[@FarhanNahin]

Future Jarhead 3:25 no he said 1980, the guy just made a typo lol

[@MyBlackandRedCZ]

I think what he meant was that the pistol started showing its age according to the chain of command in the US Army. They thought the pistol was no longer useful. But after the 1911 was replaced, it became more popular than ever in the civilian market which kept its stride going.

[@dylanmcnab2980]

the m1911 wasn't top of the line anymore, but it was by no means obsolete quite yet, just not as good baretta

[@granpappytom5540]

Old doesnt mean obsolete

[@twotailedavenger]

I think it's funny, the story of some weapons in US inventory. The FN Mag machine gun got beaten by the M60, but then came back to replace it. Sig Sauer lost to Beretta in the 80s, but just recently, a variant of the 226 was chosen to replace the M9. Well, I guess if at first you don't succeed...

[@lewhanwen4302]

And now Sig has both pistol contracts.

[@CountArtha]

The P320 has little relationship to the P226. It's based on the P250 and it has a striker instead of a hammer, like a Glock.

[@el-massy]

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]

The p320 isn't a variant of the 226. It's a completely different gun. Striker fired, polymer frame, made to be as modular as possible, NOT DROP SAFE. Wait, what?

[@Predator20357]

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.

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.

Well here in the US, the reason why the M9 was hated was due to the military using mags that didn’t have a finish for sand resistance, not cleaning the gun, & also not maintaining the gun. The commercial Beretta 92s/92a1s are better than the US issued ones due to law abiding citizens using them & cleaning & maintaining them.

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.

[@camryt]

Why are CoD's M9's always so little and thin?

[@j4ff4c3ks1]

It is a narrow pistol in reality as well. The wider pistols tend to be chambered for the .45 as it requires a larger barrel

[@LIGHTNING278TH]

***** Compared to other 9mm pistols its pretty thick.

[@smittywjmj]

CoD has issues with weapon scaling. First-person pistol models are usually much too small (that, or the player character has hands the size of frying pans) and third-person rifle models somewhat on the small side as well, particularly for medium-size assault rifles.

[@capnscrambles]

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

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.

[@ChrisHenGaming]

Thats with every weapon, you cant make out how a weapon is out of games.

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

[@LegionEmu396]

Well its only a 9mm it shouldn't have too much kick but every gun is different and also I've never shot a m9 maybe its different than most other 9mm

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

Well, I think the reason why I thought the M9 had so much recoil is the fact I was fourteen-years old at the time I tried out the pistol. So, basically, I wasn't as sturdy as an usual-sized adult.

[@LegionEmu396]

Yeah that makes since

[@Elc22]

[@ReapingRose115]

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

[@gassedjohansen2478]

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.

[@SoloWing88]

Surprised not to see Metal Gear on here, as the M9 is one of the better options for Snake and Raiden in the MGS games.

[@twotailedavenger]

Kojima's always been a bigger fan of the .45, hence why the M9 was relegated to nonlethal duty in MGS2.

"Wonder Nine", term coined by firearms author Robert T. Shimek, for those that don't know, and including the aforementioned guns, as well as the MAB PA-15, Heckler & Koch VP70, Smith & Wesson Model 59, and Steyr GB. Loss in stopping power? Yeah...basic physics is not something that the .45ACP proponents care much about. And, the guns carried by Tequila, among others, in Hard Boiled, are almost to a scene Taurus PT92s, though the boat scene does feature a Beretta.

[@mistaksweremade]

+MoonEyes2k PT-92's are literally Beretta 92's, made on Beretta machines, with Taurus markings and cheaper materials. Bit unfortunate really. It isn't really worth noting, or worth skipping given the influence of John Woo's films.

[@mooneyes2k478]

MistakswereMade Well, the Taurus guns are based on the 92, but has been modified. In the beginning, though, they were extremely similar, yes.

[@mistaksweremade]

***** The PT92's in Hard Boiled are literal M92's made on Beretta machines. The machines were just Taurus branded when Beretta ended their contract with the Brazilian government.

[@jeffneinenstein5923]

In 2017, the US chose the SIG-Sauer P320, designated as the M17 (full size) and M18 (compact version), to replace the M9. It has a higher capacity (17 or 21 instead of 15 or 17), better accuracy, and better ergonomics. The Army plans to have all of its units equipped with the P320 within a decade. Here’s a Wikipedia link for the P320: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_Sauer_P320, and here’s one for the M17/M18: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_Sauer_M17.

