The Beretta Model 92 is an Italian 9 mm Parabellum double-action short-recoil service and target-shooting pistol with a 15 round capacity magazine and a 125 mm barrel. It was first produced in 1976 and resembles the Beretta Model 81 and Beretta Model 84. The Beretta Model 92 was adopted by the US military (who designate it the M9), and copied by Armscor in South Africa as the Armscor Z-88. It has a muzzle velocity of 390 metres per second.
