Re: Woman Executed from Point-blank Range by Two Men Over a $269 Debt
murder, to these people is like committing a parking violation apparently. How our Olympic team made it out of there alive is anyone's guess.

Re: Woman Executed from Point-blank Range by Two Men Over a $269 Debt
That's not a Beretta, it's a Taurus PT 58; the slide grip serrations are a dead giveaway. It does look a hell of a lot like a Beretta, though, for good reason - it pretty much is. In 1974, Beretta won a contract to provide firearms to the Brazilian army, the caveat being the guns had to be manufactured in Brazil, by Brazilians. So Beretta built a factory. In 1980, when the contract was up, Beretta sold the factory to Taurus. Part of the deal was that Taurus got to keep all the machinery, tooling, schematics, and drawings in the factory. Beretta simply got up and walked away, leaving everything. Now, naturally, when you have Beretta tooling and Beretta schematics, you're basically going to build Beretta clones. What I never understood was why. Why would Beretta leave all those schematics and especially new pistol designs? At least 2 new Taurus models that came out back in the 80's were actually Beretta designs that Taurus decided to build. As it turns out, because Brazil made them. They literally would not let the Beretta factory foreman get on a plane and leave the country until they verified they left everything in place for Taurus. Fuckin Brazilians... |
