Serious male beretta. Beretta pistols - self-loading gladiators of the Colosseum

Among the variety of firearms, several dozen models can be distinguished, which have already become a kind of "classic" of weapons. Weapon models such as the Nagant revolver, Colt M1911, AKM, and so on, are a variety of weapons, but, of course, the most famous and desired consumer, even despite their many years of age. If you make a list of weapons that will correspond to the concept of "classics", then you can not do without the Italian representative, or rather, the whole family of pistols - Beretta 92. It is with this weapon that we will get acquainted in this article.


Oddly enough, Italian weapons were originally created not at all for the Italians, but for the US market, and subsequently to participate in the competition for a new pistol for the American army, which, by the way, Beretta 92F won. But we will not go into details of how patriotic it was, and what happened as a result, since there are still quite a lot of gaps in that one that many people fill with fiction and move on to a direct acquaintance with weapons. Externally, the Beretta M 92 pistol is a full-size pistol, already speaking of a rather large mass by its very appearance, but at the same time there is a shifted balance of the weapon towards the handle, which allows you to hold the pistol at arm's length for a long time. But all this was already somewhere, namely in the model 951, which I propose to consider the first of the entire family of these weapons, since it was in it that the main solutions were applied that were implemented in subsequent pistols from one model to another. It was in this pistol that a modified system for locking the bore of a weapon with a locking wedge was used, and a long cutout was made in the casing-bolt, which also served as a window for ejection of spent cartridges and, albeit not by much, facilitated the design of the weapon, so this pistol model can be called a full-fledged progenitor, although there were some differences. In general, let's go back to the pistols of the 92 family, and leave the 951 alone.

So, as noted above, the weapon has quite serious dimensions and weight, while it remains easy to handle and carry every day, which should be noted as a unique feature of the weapon, since not all pistols of such dimensions and weight can boast the same. Such a result is not just an accident, but the vast experience gained by the Italian company plus the talent and skills of the "fathers" of this pistol - the designers Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazetti and Vittorio Valle. Why there was a reservation that this pistol was originally created for the United States is clear at first glance at the weapon, the inclination of the handle, the location of the pistol controls actually repeat those of the “American” Colt M1911 pistol itself, although this is indirect evidence, but we will stick to the generally accepted version. In principle, the desire to get the maximum profit from weapons is quite understandable, and such a market as the US civilian arms market cannot bring small income. Actually, this is how the Beretta 92 appeared, which became the basis for a new family of pistols, and later on, and more, the basis for subsequent weapon models with various innovations and for various ammunition, including virtually the entire list of more or less common both in Europe and the USA, as well as beyond.

If you look at the device of the weapon, then everything in it is quite simple and understandable, although it can lead to some stupor if you do not know which way to look. So, the gun itself (the original model) consists of 65 parts, which is not the smallest number for such a weapon, and, accordingly, requires serious production costs. The return spring is located under the barrel of the weapon, and the barrel bore is locked using a separate part, which is commonly called the locking wedge, since the phrase “locking larva” here is not entirely true, but this will be written in more detail in the description of the gun. The weapon controls consist of a standard complete set, including a bolt stop lever, a magazine eject button, a fuse switch, a trigger and, of course, a trigger, and there is also a separate switch for disassembling the weapon. The pistol is fed from a detachable box magazine with a capacity of 15 rounds. The trigger mechanism for various modifications may differ, however, for all pistols, the mainspring is twisted and is placed in the handle of the weapon. Let's try to figure out now how it all works when fired.

As in everything firearms, the source of energy for the operation of automation in this case is powder gases, which are formed during the combustion of gunpowder and build up pressure in the sleeve, and then in the barrel of the weapon. It is their expansion that leads to the fact that the bullet leaves the barrel of the pistol, and its working mechanisms begin to move. Naturally, movement does not appear out of nowhere. In order to understand why, even in the simplest blowback design, the bolt moves, you need to imagine how the powder gases act during the shot. If you do not think about what is happening, it seems that the powder gases simply push the bullet out of the barrel, since it is it that is a kind of piston, during the movement of which more and more space is formed for the combustion products of gunpowder, but this is not entirely true. The fact is that in this system there is one more weakness in addition to the bullet - the sleeve. If we take an automatic system with a free shutter as an example, then the sleeve simply transfers that large, but short-term force to the casing-bolt, so that it rolls back and removes it from the chamber. Moreover, this happens precisely due to the transfer of an impulse to the casing of the shutter, and not in the form of pushing it with a sleeve, therefore, the extraction of the spent cartridge case occurs after the bullet has left the barrel, which means that the powder gases were used effectively, and the sleeve itself remained intact. It all works this way only because the bullet has a much lower weight than the casing-bolt with the sleeve, and therefore, it will have a much higher speed of movement. But this simple system with a blowback, the most striking and closest representative of which to our man is the Makarov pistol. In the case of the Beretta 92 pistol, things are somewhat more complicated, but not by much.

