====Pistols==== [[File: Beretta Modello 1934-1935.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The quintessential pistol]] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIX1EL1hTmE '''''Beretta Modello 1934-1935'']:''' [[AWESOME|HOLY shit you guys…]] When someone says a weapon is ‘the best of the war’, that’s typically an opinion. To say that the Beretta pistol is the best pistol of the war is a strongly supported FACT. Hell there are still plenty of people who would agree wholeheartedly that it's still the best pistol of all time. Light, cheap, accurate, easy to make and easy to maintain, this weapon was so beloved that everyone from frontline troops to the highest-ranking officers on both sides nicked one whenever they could, and they only stopped being manufactured in 1993 ... in Italy. Foreign versions are still being widely manufactured today! The only real issue it may have is that it's chambered for 9mm ammunition, but many [[Skub|argue that 10mm or .45 is overkill for a sidearm anyway]]. A ton of these were made, so they’re not exactly uncommon, and plenty of Allied veterans came home with one. [[File: M1942 Sosso Pistol.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Il Duce’s personal firearm.]] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO3ZAuiq35k '''''Beretta M1942 Sosso Pistol'']:''' A prototype design that’s only here because it ''was'' produced, but only for literally the highest-ranking people in Italy. All five of them. Benito himself got one naturally, as did the King. Used a holster/stock hybrid along with a curved magazine which held 21 rounds! Pretty good for its size, all things considered. Still, the weapon was heavy, the holster/stock was naturally not a good holster OR stock and we can’t say much for performance since it was given to the people least likely to ever get into a serious firefight in all of Italy. [[File: Glisenti Model 1910.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]] * '''''Glisenti Model 1910'':''' A leftover from WWI, it was commonly used at the very start of the war. A complex system that was so easy to break it actually needed special [[FAIL|low powered rounds that struggled to cause serious harm at anything but point-blank range.]] Even after this modification the left plate was prone to shaking loose after prolonged firing. * '''''Bodeo Model 1889'':''' If you thought the Glisenti was outdated, this revolver which predates it was still in use in the Italian army, despite being a fixed-frame gate-loaded revolver. This means that the revolver's cartridges can only be loaded and unloaded one at a time; something that most revolvers had ditched long ago.
