I don't know much about any of this. They were talking about it locally this afternoon. Among the snippets I picked up was that the Remington something is more reliable and that we shouldn't be buying Beretta's from Italy.
Our troops deserve the best, that's all I can say.
The Beretta is the only shotgun in the world designed from the ground up as a combat weapon. The ones we buy will be made here by Beretta USA.
There are still people who don't trust an automnatic shotgun and claim the Remington pump is more reliable. That has not been true since plastic replaced cardboard in shotshell manufacture 30 years ago.
