Automatic
pistol
for single shot fire
or in controlled
bursts of three rounds.
The
Beretta pistol Model 93R is derived from the Model
92.
It is not just a semi automatic pistol, nor a sub
machinegun... it is a new species of weapon in a
class by it self !
Designed expressly for special purpose deployment,
it offers enormous fire power coupled with the faculty
of firing single shots in semi automatic repetition
as well as three shot bursts, at the shooter's choice.
Moreover, it can be carried on the person like any
hand gun, even holstered or concealed.
The
Beretta pistol Model 93R has also the following
characteristics:
• staggered magazine (holds 20 rounds) which
almost doubles the capacity of fire
• chamber loaded indicator (it’ is possible
to check visually and, at night, to touch, whether
there is a round in the chamber without having to
retract the
slide)
• disassembling device extremely quick and
simple.

The
Beretta pistol Modei 93R is designed for singie shot
fire or, at wili, in controlied bursts of three rounds.
Selection of the desired mode is made by a thumb lever,
and the three round burst limit is automatically governed
by a mechanism located under the right grip. The
fire selector (B see photo) is located on the top
left side of the weapon; by positioning the selector
on the white dot (C), the pistoi is made to fire in
single shot. Reloading of the next round is automatic.
When the selector is flicked to the three white dots
(D), the pistol is ready to operate in controiled
bursts of three rounds. Upon the trigger being pulled,
the Modei 93R wili fire one burst of three rounds.
To fire the next burst it is sufficient to release
the trigger and to puli it again; individuai threeround
bursts may thus be fired until the magazine is empty:
six, pius one burst of two shots. |
|
| For
burst-firing, the pistol should be held securely, and
the trigger must be pulled firmly and long, otherwise
incomplete bursts of one or two shots may result. Successive
bursts will in any case be of 3 rounds, until magazine
is empty. A well trained shooter will be able to fire
several bursts in quick succession. |
 |
The
pistol is equipped with a folding fore grip (H) for
better control during burst fire. When the pistol is
combat ready, the grip should be lowered and held with
the left hand, with the thumb inserted in the front
part of the trigger guard. When not in use, the fore
grip can be folded along the frame to make re holstering
easier. |
|
For
accurate shooting at medium range, the pistol can
be fitted with a special metal folding stock that
can be attached to grip. Two pins in the front part
of the metal stock mate with two holes (M and N) located
on the frame. After inserting the pins in these holes,
the latch (E) must be pushed into its seat in the
rear part of the grip. The folding stock will then
be firmly fixed to the weapon. To remove the folding
stock, push back the slide (K). The latch will go
back and the pins can be removed. The slide (L) disengages
the central hinge of the stock, which allows folding.

The
manual safety (A) is co axial with the selector but
works completely independent from it. When the safety
lever is turned up, a red dot shows clearly; the pistol
is ready to fire. When the lever is lowered it covers
the red dot, and the safety is engaged.
Advanced
repair stripping should be carried out by a trained
armourer.