In the Beretta 92 pistol, an automation scheme with a short barrel stroke was used, and the barrel bore was locked using a locking wedge swinging in a vertical plane. In the normal position, this wedge is raised up, its side projections enter the vertical grooves on the inner surface of the casing-bolt, while the locking wedge itself is located between the chamber and the projection on the outer surface of the barrel, that is, it cannot move back and forth on its own. Thus, the sleeve transmits an impulse to the casing-bolt, which has to pull along not only the sleeve, but also the barrel of the weapon. True, he does not pull it for long. When fired, the barrel and bolt begin to travel together in the opposite direction from the shot, but after a while the guide rod of the return spring begins to act on the locking wedge under the barrel, causing it to lower, the side protrusions of the wedge begin to go down the cutouts on the inside of the casing-bolt and into in the end they come out of them, at the same time becoming part of the guides for the casing-shutter. The barrel of the weapon stops, and the casing-bolt continues to move back, removing the spent cartridge case from the chamber, throwing it through the window for ejection of spent cartridge cases, and also cocking the trigger. In its rearmost position, the shutter casing stops and, under the influence of a return spring, begins to move forward. At the same time, he removes a new cartridge from the magazine and inserts it into the chamber, and then, resting against the breech of the barrel of the weapon, begins to push the barrel forward, which leads to a rise in the locking wedge, which enters the vertical cutouts on the inner surface of the casing-bolt and securely locks bore until the next shot. Generally speaking, this is how it works.

Such an automation system is a direct descendant of the pistol automation system proposed by one of the greatest gunsmiths in history, Browning, but it is still modernized enough to talk about complete similarity, but the principle is the same, only the elements that implement the work are different. The positive quality of such a system is that the barrel of the weapon moves without distortion, which makes the operation of the weapon smoother and shooting from it more accurate, however, it is difficult to say that this is the only reason, after all, at the beginning of the twentieth century, weapons with a barrel distortion however, it was distinguished by a sufficiently high accuracy, at least few people complained. Despite the fact that the pistol has a large enough window for the ejection of spent cartridges, which makes its system actually open, the Beretta 92 pistol turned out to be quite resistant to contamination, and this despite the fact that it is based on a locking element that interacts with the shutter casing through sliding. Naturally, if the weapon is completely immersed in liquid mud and allowed to penetrate into all the nodes of the pistol, he will not be able to shoot, but dust, sand, moisture within reasonable limits, the weapon transfers quite calmly, though it wears out quite a lot, but it’s hard to name another gun that could boast a high service life both under normal operating conditions and under adverse conditions. In general, if there is a desire for the weapon to last long enough, then regular cleaning / lubrication is an integral part of owning this gun, as well as any other weapon.

From high heights in the form of a weapon design and a description of its work, let's move on to a more mundane topic - brief description various modifications of this pistol. Well, you need to start with the fact that despite the fact that the Beretta 92 pistol was the ancestor of the entire family, only 5000 units were produced in the first year, after which the production of this model was curtailed. So the original 92 Beretta is somewhat of a rarity. Further, modifications have already gone after it, which added any capabilities to weapons or changed existing ones.

