The Beretta Cx4 Storm is a pistol-calibre semi-automatic carbine aimed at the sporting, personal defense and law enforcement markets. It was designed to accept magazines from different Beretta pistol platforms (92/96, 8000 "Cougar" series, Px4) using adapters. The CX4 is available in 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 9×21mm models. The .45 model can only use 8000 "Cougar" magazines.
The Beretta Mx4 Storm is the military version of the Cx4 Storm. It is capable of fully automatic fire, features a 12-inch barrel, and is most commonly seen with a 30-round 9mm magazine that is compatible with Beretta 92 pistols.
