TjDolHaus86 shriveled up and a little older haha. As an owner of the M1935 and 92fs I got a kick out of that

It's a we haven't got time to polish this finish.

@Adam Halsey yes but the last ditch people's rifle was a single shot 8mm mauser far more crude than last ditch arisaka

Hell, Armaguerra was in Nazi/fascist remnant occupied Northern Italy and still managed to churn out interesting experimental guns.

Justin Lance the last ditch civilian weapon in japan was a sharpened stick

@@justinlance5239 do you have a source for that? You got me interested there, that is something you don't hear every day :)

This comment took a strange and sad turn

@@MarkLaLone ha!!

Probably confiscated (with or without bloodstains, hopefully the latter), sent to an evidence locker, and melted down or sold in a police auction.

Can I borrow it if Ian doesn't want to?

Facist as in the italian facism?

That'd be awesome.

would you mind telling me where you live and the combination of your gun safe?

sparviero142 The Kingdom of Italy joined the allied powers post-1943 and was involved in serious combat in Italy (multiple divisions serving on the front) and the air war over the Balkans right to the end of the war.

@@matthewpalmer7184 yes you are right. It was an imprecise statement "the war ended in 43 for the kingdom of italy" as you said it joined the allied powers. it ended the war against the allies(for the KoI), not the war itself. thank you for your clarification

@@matthewpalmer7184 Yep, my Italian grandad served with the British 8th Army in Italy post-1943.

Exactly

Yes thank you!!!

I thought Germans made it, Ian said they took over the factory, did they just leave the workers?

@@chriscary4074 Probably some were forced labor. You work for who has the gun pointed at you.

@@shawnr771 "You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people: those with loaded guns *cocks hammer* *click*, and those who dig. You dig."

In many languages "Tool" and "Weapon" share a similar meaning.

@@hhhhhhyy in this case is weapon specifically,it should be "Arma da Guerra" but that would be too bland ,so it was shortened and made more simple

Rather surprised that Italy of all languages has something other than bellum meaning war.

@@Kumimono we use the adjective "Bellico" but that is pretty much it,in italian Bello means beautiful.

The general English translation of the name would be "War Weapon".

No pleasing some people.

robosoldier11 Yeah it doubles as a spatula

charles wipman which is?

Scott M probably negative,cause he is an expert,otherwise he wouldnt give such a retarded vague comment on youtube right

8 September 1943

It was signed on the 3d. And made public on the 8th.

"Brevettata" means "patented".

@@georgesmith5708 I know, but thank you. I just like how it can be a pun on Beretta as well.

I think my friend has one actually. Looked at it a year ago. Have to double check. Crap gun, but maybe worth something due to rarity. Definitely looks like a Carmona instead of 35 Beretta.

@@BeingFireRetardant That would be awesome. I'm sure that'll make your friend very happy if it turns out to be the case.

In theory, yes. By mid twentieth century, components could be made with sufficient accuracy and repeatability to allow manufacture at several different sites, and assembly elsewhere. It wasn't the preferred technique for most countries, as it needed a tremendous quality control effort. You could assemble parts of Cremona built pistol into a standard Beretta, but it would probably need hand fitting, and it might not work as well as an "unmixed" example from either factory.

Betrayed the Germans in both wars :D Took a damn while in 2 though :D

@@jimmydesouza4375 Yes, that's wat appen when you'r so dumb to trust your own propaganda. Fascists are very dumb.

@@jimmydesouza4375 In WWI the Austrians broke the Triple Alliance pact. In WWII is like saying the Germans betrayed the Japanese by surrendering before them.

@@neutronalchemist3241 That's not true. The Italians broke the Triple alliance by invading into the Tyrol and such. Also there's a difference between fighting till your capital is gone as the Germans did and turning coat the moment there's angry Americans nearby like the Italians did :D. What you're doing is silly. That being said, the Germans did actually betray the Japanese in a few ways (primarily strategic and unfulfilled aid promises).

@@M.M.83-U Nothing about propaganda, simple fact. Hell I wasn't even saying it was a bad thing that you did, notice "took a damn while"? Was just amused at your countries continual betrayals ultimately ending up supporting the "greater good" :D.

Same here lol

sg shulte more like m92’s grandpa lol

@@arktikat0083 yep Grandpa

i know . it looks sad without its little red dot. :(

The saftey switch, when placed on safe, will catch on that slide divet and hold the slude open.

I think it might be an indent for the safety lever to click into as well.

Marco Menabue well... it did take awhile and a lot of men and material. So i wouldn’t necessarily say they were kicked to the curb as easily as you make it out to be. Especially going through the Gothic and Winter lines. And arguably the north was more valuable anyways given the its the industrial hub for the most part. So ya.

@@robosoldier11 i know but remember, while you were fighting italian partisans fought in the streets liberating them even with their Life. And now fascism Is back again with racism and Fascists that punch peaple in the streets Just because they arent fascists

Marco Menabue I don’t want to get into the whole modern political dialogue. I’m just pointing out that the Italian campaign wasn’t as clear cut and dry as a lot of people make it out to be. They still lost obviously. But they gave it a good scrap.

@@robosoldier11 i totally agree

The Free Italian Partisans (like the Free Polish and French partisans) are to be admired. The Communist Partisans were ABSOLUTELY no better than the German National Socialists (NAZIs) they were fighting. Tying children and pushing them into the Foibes of Istria by communists (well documented) was not any better than the electrocution or carbon monoxide vans the NAZIs used commonly in mostly Northern Italy. (I lived in a neighborhood with several former Free Italian Partisans, who killed many NAZIs only to be marked as enemies by the Communist Partisans after war. They (the former Free Italian Partisans) were allowed by Truman into US, many due to their exemplary anti-NAZI fighting history, as Displaced Persons since they were marked for death. ) If like communism you probably accept and approve of those atrocities much as those who like NAZIs accept and approve of the Holocaust. Most normal people find it all appalling and unacceptable. BTW: One Partisan related how his fisherman father was given an "Austrian rifle", presumably an M95 Steyr to shoot sharks or what-ever, by Italian government in 1920's. He carried it when he joined Partisans until he captured something better.

Axis Italy

Italy has the same offcial end to the war as the Europe, but they switched from axis to allies, and as Ian said the Germans took over the factory in 1944 when they were no longer in an allied country but an occupied territory

Chris Cary No. The official end of ww2 in italy is the 25th of April. That’s when they celebrate.

@@Alvi410 yes, but the reason these are "last ditch" is because they switched sides and so axis Germany had to boot scoot and boogie, again cause they when from being in an allied Nation to an occupied territory

Chris Cary Yes. Of course. Where did you hear me complain about that? I made an observation about dates. Not on occupation/production

Cremona

I thought all berretta pistols looks like that

More like it's petite grandmother.

@@gfarrell80 nah this last ditch model is too rough to be a grandmother