The first modification was the Berette 92S pistol. Its main difference lies in the location of the weapon fuse switch, which was moved from the pistol frame to the shutter casing. This innovation was dictated by the Italian police, who first drew attention to the novelty, although the pistol was not originally developed for them. It would be foolish not to take advantage of this opportunity and not adapt the weapon to the requirements, we can say that it was from this model that the gun began to bring huge profits to its creators. In addition to the transfer of the fuse, the principle of its operation has also changed. If in the model 92 the fuse simply blocked the sear and the casing-bolt both when the hammer was cocked and when it was lowered, then in the model 92S the inclusion of the fuse led to a smooth release of the hammer, after which it was blocked, as well as the drummer and the trigger were blocked. An interesting point is also several possibilities for removing the weapon from the fuse. So, you can simply move the switch, or you can simultaneously pull the trigger and pull the trigger to bring the weapon into combat readiness. Separately, neither pull the trigger nor cock the hammer with the safety off. It is also necessary to mention one more feature of the 92S model, just like the original pistol, in this sample the magazine eject button is located not at the base of the safety bracket, as in subsequent models, but on the left side of the handle at the lower right corner, while this is the button , and not a latch at the bottom of the handle like the PM. This feature of these two models immediately gives them away, so that you can without a shadow of a doubt name the model of a weapon just by glancing at it. At the same time, stores for later modifications, in which the eject button is located in the place already familiar to pistols, can also be used in these models.

The following modification of the pistol is especially interesting in that it was with her that the introduction of this weapon into the US Army began. Denoted this model, like the Beretta 92SB, was created specifically for the US Army. The main difference from previous models is the transfer of the magazine eject button to its usual place, and the ability to transfer the button from the left side of the weapon to the right side has also been added. In addition, there were changes in the operation of the accidental shot protection device. So, with the fuse turned on, the trigger retained the ability to move, but was separated from the drummer using a small insert. By the way, he closed the drummer literally until the last moment of the trigger stroke. On the basis of this pistol, a compact version of the weapon was also created, which was distinguished by a shorter barrel of 103 mm and, accordingly, a shorter casing-bolt. In addition, the length of the handle of the weapon has decreased, and, of course, the capacity of the regular magazine has decreased to 13 rounds, although the use of magazines from full-fledged samples is not ruled out.

In 1983, a new army Beretta appeared. This time, the letter F was after the numbers, but these are not all the changes that were in this weapon. It was this pistol that entered service with the US Army, and for this to happen, the following adjustments were required. From the external innovations, the changed form of the weapon's safety guard is immediately striking, which has now become more convenient when firing a pistol using two hands. The angle of the pistol grip has been changed, but this is hardly noticeable, since the angle has changed only for the front of the grip. Also, to increase the service life of the barrel, its channel began to be chrome-plated. Well, on a voluntary basis, the company changed the protective coating of the external parts of the weapon to a more reliable and durable one. Unfortunately, with this gun it turned out not to be as smooth as we would like. With prolonged shooting, the casing-bolt of the weapon did not withstand, although everything was in order on the samples submitted for testing. Apparently, the mass production of weapons and not the highest quality material affected. Nevertheless, the weapon worked flawlessly, only less than the declared resource, because the contract for the supply of this pistol to the US Army was suspended.

In order to get rid of such a shameful disease of their weapons and continue deliveries to the army of the United States of America, the Beretta company modified its pistol, now it was already called the Beretta 92FS, it is he who is now in service with the US Army under the name M9. In fact, it was still the same gun, but it significantly increased the strength of the casing-bolt, which made it even more tenacious than it was stated. In addition, in order to save the Americans, who are very fond of more powerful cartridges, from injuries, a kind of disk was installed on the head of the trigger axis, which prevents the casing-bolt from breaking off in the event of its destruction and flying into the face of the shooter. Actually, this sample of the Beretta 92 pistol is the most common in the world.

But this variety of weapons does not end in 1990, another modification of the pistol appeared. In fact, it was the same 92FS back, but now it had a double-action trigger, that is, each shot was fired by self-cocking, which significantly increased the pull on the trigger, and, as a result, had a negative effect on shooting accuracy, although this is the case habits. Also, the possibility of a safe trigger release was removed from the safety mechanism as unnecessary. This model is designated as Beretta 92DS, but it did not receive great popularity, such as the previous version.

In the same year, another modification appeared, in which there is no fuse at all. This model also has a trigger mechanism that allows self-cocking only, while the manufacturer has increased the trigger pull even more to make the pistol safer. When falling, the weapon is protected from an accidental shot by a striker lock, which is removed only at the last millimeters of the trigger stroke. This pistol model is referred to as the Beretta 92D, and it is natural that it was neither widely used nor known due to its specific design.

