Bigpapaj 1971 In all seriousness, the 5.7mm is better. Even lower recoil than 9mm, size allows for high capacity magazines, high velocity and better performance against body armour than 9mm or 45 ACP.
if you think 5 centuries and still in business is crazy, Japan has construction company since 578 AD named Kongō Gumi, and hotel named Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan founded in 705 AD. Britain has The Bingley Arms, dubbed "the oldest pub in Britain", founded in 900 AD.
Pistols don't win wars but they have started a few. EDIT: Well this sure blew up but can people stop commenting the same thing? Yes I was referencing the assassination of Franz Ferdinand which kicked off WW1. You don't need to keep saying that when 30 other people have already said that before you.
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.
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...
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.
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?
I'm not that into guns, and I know very little about them, but gosh fucking damn! These videos are entertaining and actually make me want to learn way more about guns. Amazing videos with awesome production, keep at it!

I know this joke refer to the world wars, but actually Italian army is the ninth strongest army in the world and, Beretta is one of the most productive gun brands in the world. 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.
***** I wouldn't call it 'very few'... I mean, I think *most* popular RUclipsrs put at least a modicum of effort and time into their work. Not everyone can be Pewdiepie, and make a living off zero effort.
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.

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.
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.
The M9 was the first gun I bought back in 2000 when I was 20 and I was moving into my own apartment, I liked the tagline: "When your locks fail, it's trigger WON'T. The M9, army approved". I have a M9 and a Mossberg 590 A1 as my home defence guns, never had to use them for that role and hopefully never will but it's nice to have them just in case. Great video as always Ahoy and I'm loving your new 'Iconic Arms' series :)
The beretta92 is totally not a bad gun, its great looking, have a really good capacity and it's really reliable, also it has a normal barrel so the shots are more accurate than a cz (for example) with a short barrel.
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.
*mini gun a mini gun isn't really a weapon or an official class of weapon I don't think. There are lots well not lots but more than one kind of weapon like you would think of the mini gun any thing with multiple barrels and shoots at a high rate of fire now to Thepigmaster the gatling gun was a real thing
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.
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.
Pistols are blasphemously underrated in video games. Edit: A ubiquitous ally to the M4, nothing could be more true. M4 and M9 was, is, and will always be my favorite combination in any shooter video game.

This gun is your starting best friend when exploring a zombie filled mansion in the mountains that has an underground bio-organic weapon development lab...
Distinctly remember this being my most used weapon on BF4. I cycled through primary weapons in short bursts, but the M9 was always the best sidearm imo.
I love these videos so much. They're like mini documentaries about specific guns that we all know and love. They're very informative and I love learning new things about these guns that I thought I knew everything about.
you might have wanted to state that the p226 actually outperformed the 92fs in testing, but the army chose it because Beretta was willing to allow production on us soil.
The Beretta M9 / 92 / 92FS series will always be my favorite 9mm handgun I love the gun it’s because resident evil remake I’m here because of this gun in my opinion, the Beretta, it’s easy, one of my favorite handguns next to 1911 45 ACP with longer Beavertail
I once held a Beretta M9. It's so incredibly comfortable in the hand, it fits like a glove and has the perfect weight. Haven't encountered another gun quite as natural as the M9.
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
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.
The Beretta 92 is the closest gun I've ever seen to being of an almost Baroque design style. That it comes from Italy is fitting. It fights for best looking handgun ever made in my head with 1911s and the CZ75.
What an incredible little handgun. I own one myself, smooth trigger pull, easy to field strip and clean, accurate, fun to shoot all around, although I love all my .45s, I love this gun.
i own a beretta 92; the 92X specifically. the reason why i bought it? not because the military use it, not because it's been used in so many games, but because... it looked nice to me. i preferred its ergonomics compared to something like a glock or a sig. the open barrel and more curved slide design looked appealing, and no one ever said anything bad about it, so i got one. unfortunately i don't get out to the range hardly ever, so i just end up using snap caps to practice reloads and disassembling/reassembling it at my desk xP, but it's a nice pistol with a good look and feel. i see why it's so popular
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.
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.
@@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.
"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.
+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.
***** 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.
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.
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.
Watching this on my phone visiting home, niece hears the question which is better 9mm or 45mm acp. She goes, "Uhm. 45 is more than 9. Weird question." Someone tell the Army they just got schooled by a 9 year old.
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.

