Inertia vs. Gas

TJHell · February 23, 2007, 01:03 PM

Im sorry i didnt make this clear, and i know you cant read my mind.

Talk about opening a can of worms!!!

Gixerman1000 · February 23, 2007, 05:01 PM

I love my Gas Operated Benelli.

RUT · February 23, 2007, 05:07 PM

Is that like my inertia driven Beretta??

XD Gunner · February 23, 2007, 06:35 PM

I like gas operated, but don't like Benelli or Beretta....

Ill stick to my bolts and, yes, I mean shotguns...

Gixerman1000 · February 23, 2007, 07:53 PM

Beretta owns Benelli so I guess either way they win lol.

lol, do you have one of the inertia driven Beretta 1200F or 1201F/FP or were you joking, if so how do you like it ??

The only autoloader I've shot is an Ithica/SKB M900. Is it gas or inertia? I'm very happy with how it shoots, personally.

BUCKMARK · February 23, 2007, 10:16 PM

You guys are all right!

Beretta owns Benelli.
Beretta made recoil operated guns...like my Pintail.
Benelli makes a gas gun.

Beretta vs. Benelli is a win-win.

The question is which system is better?

Recoil/inertia driven guns have more felt recoil for the most part...but they have fewer parts to break, clean and jam up. Recoil guns were known as more reliable.

Gas guns were more picky about ammo, harder to clean and they broke more often. They had less felt recoil.

Today things have changed. Many manufactures have the gas gun perfected for reliability and ruggedness. The Beretta is a fine gas gun!

On the other hand, Benelli has reduced the felt recoil on their guns with stock inserts and so forth. Benelli is also a fine gun.

Gas guns are more popular across the board, but a inertia driven gun is also a fine choice. Shoot em all, and pick the one you like best!

These are precisely the reasons I bought my Benelli Sport ll, and fortunately, I'm not recoil sensitive. Once you buy into this, it's hard to go back to a gas gun. (at least for me)

BUCKMARK · February 23, 2007, 11:10 PM

The Sport II and Super Sport are awesome clay crushers! I have shot em both.

Enjoy.

Love my M4!

bubbavinny · March 6, 2007, 04:06 PM

My Montefeltro 20 is the best gun I have ever shot. Period.

mswestfall · March 6, 2007, 08:53 PM

It's six-to-one a half dozen to another. To me they both have their place.

The only real complaint I have about both of them is that they are longer than a break action gun. I am also more comfortable with a group of shooters when I know the gun is "safe" when it is broken open. It's nice to know that the firing pin is not in line with a shell. You can also look down a break action and know that there are no obstructions in the bbl. This is good to know in the field. I unload and look down the bbls of my O/U often while hunting.

Back to your topic:
I've shot several inertia guns and have no complaints. I suspect that it's easier to clean than a gas gun.

I'm still taken back ever time is see JMBrowing's A5.

Just my 2 cents.

fattsgalore · March 7, 2007, 09:26 AM

This is on off subject. What action dose the AA12 auto shotgun use. I saw it literally has less kick then any almost any shotgun I've seen or rifle for that matter. They had a comparison. A lagre man shot it then it was handed to a small petite woman whom had no problem with control. This intrest me.

kozak6 · March 7, 2007, 11:59 PM

It's gas operated, but it fires from an open bolt and has a ridiculously long bolt travel.

Earlier version were open bolt direct blowback with advanced primer detonation, kind of like a scaled up Uzi.

Kilrain · March 9, 2007, 03:08 AM

M3 Benelli..........pump or recoil operated.......no gas necessary.....just a thought.......

dairyland · April 1, 2007, 09:53 PM

Take a look at my hands-on comparison of the Xtrema II w/ KO vs. SBE II and M2 w/ ComforTech at http://www.huntersparadise.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3

HSMITH · April 1, 2007, 10:10 PM

I want a gas gun all the way, more reliable and softer shooting. You CAN get a Benelli in shooting shape, but it is a costly proposition.

RUT · April 2, 2007, 05:53 AM

>>You CAN get a Benelli in shooting shape, but it is a costly proposition.<<

Oh, I don 't know.... my Sport ll was in "shooting shape" right out of the box. Didn't cost me a dime extra.

Logs · April 9, 2007, 07:52 PM

Well I shot my Beretta 391 and Benelli Super 90 this weekend at few clay birds and can't tell that much difference to be honest.

Both go bang and have similar recoil to me. My brother is looking at getting a new scatter gun and wanted to try them out, he is still confused on which one to get. Both of my guns have been very dependable. I like the looks of the Beretta, but other than that it is a toss up.
