Mystery Gun: Beretta Says New Xplor Can Take Down a Dinosaur
I received the invitation you see here from Beretta a few weeks ago. They are introducing a new gun called the Xplor and inviting a couple hundred gun writers from around the world to come to Italy to see it. I'll be there and will get a picture of the new gun back to you as quickly as I can.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what it is. I asked Beretta's shotgun PR manager what he could tell me about it, and what was up with the dinosaur foot on the invitation. I assumed that meant the gun was rugged, maybe armored like a Benelli Nova or Remington 887.
No, he said, it's a gun that's ready for any kind of game, up to and including a dinosaur.
Aha. I'm thinking it's a single shot shotgun with interchangeable rifle barrels, like a T/C encore. Then I thought some more, and it occurred to maybe, it's an O/U shotgun and you can switch on single shot, scoped rifle barrels. That would be cool: a two barreled gun for birds that converted quickly into an accurate single shot for bigger game. That's my best guess for now. You are all free to speculate. I'll tell you if I was right or if I even came close as soon as I know what it is. --Phil Bourjaily

Maybe a combo gun like a Drilling?
A combo guns sounds about right, I think this shroud of mystery is only because Benelli did it when introducing the Vinci..
I've come to expect performance and utility inversely propotional to initial hyperbole. Most likely this is a slight variation on some prior theme with a Great New Cartridge, room for tactical gadgetry expansion rails, and your choice of Ninja Black, Realtree Camo, or Case Hardened Simulated Corinthian Leather.
Still haven't seen anything I couldn't drop with a 12ga or .30-06. Everything else is basically hype.
Maybe a recoil controlling 600 nitro express? If you can't kill a dinosaur with that then you better use a RPG. Anything smaller than a dino and the concussion will kill it
Interesting. I'm wondering if it's a resurrection of the old "Paradox" double-barreled shotguns, which had rifling at the end of the barrels for conical bullets fired in place of shot. From the "ad," I am assuming that it would fire something heavy; you wouldn't want to use a .22/250 on a T-rex! Of course, he'd probably think that the "mother of all gadflies" was biting him! No, you'd want a very heavy projectile. Imagine if the gun had a decent muzzle brake, and perhaps other recoil-absorbing devices . . . it might be suitable for brown bear as well as Cape buffalo! It will be interesting, indeed, to see what Beretta unveils!
Why do I have the feeling it will be made of "polymer" and will have futuristic styling (i.e. it will be ugly, like the vinci), will have places to hang all manner of lights, lasers and back up sights, as they are trying to appeal to the "I love plastic guns" crowd.
Whatever......
My theory is a 10gauge auto. To me that doesn't look totally like a dinosaur foot, more like a turkey foot with some scales added to look more dinosaurish. But a 10 gauge would do a pretty good job on a dino too. I rule out the plastic stuff from the brushed metal background in the ads that I have seen.
How do I put in for a Dinosaur tag? I wouldn't even know what subspecies to apply for.
This smells like the same kind of buildup & hype campaign they did with the Vinci. Hopefully for them it won't be ugly enough to make a bulldog jump off a meatwagon like the Vinci was/is. FWIW, I would dearly love an o/u gun with interchangeable shotgun or rifle barrel sets.
Why do I get the sinking feeling that this will probably look like it was designed by the same people who designed the Pontiac Aztek?
They said dinosaur right? It wouldn't necessarily have to be a big one. Maybe this:
http://dinosaurs.suite101.com/article.cfm/smallest_dinosaur_ig_conclusio...
Happy Myles, I don't think you need a tag, just a time machine. No size or bag limit. lol
Happy Myles, I don't think you need a tag, just a time machine. No size or bag limit either. lol
Maybe they'll announce a new caliber for which you can readily buy factory loads from 55 to 220 grains. Their new rifle to accompany it could be a semi-auto with available large capacity clips (for the T-Rex). That would seem to meet the demands of their description.
Don't we already have the .30-06?
seadog,
Yeh, that must be the gimmick, this new rifle is going to be for the little bitty ones.
Sounds like a load of Pelosi to me.
What are they thinking? Getting gun writers to go to Italy during hunting season?
A remake of the PARADOX gun?
You better be taking the Mrs. on this trip or the rest of the season could go kinda rough.