[@jessen600]

Don't forget this was the starting pistol in Resident Evil 1. I actually bought an M9 a few months back and I have fun with it at the gun range.

[@trashymacgarbage]

The Beretta M1938 ( 1:10 ) is also know as the Orso which is Italian for bear. Thought I'd just point that out.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Good lord. 500 years of existence.

[@benjamindanielsen5204]

I personally don't like the open slide design on the 92, as US military experience has shown, it easily allows dust and other debris to jam the action, and I'm also not a fan of the slide mounted safety, it makes it very easy to accidentally actuate it while chambering a round. I still think we should have adopted the P226, it's overall a much better better pistol with a very proven track record with the Navy seals, and another advantage is that it's also available in multiple other calibers such as .40 S&W and .357 Sig.

[@Kat-Kobold]

the full package of the M9 was cheaper overall, though, so they went for it 'cause muh capitalism

[@JoMiMi_h]

@Master Rhan107 too late the p320 is replacing the m9

[@mutilator97]

The open slide design actually doesn't provide for a whole lot of issues, actually. Watch MAC's torture test. The gun did pretty damn well. As for actuating the safety during manipulation, yeah. Beretta knew about that issue 30 years ago, and fixed it on the civilian models. The military models, however, were apparently never supposed to get updates like that(don't ask why, I don't know). Personally, if I were to get a 9mm full size pistol, it would probably be a toss up between the beretta m9a3 and the Sig P226(take that as you will for quality of both). However, I'm a .45 guy. So I go for the FN FNX-45. And a 1911 of course.

[@brutallyhonest8601]

Everyone: 9mm vs 45 ACP Me: “A GUN IS A GUN.”

[@tedcruzwiththetopdown5411]

The 92 is still a viable choice for a carry/duty gun. They're well made, reliable, and they shoot well. I have a Beretta 92X Performance. Best gun I've ever owned.

[@Thechicagoted]

I’m just peeved that he didn’t even include a picture of the “Samurai Edge” M9 from Resident Evil

[@hero_3088]

What about the Albert 01R

[@maxschaeffner9005]

the main complaint from veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan isn't the guns durability, which is good, but the low power of 9mm. the the fact that pistols in modern warfare are only meant for last ditch personal defense, .45 is much better since it has a much better chance of putting an enemy down in one shot, rather than multiple with 9mm. that being said, 9mm does seem much more feasible and appropriate for law enforcement and security purposes.

In my opinion one of the best and iconic guns of all time

[@jonowee]

Ahoy Going on the .45 vs 9mm debate; is the P90 and its armour penetrating PDW cousins too new to considered for an episode of Iconic Arms?

[@XboxAhoy]

I'd say the P90 would make for a good episode. It's certainly distinctive.

[@Avalon304]

Ahoy I want to see a P90 episode... maybe for season 2?

[@CJSowry]

Def do P90. Made its mark in films/TV and games. Also possibly discus how if differs from its real life counter-part. It does annoy me how much it gets nurfed due to "balancing". BUT with a 50 bullet Magazine firing at 900rpm and able to pierce Kevlar Body Armour it is a tad over powered. lol

[@Lonewolf6565]

5.7 has been found to perform similar to .22 Magnum. Its also expensive compared to other Nato standardized rounds. The .45acp vs 9mm debate is also played out do death. .45acp performs better than 9mm in military service where hollowpoint ammunition is banned. Where it isnt 9mm performs just as well with twice the capacity.

[@ArhamAli-ke4ss]

jonowee I know its 2 years in the future but u got ur p90 episode lol

[@halcon1017]

If you think it is a good idea, maybe talk about the origins of .50 cal rifles like the Barret.

Lol it's a Barrett M82A1. BTW I know you mean .50 BMG but .50 Cal is too vague for it can mean .50 Beowulf Keep your .50 BMG in your machine guns.

[@mercentperrault]

5:45 “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.

[@deanc91]

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.

[@mercentperrault]

@@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.

[@Vitz_atelier]

Killing Floor's version of this gun is simply the worst I ever seen in fps games. The recoil this weapon has in that game is just idiotic.

Since I didn't play KF2, then 1.

[Vitz!] What do you think is wrong with the recoil exactly? It seems fairly realistic to me.

I think it should be a lot more precise. That's all, to be honest.