I wanted to skip the next model of the pistol, since it is an offshoot of the main family, but, remembering how often Beretta 92 is endowed with the ability of automatic shooting by the townsfolk, and the “blue screen” is in no hurry to dispute this, I decided to devote one paragraph to the pistol Beretta 93R. The weapon is old, despite its popularity among the masses, and it does have the ability to shoot short bursts with a cut-off of 3 rounds, but not a long burst. Without going into details of the difference between the device of the pistol in comparison with the previous versions (whoever read this far - my respect), it is only necessary to note that the weapon has a reinforced bolt cover, as well as a heavier barrel protruding ahead of the bolt cover. There are holes from the muzzle that act as a kind of muzzle brake-recoil compensator to prevent the pistol from being tossed up when firing. It has a rate of fire of 1,100 rounds per minute and is fed from 20-round detachable magazines, although standard 15-round magazines can also be used. A handle is installed a little further along the frame of the weapon from the safety bracket for more convenient control of the weapon when firing, and the pistol is also equipped with a removable shoulder rest. It was discontinued more than 20 years ago, since there is a separate class of weapons - submachine guns, in which this pistol does not win in any way. Well, it would not be superfluous to say that the resource of this pistol, in comparison with even the most average submachine guns, is not very high.

It would be nice to stop after that, but since I have already started, I will continue. In addition to all the above models, there is also a "Frenchman" named PAMAS G1. It appeared due to the lack of modern pistols in France at the end of the 80s of the last century, but for some reason there were no manufacturers who would undertake to eliminate such a problem in the country. She responded to a call for help and solved this problem by creating a model of the Beretta 92G pistol, which differed from the 92FS in that the safety switch had three positions - two "classic" and one providing a safe release of the trigger, instead of two positions, one of which has a safety release function was automatic. This pistol was adopted by the French gendarmerie in 1989, and in 1990 and 1991 entered service with the Navy and the army.

Do not forget about the variants of weapons that are produced under license by other manufacturers. So, the most famous are the pistols of the Brazilian company Taurus. Very a good buy licenses for the production and modernization of weapons, in fact, instantly made the Brazilian company famous in the market for handguns. By the way, thanks to timely modernization and a wide range of ammunition used in Brazilian pistols, the Beretta 92 variants from this company are still popular, especially in the civilian arms market in the United States, and are also in service with the armies of several countries, including Brazil. But I wrote about these pistols in detail earlier in the articles:; ; .

Based on all of the above, we can say with confidence that the Italian Beretta 92 weapon, if not a cult one, then quite worthy to put it on a par with at least the same Colt M1911. And although the gun has flaws, without them, unfortunately, nowhere, but its positive qualities completely cover all the negative ones. So the weapon has a fairly high accuracy, it is considered the norm when at a distance of 50 meters all the bullets fall into a circle with a diameter of 70 millimeters, naturally under ideal conditions. In addition, it is quite comfortable to hold, despite its impressive weight. The simplicity of the design made the gun resistant to reasonable pollution, without fanaticism. Well, the fact that the weapon does not accidentally fire is guaranteed by a safety device that literally blocks everything that can move (depending on the modification). Well, to be fair, the flaws. Big weight and dimensions for hidden and daily wear, which in my opinion is a matter of habit. The thick handle of the weapon, which is inconvenient for a person with short fingers, and, perhaps, that's all. This is the Beretta 92.

Beretta - a pistol in service with army units and law enforcement agencies a large number Western countries, including the USA. The American armed forces are often criticized for their ability to make choices in favor of, to put it mildly, far from best weapon, so the Beretta 92 is not without flaws. But still, this "gun" also has many advantages. From the point of view of many users, they outweigh, and the brainchild of Italian designers for decades has sold very well both to departments and to civilians in countries where carrying combat pistols is allowed.

Let's talk about the beretta 92 in as much detail as possible - the history of its birth, design features, principle of operation, performance characteristics (performance characteristics), pluses and minuses of the famous weapon. We will also reveal and compare the differences between noticeable modifications of the 92nd Beretta, and inform you what cartridges are used by its owners.

The history of the Beretta 92 pistol

The Italian company Beretta is rightfully proud of its centuries-old history, but the company produced the first pistol only in 1915 for the needs of military personnel who participated in the First World War, and before that it was limited to the manufacture of hunting and sporting guns.