It's gonna be a 900 cal. lol probly same hype they always do.
We already have the 700 nirto the 600 and the 460 whats next? Not to mentioon a bunch of other ass kickers that should work, if I cant kill it with my 375H&H then I am sol.
The closest living relative to the T-Rex is the chicken and the oldest living fossils that remotely resembles a dinosaur are alligators and crocodiles. So I guess this new gun is a .22/410, because a .22 or a 410 shot will take out either one of the 3 animals I just mentioned?
well, it is pretty easy to claim it could take down a dinosaur, since there aren't any on the planet, and no one knows how tough they would be to kill. we IMAGINE that they are similar versions of other life forms here on earth, only supersizer, and really, really tough. but in all reality, they may have drt with one throw of a spear. in any case, it is just hype, to cover up what they really have behind door #3. that is fine, that is what the auto makers did in the 50's and into the 60's(and maybe before that). plop a new car on the showroom floor, where everyone could see it, place a rope barrier around it, and cover it with a sheet. when "THE" day came, it was revealed. the hope was that people would flock in to buy one. but the dino is a bit "overkill", pun intended.
How about an RPG/.22/20ga. combo?
Well, there is theoretically the Mokole Mbembe, a very large sauropod like critter reputed by cryptozoologists in the Congo river drainage, then there are the "demon bats" reported to resemble pterodactyls that reputedly take off with the occasional New Guinean villager.
Perhaps Bennelli plans to introduce a 90 caliber recoilless laser guided tribarrel that has autotargeting capability and the ability to follow the hunter about on its own 5 legs and fetch game weighing up to 3.75 (metric) tons back to the flatbed truck required to bring it to the hunting grounds. Cost? a mere 475 million euros apiece and you have to pick it up personally in Lichtenstein. Hurry! Go buy it! you NEED this electronic hunting system before the sky falls in 2012 (it has an automatic perimeter defense mode too!) Get it on yer credit card! There is every possibility the banks wouln't be in any state to force collection on your default after 2012 anyway!
Maybe Beretta has finally made a gun truly for the future....For a little levity:
The Point of View Gun is a device created by Douglas Adams for the movie version[3] of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; it does not appear in any of the previous versions of the story.[4]
According to the film, the gun was created by Deep Thought prior to its long pondering of the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. When used on someone, it will cause them to see things from the point of view of the person firing the gun. According to the Guide, the gun was commissioned by the Intergalactic Consortium of Angry Housewives, who were tired of ending every argument with their husbands with the phrase: "You just don't get it, do you?"
Whoops. Benelli. *sheepish grin*
Could be 2 10Ga Barrels over a Rifle Barrel Larger then a .600 NE? I don't think I need it in the U.S.
As Arte Johnson used to say verrrrrrrrry interestink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is probably a 0 gauge that shoots slugs. It better have one hell of a recoil pad.
Any gun that'll kill a croc or an alligator is a "dinosaur killing" firearm.
Introducing the new Beretta combo::
A .60 Cal pistol with a .92 Cal Rifle with 17 round clip, x10 scope, and 5 kinds of ammo including Ballistic
Well there used to be a dinasour like creature ( a real whopper) not far from my old neigborhood who went by the name of "Evil Mary the Fairy "No cluw why and I didnt ask (Asuume however no relation to Tinkerbell)
I think the cops shot her 87 time one day ( back when most of em had 38's) when she would not ( and she still managed to hurt one guy pretty bad ) hold still to be tested for drinking a barrel of crown royal doing to much coke. (not A-cola) then beating her boyfriend senseless with a pool cue.
If they could invent a spoting arm that didnt weight 40 pounds and knock you down when it went off ,.
that would stop her ,and or Rosy O donnel in a "down hill" snit .
Dinosours would be like whacking prairie dogs at 50 feet with #2 goose loads .
Dave, It's an black rifle with a .203 launcher under the barrel... That would work...
The key word here is not 'dinosaur,' it is 'any kind of game.' Unless you can hunt ducks with a .416, this means some kind of shotgun. From a standpoint of muzzle ballistics, a 12 gauge shotgun can do anything a .45-70 can do, only better. Elephants have been killed with handguns. Check out this site:
http://israelmilitary.net/showthread.php?t=3152
The guys who build the ammo on this site may be loco, but they aren't stupid. If Beretta has come up with a shotgun that quickly goes from a bird barrel to rifled with scope, they'll have their gun.
