Talk:Beretta 93R

message: I've taken out the features list, since it contained some things that don't apply to the 93R. First, the safety is coaxial with the fire selector, not located behind the trigger guard. (The only pistol I can think of that puts the safety behind the trigger guard is the H&K VP70, and that's a design of an entirely different lineage.) The button behind the trigger guard is the magazine release; the text I removed claimed that this was located at the base of the grip (like on the original Beretta 92 and numerous other European pistols), but that's actually a mounting point for the removable stock. If the magazine release were placed there, attaching the stock would block its operation. BobBQ 19:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about the markings?  I.e.: '"PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T. Cal 9 Parabellum" on left side of slide. Serial number on right side of frame.'  I ended up having to find this on a Wikipedia clone that had an outdated version of this article in order to see what was printed on the gun, and only by digging through the article history could I verify that it used to be listed here after all. -W- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.109.125.153 (talk) 06:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, the title says it all... The picture of the pistol is a MS PAINT piece of garbage (i could be more graphic and more vast on the description but im gonna keep it together), not only it does not represent the actual looks of the pistol, but also its a DRAWING... how come this fact pass unnoticed by everyone?!!! for fucks sake, please change it i´m not allowed— Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.136.95.51 (talk • contribs) 
:A proper picture would be nice, finding one with a free license is the trick though.--Sus scrofa (talk) 02:13, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: I don't know if there are any problems with using it, but if not, I thought that the first image on the Internet Movie Firearms Database (IMFDB) page for the Beretta 93R might be a good replacement for the drawing.
I should also add that I have no idea how to get it on to the page if it is deemed an appropriate image, so someone with more knowledge of Wikipedia would have to put it in. 82.27.24.49 (talk) 13:27, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, one of the images is copyrighted, and I can't find copyright information for the other image, so they're not suitable for Wikipedia.--Sus scrofa (talk) 15:25, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to restart an old discussion, but I believe I may have found an appropriate image.  Using a Google Image Advanced Search, I found this image .  It is listed as "free to use, share or modify, even commercially".  Could someone check it out, just to be sure. Thanks. 82.27.24.49 (talk) 22:22, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

text: It seems to be an image of an airsoft replica though. Could you also point out where it says that it's free to use?--Sus scrofa (talk) 22:39, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed.  However, on comparison to the one on IMFDB, which is the "real steel", the only differences I see are the missing "Made in Italy" on the slide and serial number on the frame.  Could it not be used, as it is much better than the drawing, as long as it is stated in the caption that it is an Airsoft replica.  I got that it's free to use from doing an Advanced Image Search .  I searched "Beretta 93R", changing the usage rights to "free to use, share or modify, even commercially", then clicked the first image on the results (it's the drawing used on here!), then clicked the third image on the "Related images" bit in the enlarged image viewer.  Hope I explained that well enough.  In theory, the fact that it came up in this search should mean that it is free to use, though I'm slightly 'worried' that its appearance in these results may be erroneous. Thanks again. 82.27.24.49 (talk) 12:24, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