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
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.
For some reason, since I first started seeing the beretta 92, I understood the concept of liking guns and having a favorite one. (I've never seen one in real though)
Can you please do a video on the 1911? Also, a series where pistols are the superior weapon and others like shot guns and rifles are almost flat out ignored are the splinter cell games. Especially the last two, conviction and blacklist
"What is better 9mm or 45acp?" Oh my friend you just started a flame war.

In all seriousness, the 5.7mm is better. Even lower recoil than 9mm, size allows for high capacity magazines, high velocity and better performance against body armour than 9mm or 45 ACP.
Digiquill 500 Fucking Magnum
A SIG in .40 s&w, so you can covert easily to .357 sig. Two amazing rounds that each are superior to the .45ACP and the 9mmp

Stu, it seems like the iconic arms weapon series have been very popular to this date.
Hopefully you will continue this series.
This is a run of 6 episodes, after which I'll be doing some other stuff - but Iconic Arms will return.
Amazing.
BTW, do you still read questions for your bonus episode from the previous bonus episodes?
Yes, I take all questions from the previous episode.
This gun is your starting best friend when exploring a zombie filled mansion in the mountains that has an underground bio-organic weapon development lab...
I own 2 M9s. And so far they haven't let down. With the time I used it in the Army to this day. They are amazing
As far as the 9mm vs 45 debate is concerned, I'll quote a famous fictional Beretta 92 user: "If you can hit your target, pretty much any gun will do."
Distinctly remember this being my most used weapon on BF4. I cycled through primary weapons in short bursts, but the M9 was always the best sidearm imo.
I love these videos so much. They're like mini documentaries about specific guns that we all know and love. They're very informative and I love learning new things about these guns that I thought I knew everything about.
These videos are alot better than those awful titanfall weapon guides
Eww no
it means that Stu's Titanfall vids are awful?
They were the best damn Titanfall vids out there.
Ahoy I appreciated them.
titanfall was a failure of a game
destiny as well
you might have wanted to state that the p226 actually outperformed the 92fs in testing, but the army chose it because Beretta was willing to allow production on us soil.
Not to mention that the Beretta M9/92FS is also an ambidextrous handgun great for both right handed and specially left handed user-friendly.
Not true u idiot. They were both the same in price and performance. Beretta was cheaper on mags and matainence

The Beretta M9 / 92 / 92FS series will always be my favorite 9mm handgun I love the gun it’s because resident evil remake I’m here because of this gun in my opinion, the Beretta, it’s easy, one of my favorite handguns next to 1911 45 ACP with longer Beavertail
I once held a Beretta M9. It's so incredibly comfortable in the hand, it fits like a glove and has the perfect weight. Haven't encountered another gun quite as natural as the M9.

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
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.
The open top design helps it clear debris during cycling.
however over-penetration proves a big problem in terms of Home Defense
Robot Rock Yeah i like .45 more for personal defense, since your average home invader is going to come prepped for a firefight
+Robot Rock how about hollow points?
The Beretta 92 is the closest gun I've ever seen to being of an almost Baroque design style. That it comes from Italy is fitting. It fights for best looking handgun ever made in my head with 1911s and the CZ75.

