Our Assessment: The Beretta ARX 100 is a versatile semi-automatic rifle designed for civilian and law enforcement use, deriving its lineage from the ARX 160, a military rifle employed by the Italian Army. One of the defining characteristics of the ARX 100 is its modular design, which enables users to swap barrels quickly and without tools, offering adaptability to different calibers and applications. Chambered primarily in 5.56×45mm NATO (.223 Remington), this rifle is built for flexibility, with a 16-inch chrome-lined barrel that ensures durability and consistent accuracy. The rifle’s construction features a polymer lower receiver and stock, which contributes to its lightweight feel without compromising strength. Notably, the ARX 100 is fully ambidextrous, with controls such as the charging handle, magazine release, and safety selector accessible from either side. This design consideration enhances the rifle’s usability for both left- and right-handed shooters. Additionally, the stock is both adjustable for length and foldable, making the rifle more compact for transport and storage. Powered by a short-stroke gas piston system, the ARX 100 stands out for its reliability and ease of maintenance, particularly when compared to direct impingement systems like those found in the AR-15. The rifle is equipped with Picatinny rails for mounting optics and other accessories, further enhancing its versatility in various shooting scenarios. In comparison to the AR-15, the Beretta ARX 100 offers a different approach with its ambidextrous controls and gas piston system. These features make it an appealing alternative for those seeking a modern, customizable rifle that excels in both performance and practicality.
