      In all seriousness, the 5.7mm is better. Even lower recoil than 9mm, size allows for high capacity magazines, high velocity and better performance against body armour than 9mm or 45 ACP.

      I know this joke refer to the world wars, but actually Italian army is the ninth strongest army in the world and, Beretta is one of the most productive gun brands in the world. Our army is divided in 4 major groups that you may have already heard about: 1) 9° reggimento d'assalto paracadutisti "col moschin" (or maybe you've heard Folgore)
      2) Gruppo Operativo Incursori
      3) 17° Stormo Incursori
      4) Gruppo intervento speciale
      Folgore is really well known in Europe, its name literally mean thunderbolt and as you can imagine they're a paratrooper group.

    I think it's funny, the story of some weapons in US inventory.

    Sig Sauer lost to Beretta in the 80s, but just recently, a variant of the 226 was chosen to replace the M9.

    • @ElMassimoFromItaly
      @ElMassimoFromItaly Před 4 lety +45

      If you think about it, even the M16 had a similar story. After the Korean War, the M14 was chosen instead of the ar10, the prototype of what later became the ar15(the M16 and later the M4), but the US Army quickly realized how poorly the M14 was performing in the jungles of Vietnam. So that's why they replaced their main battle rifle again, and this time the ar10 won.

    • @mutilator97
      @mutilator97 Před 3 lety +18

    The other reason Berettas are so popular in movies (besides the sexy shape and large frame) is because they are easier to convert to fire blanks: The action of the pistol uses a falling block instead of a tilting barrel, so you can modify the barrel to fire blanks with perfect semi-automatic reliability.

    Being a proud owner of a 92, I can tell you that these guns are fantastic. I got the 92S, which was an Italian police de-com, but even without the changes made to the FS, it's solid to its core. Shoots the worst steel cased ammo all day long and its accurate til it dies. If you get a used 92S you'll only have to spend about $350 at the highest (as of the time of writing this) and there is basically no better deal out there as far as price/quality.

The commercial Beretta 92s/92a1s are better than the US issued ones due to law abiding citizens using them & cleaning & maintaining them.

    I have to admit, the M9 or Beretta 92 is one of the many classic pistols known to the world, both in movies, gaming, and reality. I remember me, my brothers, my father, and my cousins tried out the M9 since one of them had it as a sidearm in the police force after dove hunting. We saw these empty beer bottles, so we decided to use them as target practice. Finally, I got to try out the pistol and...man it had a lot of recoil. I was definitely astounded how much power the M9 has in real life instead of in gaming.

    While I think the switch from .45 to 9mm wasn't a bad thing, the M9 as the particular choice for a sidearm did irk me a little. In a normal urban environment, it'd work fine, but in very dusty environments, the open top slide really could prove a problem. I love the M9, don't get me wrong, it's just that I believe a 9mm Glock or even a 9mm 1911 would've made the difference

      9mm is a tier higher is terms of penetration too. There's a reason why there's no such thing as a true .45 Armor Piercing cartridge while there's many for the 9mm. .45 is too fat and it's effective range way too short.

    “Switching to a pistol is faster than reloading”.
    I cannot stress this sentence enough and also the fact how many good guys have fallen in combat because they ignored this sentence.

      Almost nobody because combat troops for the most part don't carry pistols, because pistols are almost never used in combat when you have a rifle, and if you have a rifle, you're going to be engaging people at several hundred yards, with buddies around, and if you're doing CQB, you're going to be doing tactical reloads when you can, and you're not gonna be running into a room Call of Duty style, going full auto, and running out of ammunition.

      @@deanc91 FYI, I was referring to video games. But thanks for your insight as well. It makes sense as to why anyone would go for a sidearm when they have their rifle right with them.