JEEZ that was BADASS
I can imagine Stu saying "Here's some battlefield 3/4 content, are you happy now?"
i own a beretta 92; the 92X specifically. the reason why i bought it? not because the military use it, not because it's been used in so many games, but because... it looked nice to me. i preferred its ergonomics compared to something like a glock or a sig. the open barrel and more curved slide design looked appealing, and no one ever said anything bad about it, so i got one. unfortunately i don't get out to the range hardly ever, so i just end up using snap caps to practice reloads and disassembling/reassembling it at my desk xP, but it's a nice pistol with a good look and feel. i see why it's so popular
"Not showing off, just showing up." Hits hard.

After 10 years, the script, audio, editing, everything still holds up beautifully.
The Beretta M1938 ( 1:10 ) is also know as the Orso which is Italian for bear. Thought I'd just point that out.

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.
Kojima's always been a bigger fan of the .45, hence why the M9 was relegated to nonlethal duty in MGS2.
‘And remember switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading’

“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.
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.
@@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.
I may get hated for this, but i honeslty prefer the M1911 over the M9. Its reliability and history are what make me love the pistol itself
I hate you 😅
Oh...

Dat potato yeah but it caliber can’t compete with the penetration of the 9mm

The 92 line was and continues to be one of my favorite designs and the handgun world
"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.
+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.
MistakswereMade Well, the Taurus guns are based on the 92, but has been modified. In the beginning, though, they were extremely similar, yes.

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.

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.
the full package of the M9 was cheaper overall, though, so they went for it 'cause muh capitalism
@Master Rhan107 too late the p320 is replacing the m9
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.

4:30 The 92 isn’t actually all steel, the frame is aluminum alloy…or aluminium if you prefer 😀
Watching this on my phone visiting home, niece hears the question which is better 9mm or 45mm acp. She goes, "Uhm. 45 is more than 9. Weird question." Someone tell the Army they just got schooled by a 9 year old.
I’m just peeved that he didn’t even include a picture of the “Samurai Edge” M9 from Resident Evil
What about the Albert 01R
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.

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.
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.

@@janiceong7474 plus, the war didn't end with Hitler's suicide. Nazi's still fought on after his death. It was his successor who offered surrender to the Allies, mainly because the Soviets were balls deep inside Berlin at that point.
Please do the 1911
Yeah I would like to see that also.
Rasino Games 1911 will be included in season 2 I think.
On the latest AhoyXbox video, he said that the 1911 will be in season two, if there is one.
Rasino Games he said he would do a M1911 one for next season (S2). I cant wait as well...
I thought for sure he was gonna say:
*"The Beretta 92: Classic Wonder Nine, Reliable, Faster Than Reloading."*
Do the M16/ AR15 series please. Preferably just the M16 series, but splitting off into other AR15s would be cool too.
Don't ask for weapons, he already has a schedule planned out for two seasons of this.
@Nothing, Whoops, didn't realize that. I kind of stopped watching him when Ghosts/ Titanfall came out, since. i wasn't a fan of either game. I'm slowly beginning to watch these again, but I guess I missed that video. Sorry.
Blaze66666666666 He mentions in them in his AhoyXbox channel. He does 20 minute Q&A and upcoming episodes are a common topic. I suggest that, if you even used to, enjoy his main channel content you check out his "hidden" one.
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?
I'd say the P90 would make for a good episode. It's certainly distinctive.
Ahoy I want to see a P90 episode... maybe for season 2?
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
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.
jonowee I know its 2 years in the future but u got ur p90 episode lol
God, I loved wrecking shop with the M9 in Battlefield 4. Very well rounded weapon for quickly taking out a target or two

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.
+[Vitz!] Killing floor 2 or 1?
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.
+[Vitz!] I prefer more recoil, it requires more skill
For some reason, since I first started seeing the beretta 92, I understood the concept of liking guns and having a favorite one.
(I've never seen one in real though)
Ah its so fun reading comments of people who base all of their knowledge of guns off of first person shooters
I know it makes me laugh
Can you please do a video on the 1911?
Also, a series where pistols are the superior weapon and others like shot guns and rifles are almost flat out ignored are the splinter cell games. Especially the last two, conviction and blacklist
