Talk:Beretta 8000

Clean up
This was clearly a cut and paste job from some other site (looks suspiciously like ).

I'm going to clean it up and also redirect Beretta 8000 Cougar F Inox and Beretta 8000 Cougar D Inox pages here, which clearly are just different specs for th same firearms (variants). All the Beretta pages are a total mess, with hundreds of separate pages instead of one for each firearm!!!! Deon Steyn 10:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Locking system description way off?
Unless the info I have that the Cougar and PX4 share the same locking system and implementaton is false, the description provided here of the locking system is way off. In fact, almost everything about it is wrong. The cam track is in the barrel extension, the tooth is in the transfer block, the recoil spring being in the transfer block's base has no effect whatsoever on the recoil imparted by the locking system, etc. I will have to run this down when I have more time. The pic is awful as well.--Solidpoint 09:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Solidpoint.....you're correct about the internal workings on the barrel. I've updated the 8045 info to add the Cat Pak and LAPD models. Also the Stoegar info as well. www.berettaforum.net is a great source of info for these models as well. Lots of great pics in the handguns section there.

Thank you. Just checking in here again, and removed the assertion that bedding the recoil spring in the transfer block somehow reduces peak recoil forces on the transfer block or the frame. This is clearly rediculous. The transfer block is not buffered by the recoil spring whatsoever, and the gun would fail to function, and the transfer block or frame would have to be broken if it moved during recoil. In particular, the tooth in the transfer block must absolutely NOT move under recoil forces in order for it to perform it's primary function - to engage the cam cut in the barrel extension and unlock the barrel from the slide. --24.10.27.118 (talk) 10:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

8040 capacity is 11 rounds
Perhaps its a later design revision from original release, but the 8040's caliber 40 S&W magazines in fact hold 11 rounds where legal to own have +10 magazines for semi-autos in the US.

www.shopberetta.com lists these as "high capacity" but I think this distinction is with regard to some states' persistent legal restrictions on magazines with more than 10 round capacities. Additional info from the Beretta International website on tech specs for the model/series (scroll down to 8040 listing in tables): www.beretta.com.

.41 AE Chambering.
The .41 AE article mentions that the 8000 was chambered in .41 AE at one point. If that is the case, we might want to add it to the article. 66.191.19.217 (talk) 05:40, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
