SHOTGUNS
M3P, RS202 M1-M2

The high usefulness of pump action and semi-automatic shotguns is becoming more and more evident in all those military, law enforcement and security performances requiring to switch over in seconds to different ammunition types suitable for each specific situation.
That is why the RS202 M1, M2 pump action and especially the lastest Beretta M3P semi-automatic pump shotguns are so ideal for the above-mentioned operative situations.
Their versatility of use, allowing to handle any 2 3/4", 12 gauge loads (lead, rubber, plastic ball cartridge, shotshells, buckshots as well as tear gas, smoke shells and grenades, etc.) is certainly not the only feature they boast.

The Beretta M3P and the DFM system

The Beretta's new-born M3P is a semi-automatic and pump action shotgun. The DFM system (DFM = Dual Functioning Mode) allows to use this firearm as a semi-automatic gun, thus offering all the advantages of easy handling and quickest follow-up shots, or to switch it over as a pump action shotgun operating with any type of loads from the heaviest to the hightest ones (minimum propelling charge).
The change from one functioning mode to the other is simple and quick: it just requires a short rotation of a ring located at the end of the forearm which can be easily worked also holding the firearm in the shooting position.

The prismatic magazine

Another important new feature of the Beretta M3P is the replaceable 5-shot prismatic magazine, ensuring added ease of handling of the firearm, fast loading within seconds, thus giving maximum ease of use.

The folding shoulder stock

The ease of handling of the Beretta M3P shotgun is truly outstanding: already at first glance its compactness is striking.
When more compactness is required, just fold the shoulder stock on top of the shotgun; in this position the shoulder stock acts also as a carrying handle.

RS202 M1 and M2

The Beretta RS202 M1 and M2 pump action shotguns are among the most reliable shotguns with dependable performance in this family, as they take advantage of Beretta's experience in the manufacture of over one million of automatic shotguns of which they are keeping the same locking system, feeding and firing mechanism.
The tubolar magazine can hold up to 6 shells.
Both models are equipped with a device (bolt disconnecting lever) allowing to extract the chambered shell without having to fire it.
The metal shoulder stock with rubber butt plate can be folded on the left side of the gun.
The top of the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mount.
The pistol grip shape ensures maximum comfort.
