad making the gun more comfortable to shoot which also helps the hunter to properly shoulder the shotgun.
