The Beretta Rx4 is a rifle developed and manufactured by Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta of Italy. The action is a Gas-operated, rotating bolt. The rifle uses STANAG compatible magazines (eg. M16 magazines) and has an adjustable stock. The rifle is in the same family as the Beretta Px4 Storm pistol and the Cx4 Storm Carbine. This weapon operates only in semi-automatic mode, and no selective-fire or otherwise full-automatic version of the Rx4 carbine planned. Beretta is already developing a completely different new-generation assault rifle called the ARX-160. The Rx4 Storm is thus not currently in any military use, as it has not been intended to be, albeit one of its variants (the 12,5-inch barrel "Tactical" version with pistol grip and 5-positions telescopic stock) has been intended primarily as a "patrol carbine" for Police organizations and private security operators. A semi-automatic rifle is a type of rifle that, when the trigger is pulled, fires a bullet and loads another cartridge from a magazine, without the need to operate a bolt or other loading mechanism. ...

The market availability of the different models of the Rx4 Storm carbine differ from Country to Country. The 12.5 inch variant with removable muzzle brake, which has been primarly intended as a Police patrol carbine, is normally on sale in Italy like all the other variants, while in the United States availability of the weapon is limited only to the 16-inch barrel "Varmint" variant with fixed stock (either standard or with pistol grip), while the 12.5 inch model is sold by Beretta-USA only as a "Law Enforcement weapon", and all NFA rules apply to it, as its short barrel lenght restricts its civilian availability as a "Short Barreled Rifle" (any rifle with a barrel lenght less than 16 inches as described in the NFA Title 2), a category of firearms which is forbidden to own in certain States and that requires a BATFE Class III authorization and the payment of a 200 US$ transfer tax.
