About
What it is, and why it matters
The Beretta 682 is an Italian competition over-and-under double-barrel shotgun built on Beretta's low-profile 680-series boxlock action. Introduced in 1984 and offered in sporting clays, trap and skeet configurations, it features a single selective trigger, automatic ejectors, interchangeable chokes and a heavy competition-weight barrel set. It is a mainstay of clay-target shooting and has been used at Olympic level.
The 682's narrow-frame receiver was slimmed down specifically to shave weight for Olympic trap and skeet shooters, and guns on the 680-series action are famous for enduring hundreds of thousands of competition rounds.
Marketed over its life as the S682, 682 Gold and 682 Gold E. Early wide-frame S682 receivers differ from the later narrow-frame guns, and many parts are not interchangeable between the two.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
