The 3-round burst, rather than a full auto capability, goes some way to making the weapon more controllable. As with all machine pistols the light weight of the 93R’s recoiling parts means that it has an extremely high rate of fire, over 1,000 rounds per minute. It has a longer 15.6cm barrel with ports cut into it to create an integrated compensator, a selector switch to allow 3-round bursts and a folding metal foregrip and detachable stock. The 93R, the ‘R’ meaning ‘Raffica’ or burst, uses the Beretta 92 pistol’s basic design with several changes.

These special forces units required a small, compact weapon for close protection duties, room clearing and personal defence. Beretta’s developed the 93R alongside the 92 for use by the Nucleo Operativo Centrale di Sicurezza (NOCS) and the Gruppo di Intervento Speciale (GIS). The 1950s saw Igor Stechkin develop the Stechkin APS, while the 1970s saw Heckler & Koch introduce the VP70. Mauser caught onto their popularity in the mid-1930s introducing their own ‘Schnellfeuer’ machine pistol. The concept originated during the First World War and by the 1920s and 30s Spanish manufacturers, like Astra and Star, produced fully automatic versions of the Mauser C96. VAT.The machine pistol was not a new concept by the time Beretta developed the 93R.