The first family 92 pistol was designed by Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazetti and Vittorio Valle in 1972 and presented to the public four years later.

From previous models, he got:

• 9 mm caliber;
• branded features in the design - an unusually large window in the shutter and a refined narrowing in its front part;
• open trigger with a round hole in the spoke.

The main improvements in relation to the M1951 were a modified trigger mechanism (USM) and an updated barrel locking system. With further refinement of the family, taking into account the identified problems, the quality of the material used to manufacture the beretta pistol was significantly improved.

In 1985, with a modification of the Beretta 92F, the company won the competition for the purchase of pistols for the US Army units. Over the next decade, the States purchased more than a million weapons, designated M9, at $178.5 per piece.

The next modification - Beretta 92FS entered the category of the most popular and famous pistols in the world, being bought up by both army, police, special forces structures of a large number of countries, and by a mass of civilians in a total number of over 100 thousand units per year.

In 2009, the Italian pistol was included in the list of weapons officially allowed to be used for self-defense by prosecutors and investigators of the Russian prosecutor's office.

Gun design

In the Beretta 92 pistol, assembled from 65 parts, an automation scheme with a short barrel stroke, a double-action trigger and a lever locking device is implemented. Unlike the M1951, the barrel is locked by a swinging larva placed on its outer surface from below.

The mainspring is twisted, placed in the handle. A spring-loaded firing pin that is kept retracted from the primer and closed by a bridge from the time the hammer is struck until the final phase of the trigger movement. Before the descent, the jumper, rising, opens the drummer. When the shutter is unlocked, the gear lever lowers it along with the trigger rod.

The fuse box is located on the shutter on the left and right.

The store is double-row, its latch button is located on the left, but can be moved to the other side. The ejector, located longitudinally on the right side of the bolt, serves as an auxiliary indicator of the presence / absence of a cartridge in the chamber.

Principle of operation

Before the shot, the rear end of the return spring slightly raises the larva, its side protrusions engage with the longitudinal side slots located inside the shutter housing.

When fired, the bolt and barrel synchronously move back. The spring-loaded rod, bumping into the frame, lowers the larva, the barrel disengages from the bolt: the first one freezes, and the last one, moving, pushes the spent cartridge case to the right and cocks the trigger.

huddled in this moment the return spring pushes the shutter forward, as a result of which:

• a new cartridge is sent into the chamber;
• the rod leaves the locking larva;
• she again engages with the slots of the shutter, thereby preparing the pistol for a new shot.

The use of a larva ensures the movement of the barrel without distortion, making the operation of the pistol smoother and increasing the accuracy of fire.

The weapon is put on the fuse by moving the flag downwards, at which the trigger is safely released with the sear and trigger pull disconnected. If at this moment there is ammunition in the chamber, for a self-cocking shot it is enough to move the flag up and pull the trigger. But in order to aim more accurately, you need to cock it.

Reloading by jerking the shutter is possible at any position of the fuse.

When the magazine is empty, the shutter becomes delayed. It is enough to insert a full magazine and remove the delay, slightly pulling the shutter, he sends the first charge into the chamber - the pistol is immediately ready to fire.

The performance characteristics of the model Beretta 92

• Caliber - 9 mm;
• Total length - 217 mm;
• Barrel length - 125 mm;
• Weight - 980 grams;
• Magazine capacity - 15 rounds;
• Effective range - 25 meters.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of the gun:

• a large weight gives a quick return to the line of sight;
• it is easy for the shooter to aim due to the large gap between the front sight and the sight;
• double-sided fuse box makes shooting comfortable for both right-handers and left-handers;
• smooth body elements, thanks to which the Beretta can be pulled out instantly without catching on clothes.

Flaws:

• large dimensions make it difficult to carry concealed;
• shooting with especially powerful ammunition reduces the durability of the weapon;
• a large handle is uncomfortable for a shooter with a small hand;
• unnecessary risk of a slight burn by touching a hot barrel;
• excessive contamination of internal surfaces.

Ammunition for Beretta

The beretta is chambered in 9×19 mm Parabellum, created back in 1902 by the famous weapons designer Georg Luger for his own pistol, which acquired the same name. In fact, it appeared as a result of shortening the cartridge case of the 7.65 × 21 mm Parabellum cartridge and giving it a cylindrical shape instead of a bottle.

