The Beretta ARX-100, a civilian variant of the ARX-160, offers a futuristic design with fully ambidextrous controls and a quick-change barrel system. While its modularity and modular trigger group are praised, the rifle features a heavy trigger pull (over 10 lbs) and potential polymer flex in the upper receiver. Magazine compatibility issues with Gen 3 PMAGs are noted, though standard STANAG and metal magazines function well. Accuracy is acceptable for its class, but heat can cause point-of-impact shifts.
