This video delves into the Benelli B76 family of Italian inertial locking autopistols. It details the various models, including the B76, B76 Sport, B77, B80, B80 Sport, B82, and the high-end MP3S. The description highlights the B76's inertially locked design, its commercial failure against the "wondernine" pistols of the era, and its relatively low production numbers. Key features like the single-stack magazine, finicky disassembly, and non-ergonomic safety are mentioned as contributing factors to its lack of success.
This video delves into the rare Bernardelli UB pistol, a 9mm blowback design from post-WWII Italy. The presenter explains how Bernardelli attempted to enter the full-power pistol market by scaling up their existing .32/.380 designs. Notably, the pistol was designed to handle the hotter 9mm Lungo cartridge. Only about 85 were produced due to commercial and military failure. The video highlights the existence of two main versions: hammer-fired and striker-fired, which were produced concurrently in hopes of generating more interest. The description also includes links to Forgotten Weapons' Patreon and merchandise.
