The operating principle of the Beretta UGB25 Xcel semiautomatic gun with break-open barrel is 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 realignment of the barrel on the target for the next shot. The low barrel axis position transmits the recoil forces in line with the shooters shoulder, thus minimizing felt recoil.
The 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. The polished sides contrast pleasingly with the other matte anti-glare surfaces.
The streamlinedreceiver and the newly designed fore-end with its extended checkered configuration
combine to give the UGB25 Xcel an extremely attractive look.
The cartridge carrier receives the second cartridge on the right-hand side of the receiver, making it immediately ready for use. It is chambered automatically through the feeding port after the first round in the cartridge chamber has been fired.
The design of the cartridge carrier button and its position on the receiver ensure quick and easy removal of the cartridge on the carrier.
The ejection port is in the bottom of the receiver. The ejector expels the spent hull downward, away from the shooter and nearby competitors, and is user-friendly for both right- and left-hand shooters.
I held this gun in my hands today & I felt in love ;)

Got one (the sporting variant) and would not swop it back for my old 687... a dream to handle, point and service! Only downside is the slightly strange break down and reassembly for its travel case

Definitely an innovative design, but does anyone else think thats its kind of impractical? I mean, as time goes on, we see that many break action trap guns have fewer moving parts. After large amounts of rounds I would think this would gum up easy. However, I cannot say that I dislike Beretta - I shoot a 682 myself - but would LOVE to get my hands on a Ljutic because of its looks and fit of a semi-automatic. This could very well be an answer to that! :D