The length of the cartridge is 29.69 mm. Bullet weight - up to 10.25 grams, and its energy - 450-650 J.

Beretta modifications

The Beretta 92S was designed in 1977 to meet the needs of the Italian police. The fuse previously located on the frame was located on the gate, which made it possible to safely descend. Currently, the 92S is not in production, but magazines that are compatible with this model are still equipped with Berettas.

The Beretta 92SB (manufactured 1981-1991) was for the first time equipped with a double-sided safety flag and a striker blocking system.

The Beretta 92F has been produced since 1984, and a year later, as mentioned above, with this modification, the company won the competition of the US military department, after which it began to produce new berets like the M9. An option has been added to equip the pistol with a silencer if it is necessary to fire silently.

Beretta 92G, which appeared in 1987 and subsequently acquired the PAMAS G1 marking, is produced (under license) by a French arms company according to state orders from the defense department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the gendarmerie and police.

Beretta 92FS - improved in 1989 92F, also produced at the company's production site in the United States. The main improvements concerned the improvement of the quality of the material for the manufacture of pistols, due to which the designers excluded the destruction of the shutter that had taken place.

Beretta 96 - dated 1996, a conversion of 92F under the .40 SW cartridge in demand in the States, with a decrease in magazine capacity to 11 ammunition. It is purchased by the US Department of Homeland Security for the border and customs service, immigration police, is a success with private buyers.

Beretta 96 Brigadier - conversion implemented in 1996 under the same .40 SW, but model 92FS. Bolt reinforcement has been introduced and a removable front sight has been installed.

Beretta 92FS Centurion - the changes are to shorten the barrel and bolt.

Beretta 92 Vertec - developed in 2003 under the requests of the American police. The handle has been modified for the comfort of a physically powerful shooter with large hands. A mount for a flashlight or LCC (laser designator) has been added to the design.

The Beretta 90 Two, in production since 2006, also features a laser/flashlight mount, with obvious changes appearance pistol, which has become super avant-garde.

The Beretta M92 pistol was developed by order of the US Army. Until 1985, the Colt M 1911 45 caliber was in service with the American army. After the introduction of the NATO standard for the 9 mm pistol cartridge, a new weapon was required. We chose the Beretta 92 pistol. This sample was developed in 1976 under the 9x19 cartridge, which evolved:

• Beretta 1915 chambered for 9x19 with a clip for 7 charges.
• Beretta 1917 chambered for 7.65x17 with 8 rounds.
• Beretta 1922 chambered for 7.65x17 with 8 rounds.
• Beretta 1934 chambered in 9x17 or 7.65x17 with a clip for 7 or 8 charges.
• Beretta 1951 chambered for 9x19 cartridge with 8 rounds.

Beretta M92 met the requirements for army pistols in the eighties of the last century. At that time, it was believed that an army pistol should, in terms of its capabilities, approach a submachine gun. Have a magazine for 12-20 rounds, a long barrel and the ability to automatically fire.

Beretta M 92 has a magazine for 15 rounds and the ability to fire bursts. Muzzle energy is 600-650 J, depending on the type of cartridge. Thus, the muzzle energy of a pistol can exceed a thousand joules, which corresponds to the AKSU indicators and is three times higher than that of a Stechkin pistol. This pistol uses a 9x18 cartridge, unlike the Beretta 92, which fires a 9x19 Parabellum cartridge, which has many times higher ballistic performance.

The guaranteed shot of the barrel is 5 thousand shots. In batches of weapons produced before 1987, when firing with reinforced 9x19 NATO cartridges, breakdowns occurred after 4 thousand shots. The company solved this issue and released the 92FS model with a reinforced barrel. In the future, the magazine capacity was increased to 20 rounds.

Traumatic Beretta 92 (Blow F 92)

This trauma got to Russia mainly through Kazakhstan. In this country, circulation was allowed traumatic weapon until 2014. Residents of Baikonur could buy berets in Kazakh shops and register them in Russia. Traumatics was positioned service and civil. Its barrel is suitable for firing both rubber bullets and shot.

The Blow F 92 pistol has a 15-round magazine. Noise, gas and traumatic ammunition can be used.

