The Bernardelli P018S is an Italian DA/SA service pistol released in 1982, featuring a Browning tilting barrel system and a steel frame. Despite its elegant design and thinner profile compared to the Beretta M9, it was not commercially successful and Bernardelli was later sold. The pistol was offered in 9mm Parabellum, 7.65mm Parabellum, and 9x21mm.

The Bernardelli VB and Beretta Model 4 (post-war 38/42) are compared, highlighting significant internal mechanical differences despite external similarities. The Beretta Model 4 offers better controllability with a lower rate of fire and superior sights, making it more practical. The Bernardelli VB features a much higher rate of fire but has a rougher trigger reset and less user-friendly sights.

The Bernardelli VB is an Italian post-WWII submachine gun that superficially resembles the Beretta Model 38 but has significant internal differences. It features a single trigger with a three-position selector, unlike the Beretta's dual triggers. Disassembly and internal components are not interchangeable with Beretta parts. Despite its design, the VB was a commercial failure, with only about 500 units produced.
