Gun Nuts Video: Testing the Benelli Ethos

Does the Ethos recoil reducing system actually work? Phil Bourjaily puts it to the test in this Gun Nuts video.

Yes, i would expect any modern auto would shoot softer than a fixed breach gun. Still not as soft as a Maxus though!

For heavy loads only gas operated.

Why?

[@ortiko]

@@HankTheTank23 because the recoil makes it almost inpossible to shoot second round. Have you used any beretta a300 or a400 ? It is huge difference with inirtia. Keep in mind that i own a benelli comfort...

Depends on how big of person you are. If you're 140 lbs and skinny it's going to push you around more. I own an ethos, and I shoot prairie storm and don't notice the recoil. I'm 200 lbs and muscular

@@kenandrieling5885 agreed i use my ethos for upland and waterfowl and have never had an issue regardless of shell.

Gas operated is the way to Go IMO !!!