Specifications BLOW F92 (Beretta):

• Caliber, cartridges: 9mm R.A.
• Dimensions: 216x41x142 mm.
• Weight: 1,100 kg.
• Magazine capacity: 15 pcs.
• Producer: Turkey.

There are reviews that this pistol has a weak disassembly flag lock. He inherited this quality from Walter, who is his progenitor. The problem is exacerbated by a weakened return spring, which presses the flag on the combat prototype.

There is an interesting review about such a lack of a pistol. The guard pulled his service Beretta out of its holster, pointed it at the villain and jerked the bolt. The movement he got on himself and up. Then he released the shutter for inertial chambering. It is forbidden to hold the shutter with your hand so as not to get injured if the cartridge is pricked prematurely. With his movement, the guard unhooked the bolt from the frame.

As a result, the traumatic pistol in his hands dismantled itself and parts of the weapon flew in different directions. The villain grabbed one of the parts and quickly ran away. The security guard came to the store to buy the missing part and told this story. Advanced users do their own fine-tuning of weapons to get rid of this shortcoming.

It has always been difficult to buy a BLOW F92 pistol in Russia. Now this is probably no longer possible. The price does not matter, they are just very few imported into the country.

Gas and pneumatic versions

Sold in Russia gas version pistol, which was made of silumin. An 8mm gas or noise cartridge was used. The store held 18 rounds. A gas splitter was installed in the barrel, and a false silencer or a device for launching a rocket was provided.

The pneumatic version of the Beretta pistol fires lead bullets. Eight bullets are loaded into a hidden drum. The speed of the bullet at the exit from the barrel reaches 120 meters per second. The mass of a heavy bullet is 0.65 grams. The actual muzzle energy is approximately 4.5 joules. The barrel is rifled and has 4 grooves. The rifled barrel gives high accuracy and accuracy.

pugach

A chilled version of the Beretta is a scarecrow. These pistols are unable to fire live, traumatic or gas cartridges. Only noise ammunition can be used. But there are no restrictions on the amount of ammunition in the clip, and the automatic firing mode is also preserved.

The volume of the shot is very high. Its level is compared with a shot from a rifle. One of the owners of the gun describes the situation of using this weapon. At night, a Zhiguli without a silencer with a company of three young people inside stopped near his house. The car roared loudly, the villains were noisily talking and laughing.

After 15 minutes, the positive hero left the house with a gun in his pocket and told the company to get out. In response, the villains offered the hero to go to a known place with increased speed. After that, he took out a pistol and fired, pointing the muzzle up. The villains shamefully jumped into the car and disappeared.

Traumatic gun Beretta

For the US police, Beretta has developed a traumatic weapon system. It includes a 12-gauge smoothbore pump-action shotgun and special cartridges with rubber bullets. A feature of this complex is the fact that a bullet fired from it has a meeting speed of 120 m / s, regardless of the distance of the shot.

The gun is equipped with a special sight, which has a rangefinder. The rangefinder setting is provided by the shooter while pointing the weapon at the target. The electronic weapon control system regulates the characteristics of the gun barrel. It opens small windows that bleed excess powder gases. Due to this, when meeting with the target, the bullet always has the same speed.

A 12 gauge rubber bullet weighs 4 grams. At a speed of 120 m / s, its energy when it hits the target will be about 30 J. A rubber bullet speed of more than 150 m / s is considered life-threatening when its energy is 45 J. The specific force is about 0.2 J per square millimeter.

Work on the creation of traumatic weapons that act with the same force at different distances began in the United States in 2004. The problem was that a weapon set to hit a target at 15 meters would not achieve any effect when fired at 50 meters. At the same time, if the gun was supposed to stop the attacker at a distance of 50 meters, when fired from 10 meters, it simply killed him.

They tried to use cartridges with different weights of gunpowder for different distances, but it turned out badly. The cops in a fever loaded the wrong cartridges or the whole magazine had to be rearranged. With a pump-action weapon, this method was generally not suitable, or it was necessary to load it with one cartridge at a time.

They tried to develop a complex design solution for the cartridge. The cartridge case contained several containers of ballistic material, and the gun's processor instructed the cartridge how many containers to use for a shot. Ammo is insanely expensive and there are no guarantees against technical errors that lead to the death or serious injury of intruders, as well as from the fact that the shots do not lead to the desired result.

