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.

The Glock 18 and 18C are select-fire machine pistols developed for military and law enforcement. The 18C features a compensated barrel and lightened slide to manage its high rate of fire (1100-1200 RPM). Key internal differences, like higher slide rails, prevent Glock 18 slides from fitting standard Glock 17 frames to deter illegal conversions.

The Glock 18 and 18C are select-fire machine pistols with a unique selector switch for semi-automatic or full-automatic fire. The 18C incorporates a ported barrel and lightened slide to mitigate muzzle flip and improve controllability during automatic fire. Understanding the internal mechanism, particularly how the slide interacts with the sear in full-auto mode, is key to its operation.

This video details the development of the Uzi submachine gun family, covering the Standard, Mini, and Micro variants. It explores Uziel Gal's initial reluctance to create compact models and how the Ingram M11's adoption by Israeli forces spurred IMI to develop competing designs. The Mini Uzi, introduced in 1978, featured a higher rate of fire, while the Micro Uzi and Uzi Pistol, developed later, utilized a closed-bolt system for improved accuracy, directly competing with designs like the HK MP5.

The Beretta 93R 'Raffica' is a select-fire machine pistol variant of the Beretta 92, developed for Italian special forces and police. Key distinguishing features include a three-round burst mode, a folding vertical front grip, and a detachable folding stock for enhanced stability. Its internal mechanism for burst fire is intricate, preventing runaway fire after the third shot.
