Beretta PM12
Beretta designed the Beretta PM12 (Model 12), a 9x19mm Parabellum caliber submachine gun. The Italian Carabinieri, Italian State Police, and the Guardia di Finanza began using the production that started in 1959. However, they only issued it widely beginning in 1978 in a limited number, replacing the old Beretta.
In 1962, the Italian Army purchased a limited number of Franchi LF-57 submachine guns, which they deemed superior to the Beretta PM12. However, they never issued these to the troops. They only introduced the M12. The Italian Air Force, instead bought many M12S and M12S2 for the airport security units. However the weapon had a higher initial success in the Arab countries and South America.
The weapon was first seen during the Tet Offensive in 1968 when the US Marines guarding the U.S. embassy in Saigon repelled the assault by the Viet Cong using the Beretta M12. Various South American, African and Asian countries also use it. Taurus in Brazil, FN Herstal in Belgium, and PT Pindad in Indonesia manufacture it under license.

System is very easy to use and support is great. One minor note: The reason my account was not able to be set up was due to not having a primary bank account marked in the system. Although you guys did everything right, you may want to have this as a suggestion for a fix if other people have the same issue in the future.

I was skeptical at first, but American Gun Store is one of my favorite sites now. The community feedback is well-done so it makes purchasing from a trusted and highly-rated seller much easier. I have now purchased several items using American Gun Store and have had a very positive experience with all of them. The menus to navigate through things like recent purchases are a bit clunky and could be a bit more organized a little more streamlined. But the overall buying experience is top-notch.
