BERETTA 93R
Beretta Model 93R is a selective-fire machine pistol. The "R" stands for "Raffica" which means burst in Italian. It was designed in the 70s and meant for police and military use, offering extra firepower in a small package. It is perfect for concealed carry purposes such as VIP protection, or for close quarters fighting such as room to room searches.
A selector switch and the foldable foregrip allows the pistol to fire three round bursts with each pull of the trigger for a potential cyclic rate of 1100 rpm. The designers limited it to three round bursts to allow it to be more easily controlled. This 93R is basically a Beretta 92 pistol (which is what the US military Beretta M9 sidearm is based on). But the 93R is single action and outfitted with a muzzle brake, an optional detachable shoulder stock and a proprietary 20-round magazine that also allowed for a firmer grip. It is currently out of production.
