Bernardelli VB: Not Actually a Beretta 38 Copy
This video analyzes the Bernardelli UB submachine gun, manufactured in 1948-1949. Despite its initial resemblance to the Beretta 38/42, the video highlights numerous significant differences in design and construction, debunking the notion that it's a direct copy. The UB was part of Bernardelli's attempt to enter the law enforcement and military markets post-WWII, alongside their unsuccessful 9x19mm service pistols. Approximately 500 units were produced.
