The operating principle of the Beretta UGB25 Xcel semiautomatic gun with break open barrel based on short recoil,which keeps the internal parts of the gun clean even after prolonged use.The short recoil ( and low barrel axis position) almost completely compensates for muzzle jump during firing with quicker and easier realigment of the barrel on the target for the next shot. The low barrel axis position transmits for recoil forces in line with the shooters shoulder,thus minimizing felt recoil.Ther Beretta UGB25 Xcel features the unmistakable touch of Giugiaro Design.The ergonomically rounded back of the light alloy receiver fits smoothly into the stock,allowing quick and instinctive target acquisition.
