Beretta Cx4 Storm

From The D Archives

The Beretta Cx4 is a futuristic-looking carbine manufactured by Beretta. The weapon is a pistol-caliber weapon aimed for a multitude of tasks, such as hunting, personal defence and law enforcement. Seven different models accept full-size Beretta magazines from the 92/96, Cougar, and Px4 series pistols in 9 mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. The cold-forged 16.6-inch (422 mm) barrel is chrome-lined for long life and corrosion resistance with any ammunition.

The name "Cx4" stands for "carbine times 4", as it is chambered in four different calibers. The 9x21mm chambering is in fact, commercially available in the United States of America. The Cx4 Storm was developed to be used in conjunction with other Beretta semi-automatic pistols. For example, the magazines for the Beretta 92FS chambered in 9 mm can be used in the Cx4 (also chambered in 9 mm). This aids in a smaller loadout — no longer needing to carry separate magazines for the rifle and handgun — and adds redundancy, allowing a person to carry more ammunition without adding weight. Using the non-Beretta Storm Magazines require a two piece kit (not included with rifle). The pieces consist of the following: PX4 9mm and .40 caliber magazines require the C5C620 insert and C89210 release button.
