The Beretta 951A was an automatic variant of the successful Model 51 pistol, developed to create a machine pistol. Modifications included a folding front grip and increased slide mass to reduce its cyclic rate to approximately 750 RPM. Despite these efforts, the 951A saw limited production (around 78 units) due to practical issues like muzzle climb and limited capacity, ultimately leading to the more refined Beretta 93R.

The Beretta 951A is an automatic variant of the Model 51, featuring a distinctive wooden front grip for managing recoil during full-auto fire. To reduce its rate of fire, approximately 12 ounces were added to the moving parts. This specific example was legally converted to semi-automatic fire for the Swiss market, though original automatic markings remain.
