 | | The Beretta company was established historically in 1526, when gunsmith Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta, of Gardone, received 296 ducats as payment for 185 arquebus barrels sold to the Arsenal of Venice. |
 | | Beretta is famous for its broad product range that includes side by side shotguns, over and under shotguns, self-loading shotguns, hunting rifles, express rifles, assault rifles, sub-machine guns, lever action rifles, single action revolvers, double action revolvers and pistols. |
 | | In 1985, Beretta was chosen during a controversial selection process to produce the M9 9mm Parabellum sidearm for the United States military, winning a contract for 500,000 units. |
