straight of the box and set at the optimal angle. When firing both single and full auto, rifle works very stable. During rapid single fire or short bursts muzzle rise or recoil is not a chal- lenge, even with standard muzzle device. Trigger is typical good mil- spec one, so people who used to "match" trigger may complain. Weapon is accurate. We fired from 50 meters (only that range was avail- able) using M5 red dot from prone position with magazine as a little sta- bilization and we were able to make a group of three holes within 1.5 cm radius. Remember that this rifle went through some tests already so it is a little "worn down" and despite that holds nice zero. Something that we can be a little picky about is a little too „thick and wide" handguard, way of how safe- ty selector works and reciprocating charging handle. Charging handle itself might be a little bigger. Other thing we didn't like was the way of sling attachment. The only option is to weave it through the the slots on the weapon. Beretta ARX 160 A3 is modern design rifle with amaz- ing barrel change system and de factor is one of the few quick changeable barrel assault rifles. Other rifles require tools or at least partial take-down. In ARX 160 A3 it takes seconds! ARX 160 A3 collapsible stock is comfortable but for tall people (185 cm and above) might be a little too short when firing without gear. Pistol grip is fixed but comfortable BEA X 160 A3 TECH SPECS Caliber: ..................................................................................................... 5.56 mm x 45 NATO Rate of fire: ......................................................................................................... 700 rds./min.
