Emerging Trends Shaping the Future of Shotguns
Leading companies are increasingly focusing on ballistic efficiency optimization to improve shooting accuracy, reduce recoil, and elevate overall firearm performance. This area involves refining barrel designs, ammunition engineering, and recoil management technologies to maximize projectile speed, stability, and energy transfer.
For example, Benelli introduced an innovative AI-enabled barrel system in January 2025, which dynamically adjusts firing parameters to optimize shot-to-shot precision and recoil control. This system features a patented internal contour and cryogenic choke treatment to boost shot velocity, energy, and pellet density. The result is deeper penetration and tighter shot patterns, enhancing effectiveness and range for hunters and sport shooters alike.
