When we talk about innovation in firearms for hunting or sport shooting, rarely does something appear that truly marks a turning point. Benelli Advanced Impact achieves just that: it is a new barrel and choke system designed to surpass traditional limits of speed, distance, and impact. Here, we tell you what makes it special, how it improves upon what you already knew... and why it should interest you if you are looking for maximum performance.
Cutting-edge technology
-
The barrel has been completely redesigned from the inside out: internal diameters have been enlarged (e.g., 19.6-19.8 mm in 12 gauge, etc.) to optimize the flow of pellets and improve ballistic results.
-
The Advanced Impact System chokes are offered in "oversized" versions with or without knurling, for 12, 20, and 28 gauges, with internal (and external) body lengths designed to obtain the best pellet dispersion.
Faster, further, deeper
Benelli didn't stop at the design: this system promises and delivers notable improvements on several fronts:
-
Speed
A cartridge fired with the Advanced Impact system is, on average, faster than with a standard barrel. This translates into a more compact dispersion pattern and higher pellet density on the target, regardless of the type of ammunition you use. -
Superior range
The added speed not only improves penetration but also allows for shooting at greater distances without losing effectiveness. More useful range in real hunting or shooting situations gives you an advantage. -
Deep impact (“K.O. effect”)
The pellet pattern not only reaches further but also has greater penetration capacity, achieving a clean shot with better devastating effect on the target.
Steel vs. lead — beyond eco-friendliness
A highly notable aspect: the Advanced Impact system also improves performance when using steel shot, something that usually penalizes long-range shots. The impact difference between steel and lead is significantly reduced. This not only provides a technical advantage but also responds to current needs for environmental regulation and sustainable use.
Why choose Benelli Advanced Impact?
If you are considering upgrading your equipment or choosing a high-performance shotgun, these are some reasons why this system stands out from the alternatives:
-
Overall ballistic performance improvement: higher speed, better dispersion, greater penetration.
-
Flexibility in use: different gauges, different types of ammunition, variable conditions.
-
Real innovation: a change in the internal design of the barrel and choke to optimize all factors affecting the shot.
-
Long-term cost-effectiveness: better use of steel, better performance even with standard ammunition.
Shotguns incorporating this system
Benelli has already included Advanced Impact technology in several models, so you can choose according to your aesthetic preferences, budget, or use (hunting, sport shooting, collection). Some examples:
-
Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T. 12 Ga.
-
Raffaello A.I. Deluxe 12 Ga.
-
Raffaello A.I. Silver 12, 20, 28 Ga.
-
And other models that combine the technology with different finishes.
Conclusion
Benelli Advanced Impact is not just an incremental improvement: it represents a step forward in what can be expected from a modern shotgun. If you are looking for maximum speed, greater range, and powerful impact—and want to do so with non-lead materials without sacrificing effectiveness—this system deserves your attention.
