The Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen brings legendary reliability to the 16-gauge platform with modern engineering and premium camouflage finish. This semi-automatic shotgun combines the proven Kinematic Drive System with lightweight construction for fast follow-up shots in waterfowl hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The Kinematic Drive System operates with significantly fewer moving parts than traditional gas-operated actions, reducing maintenance requirements and improving reliability in harsh conditions. The 16-gauge chambering delivers ballistics between 12 and 20 gauge options, providing excellent knockdown power with reduced felt recoil. Fiber optic front sight enhances target acquisition in low-light conditions common during dawn and dusk hunting periods.
Key Features
- Kinematic Drive System with self-regulating operation for consistent cycling

- 28-inch barrel optimized for waterfowl hunting with extended range
- 4+1 capacity with 2.75-inch chamber specification

Field performance demonstrates consistent cycling across various load types from light target loads to heavy waterfowl ammunition. The 16-gauge platform excels in upland bird hunting where quick handling matters, while maintaining sufficient power for larger waterfowl species. Weather-sealed action components resist moisture and debris infiltration during extended outdoor use.
