Beretta's legacy began in 1526 when they made arquebus barrels for the Arsenal of Venice. Since then, they have become a staple for making reliable firearms combined with their well-known eye-catching Italian design, such as the M9, which is known to have been the general issue service pistol of the US army. With their products catching on worldwide, the brand has also licensed a line of authentic airsoft replicas to be made available in collaboration with some of the best manufacturers in the industry.
