The Beretta 93R is an Italian selective-fire machine pistol, designed and manufactured by Beretta in the late 1970s for Dallas(Texas) police, they specifically requested full auto version of the Beretta 92 and from there the designer went with a more controllable 3 round burst instead of a more difficult to manage full auto. Other police and military found a use for it as well.
