Beretta M93R
I have to admit I’ve never much seen the point in a full auto handgun. Look difficult to control and seem impractical. Still, pretty cool (and turn the volume down – the music sounds like it came from the final scene of a 1970s porn flick):

I’ve shot one before, and while you’re absolutely right about it being completely impractical, it’s just about the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Or, as the full-auto guys say, it’s the quickest way to convert currency into noise there is…

Just because it’s pointless doesn’t mean I don’t want one. And you’re right about the music. Not every promotional video needs a soundtrack – especially for a product that makes a pleasing sound as is.

Markie Marxist sez: “The problem with full auto pistols is that they are far too practical. They scare the heck out of our Marxist/warrior/hero/criminals! Can you imagine how many of our bad guys would have to get real jobs if they had to face law-abiding citizens armed with those spooky things? Our criminals are supposed to be ripping off capitalism and bringing down America! That’s why we have to keep those guns illegal. That way, only our criminals will have them.”

Actually I found the front fold down grip on the 93R useless when I shot it. It’s only a .380ACP and since it fires fixed 3 round bursts, you really don’t get much more control over it with the grip than you do using a fairly aggressive isosceles stance with your upper body a bit forward. It was fun (of course) but I actually like the Russian Stechkin better.

Haven’t tried Beretta, but I’ve shot with Stechkin APS before, and without stock it was pretty much uncontrollable. With stock, after some getting used to, it was pretty good. Not the same grouping as in semi-auto, but not all over the paper either.

Tighten those grip screws!

Man, I love that slow motion hammering on the backside… Really purty ejection sequence too…
I know I shot all over the paper too…
