Go buy a Beretta 92fs, get handy with your craft skills, and go play robocop at the range

Edit: I did have to google this one....I'm sure you all did too....
I always thought it was just special effects, but Peter Weller gave an interview and something he Saud suggested that it was a real gun, with just some cosmetic work done to it to make it look cooler in the movie.

This is one thing I would love to see Sons of Guns do a project on. Just something so neat about how that fires. Would the Beretta 93R actually fire in similar bursts like that?