I want to know where do you hunt a dinosaur It is probably a new cartrige or a double combo. I hope it is not out of my price range............
Bella, I think you got it partially right, at least. That blowed-up dinosaur foot looks an awful lot like the dried-up turkey claws I got nailed up to the side of my barn for backscratchin. I think what Baretta did was develop a laser range-finder usin old coke bottle bottoms as occulus amplifyers. You plug the system into the dim switch on your tractor lights and when you aim you melt without squeezin down. Just like The Great Northern Owl - dining down on turkey brains. They developed this system in better Italian restaurants.
That sounds cool. I bet its a 12 gauge.
I'm thinking 10 gauge auto with a detachable clip, 30 rounds of 10 ga slugs should take a T-rex pretty well, don't you think? Could use smaller mags for bird hunting.
Something else that could fit the bill is a small rocket launching weapon, with radar targeting and heat seeking and laser guided ammo. See that goose? Yeah, the one by that cloud over there, yeah That speck, WHOOSH! Boom! Just wait a few minutes, folks, it'll be down here sooner or later............
Flash! My "psychic friend" network informs me that Bennelli has created the worlds first Tokamak gun! you've heard of variable choke, this miracle of shotgun design fires a variable guage! Using ultra sciency magnetofluxtronic barrels this new scattergun fires caseless ammunition from a force field barrel in any shot pattern or density desired! In extra wide open choke Cheney would hardly have given his shooting buddy an extra freckle and in ultra full the force fields created by the unique magnitofluxtronic actually swage your shot pattern into a slug (warning use of uranium pellets in the magnitofluxtronic shotgun has a 83.27% chance of nuclear detonation). Imagine having a weapon that is guaranteed to take down ANY creature ever known to have inhabited planet earth! Magnotofluxtronic technology and self forging slugs fire projectiles at hyper velocities up to mach 7.2 (hearing protection strongly suggested) This fantastic ubergun will only cost you the equivalent of the annual budgets of 2 third world countries, but just think how much safer your family will be should Orcas grow legs again or polar bears start interbreeding with moose. Remember while our intrepid researchers continue their work on the ultimate shoulder fired hunting arm, Other intrepid researchers are attempting to extract Indricathere and Batchulothrium DNA just to give you the ultimate hunting experience (and provide interesting new meats for barbeque too).
Is this the gun from Ray Bradbury's "Sound of Thunder" ?
Damn, Elmer Keith would have loved this. Whatever this new wonder gun is, take advantage of being an invited member of the OFL (Order of Freeloaders) as Jack O'Connor referred to the gathering of gunwriters, and load up on good wine, fine Italian food, and wink at a few lovely ladies for me.
Bella -- I like the Tokamak gun idea. You should have a gun blog . . .
Wingshooter -- I'm already married to a lovely Italian. I'll explain to her that any winking I do overseas will be entirely on your behalf.
Thanks Phil, If I had a gun blog, would I also gain induction to the OFL?
I'm almost finished "testing" my Pedersoli Howdah pistol. When I get the cat herding accomplished I shall coerce a confederate into taking some video clips and perhaps I will post a review (I'm wondering where I can find some fletchettes, giggle, giggle).
Since Bourjaily is going instead of Petzel seems it is based on a shotgun. Or did they flip a coin? There's several established interchangeable single-shot shotgun/rifles out there already. Would likely want more than one shot at a dinosaur, so perhaps a double. If it is mag fed perhaps an auto based on the Benelli inertia system.
I'd bet on some switch barrel rig like the T/C. Good way to get a trip to Italy anyway!
I personally don't have anything against any of the dinosaurs that are still surviving, even Bella. So, I really can't see replacing the .375 H&H for something from Beretta, that is like the Benelli, that (so far), is all hype. If it is as fugly as the last offering, the Vinci, the thing to kill dinosaurs will be grossly overpriced, and be so ugly, there will be no need to shoot. Just pull it out, and the dinosuar will go into spasms at the ugly, like Davy Crockett grinning at the 'coons!
Whatcha bet is it a POS fugly turkey gun? I handled one of the Benelli Vinci's a while back and it felt like a dream, ergonomic and balanced. But dang, it was fugly! It was like a date you might take to the drive-in movie, but not to the prom....