Beretta is the oldest gun manufacturer in the world. The company has been in existence for almost 500 years and has been run by the same family all this time. People have not changed much over the past 5 centuries, so they still need the means to effectively attack and defend. They are manufactured by Beretta.

Arquebuses for the Venetian arsenal

The Beretta company appeared in 1526, that is, at the time of the transition from the Middle Ages to the New Age. It was then that the Italian gunsmith Bartolomeo Beretta from Gardone Val Trompia (province of Brescia, Lombardy) received an order from the Venetian arsenal. He pledged for 296 ducats to make 185 barrels for arquebuses - matchlock muzzle-loading guns. This weapon in the early 16th century was very effective. It made it possible to hit a target measuring 60x60 cm from 100 meters, and from 30 meters to pierce knightly armor 2 mm thick. The account for this transaction is still kept in the archives of the arms company. It should be noted that at the beginning of the 16th century, Brescia was already considered the leading weapons center in Italy. Bartolomeo Beretta had to work in a highly competitive environment, and the choice of him as the executor of the order for the Venetian government spoke of the high skill of the gunsmith.

Family business

In the Beretta family, it is customary to transfer weapons production technology from father to son. Bartolomeo's experience was adopted by his son Giacomo, who, in turn, made his sons Giovannino and Lodovico good gunsmiths. The first stood at the head of the family business, and the second was engaged in the manufacture of gun locks. Beretta began by making individual parts, but quickly moved on to the production of complete weapons. Giovannino Beretta had a son, Giovanni Antonio, who in the middle of the 17th century became famous as a famous gunsmith designer. In 1641, he invented and manufactured six-pound cannons, which were equipped with Venetian ships. In the second half of the 17th century, Beretta was already one of the leading Italian arms manufacturers. For a long time, the company produced only military weapon. However, at the beginning of the 18th century, under the guidance of Giuseppe Beretta, she began to make barrels for hunting rifles. The new head of the enterprise made right choice- In 1719, Beretta became the largest exporter of gun barrels. The manufacturer had advanced technical equipment for its time - a steel furnace and a forging shop with forging machines.

From Napoleon to the Olympic Games

In 1797, Napoleon Bonaparte conquered the Venetian Republic, causing the last Doge to sign his abdication. The Doge Institute by this time had existed for 1100 years. Venice was occupied by the French without resistance. Beretta's business was not only not affected by the events, but went even more successfully. France loaded the enterprise with its military orders, and it brought a lot of profit. In 1815, the power of Napoleon fell, and fewer military weapons were required. Beretta engaged in forced diversification - it began to switch to hunting and sporting guns. At that time, the company was owned by Pietro Antonio Beretta (died 1853). He constantly traveled around Italy in order to study the market hunting weapon, look for new buyers and business partners. He managed to find regular customers and provided the company with independence from third-party parts suppliers - all the necessary parts were made inside Beretta. The next head of the company was the son of Pietro Antonio named Giuseppe Beretta. Under his leadership, the manufacturer developed new models of hunting rifles and entered the international market for hunting weapons. Beretta, in addition to its products, sold weapons and other brands, including, . So the company became the leader of the arms markets of the Old World. In 1903, Pietro Beretta turned out to be the head of the enterprise, who purchased the most modern equipment for the plant and improved production processes. As a result, the company began to produce significantly more products. Its engineers developed and patented new weapon designs. The state testing station began to work at the enterprise. It was in honor of this leader that the company was named "Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta". The company has retained this name to this day.

Nowadays

Pietro Beretta had two sons, Giuseppe and Carlo. Under their leadership, Beretta in the second half of the 20th century became a large transnational corporation, successful not only in business, but also in sports. Many athletes have become Olympic champions with guns of this brand. Both Giuseppe and Carlo Beretta did not have children, so the centuries-old tradition of passing production to the next generation through the male line was threatened. However, a way out was found - Carlo adopted his nephew Hugo Gussali, the son of his sister Giuseppina. The owner and manager of the company today is precisely Hugo Gussali Beretta, who has already connected his sons Franco and Pietro to the business. According to the plans of the family, the next head of the company will be the grandson of Hugo named Carlo Alberto Giusalli Beretta.

Using Beretta air pistols is no different from models from other brands. And just like other weapons, Beretta pistols require proper care.
