Benelli Introduces the Most Advanced Shotgun Barrel Technology Ever


Accokeek, MD – With shotgun technology and advancement spanning centuries and leading to today’s ultra-sophisticated designs, it is easy to believe that shotgun performance has already reached its zenith. Benelli says, “Not so fast!”
For 2025, Benelli introduces a revolutionary new technology to the shotgun world — one that raises the bar by improving the terminal performance of the smooth-bore platform. Called the Benelli Advanced Impact (A.I.) technology, this new approach to shotgun ballistics delivers the shot payload harder, faster, and with greater downrange pellet density than traditional shotgun barrels.
The key to Benelli A.I. technology is a new ballistic contour integrated into the barrel bore. This contour design combines with Benelli’s new Advanced Impact Crio® chokes to provide enhanced shot column velocity and, subsequently, more energy at the point of impact when compared to conventional shotgun barrel designs.