Guys, think about it...
If they invited Phil, it HAS to be a shotgun. Does he even own rifles or handguns?
westkybanded -- For the record, I own:
a S&W 22A-1 .22 pistol
a 10/22
a Knight .50 caliber disk rifle
I deer hunt with the muzzleloader. The .22s are for plinking.
I don't want to ruin the surprise for you guys, but it doesn't look that futuristic to me. It's actually looking pretty good judging from the picture below:
http://armeria-azor.com/images/DSC00316%20resize.jpg
Well folks I do have some inside info. It is a new semi-auto shotgun. It will be worth the wait no-joke
Bman...have you heard about it or did you get a chance to use it???
I Can't say alot but it will be worth the wait. You know those Italian's they don't build no shabby stuff.
Here it is girls, It was released in Europe this week coming to America by at least November
http://jamesmarchington.blogspot.com/
Enjoy
I see an automatic with three hulls in the air. What can it do that my 1100 or Auto 5 cannot, except cost more???
Ho hum...ZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzzz
To paraphrase the late, great, George Carlin:
"It's amazing! It's astounding! It IS BULL$#I+ !!!!"
FWIW, at least what I've seen so far it's much better looking than the Vinci.......

Since Bourjaily is going instead of Petzel seems it is based on a shotgun. Or did they flip a coin? There's several established interchangeable single-shot shotgun/rifles out there already. Would likely want more than one shot at a dinosaur, so perhaps a double. If it is mag fed perhaps an auto based on the Benelli inertia system.
I'd bet on some switch barrel rig like the T/C. Good way to get a trip to Italy anyway!
Whatcha bet is it a POS fugly turkey gun? I handled one of the Benelli Vinci's a while back and it felt like a dream, ergonomic and balanced. But dang, it was fugly! It was like a date you might take to the drive-in movie, but not to the prom....
Guys, think about it...
If they invited Phil, it HAS to be a shotgun. Does he even own rifles or handguns?
westkybanded -- For the record, I own:
a S&W 22A-1 .22 pistol
a 10/22
a Knight .50 caliber disk rifle
I deer hunt with the muzzleloader. The .22s are for plinking.
I don't want to ruin the surprise for you guys, but it doesn't look that futuristic to me. It's actually looking pretty good judging from the picture below:

Well folks I do have some inside info. It is a new semi-auto shotgun. It will be worth the wait no-joke
Bman...have you heard about it or did you get a chance to use it???
I Can't say alot but it will be worth the wait. You know those Italian's they don't build no shabby stuff.
Here it is girls, It was released in Europe this week coming to America by at least November

Enjoy
I see an automatic with three hulls in the air. What can it do that my 1100 or Auto 5 cannot, except cost more???
Ho hum...ZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzzz
To paraphrase the late, great, George Carlin:
"It's amazing! It's astounding! It IS BULL$#I+ !!!!"
FWIW, at least what I've seen so far it's much better looking than the Vinci.......
Flash! My "psychic friend" network informs me that Bennelli has created the worlds first Tokamak gun! you've heard of variable choke, this miracle of shotgun design fires a variable guage! Using ultra sciency magnetofluxtronic barrels this new scattergun fires caseless ammunition from a force field barrel in any shot pattern or density desired! In extra wide open choke Cheney would hardly have given his shooting buddy an extra freckle and in ultra full the force fields created by the unique magnitofluxtronic actually swage your shot pattern into a slug (warning use of uranium pellets in the magnitofluxtronic shotgun has a 83.27% chance of nuclear detonation). Imagine having a weapon that is guaranteed to take down ANY creature ever known to have inhabited planet earth! Magnotofluxtronic technology and self forging slugs fire projectiles at hyper velocities up to mach 7.2 (hearing protection strongly suggested) This fantastic ubergun will only cost you the equivalent of the annual budgets of 2 third world countries, but just think how much safer your family will be should Orcas grow legs again or polar bears start interbreeding with moose. Remember while our intrepid researchers continue their work on the ultimate shoulder fired hunting arm, Other intrepid researchers are attempting to extract Indricathere and Batchulothrium DNA just to give you the ultimate hunting experience (and provide interesting new meats for barbeque too).
