Bersa Thunder 380 Introduced in the late 1990s by Argentine firearms manufacturer Bersa , S . A . , the Thunder 380 is a lightweight , relatively small semi - automatic pistol series chambered in the popular . 380 ACP caliber . It is mostly similar in design and appearance to the compact Beretta Cheetah pistol , however it does have a few similarities to the Walther PPK as well , although the Bersa sells for about half the price of a PPK . Development . Preceded by the Bersa Modelo 383 SA , Modelo 383 DA , Modelo 83 , and Series 95 , the Thunder 380 is part of the current Bersa product lineup that also includes the Thunder 22 , Thunder 22 - 6 , Thunder 32 , Thunder 380 Plus , Thunder 9 , Mini Thunder 9 , Mini Thunder 40 , and Mini Thunder 45 . A variant of sorts is sold by another importer , Firestorm SGS of New Jersey , wherein the pistol is assembled from parts manufactured by Bersa and marketed as the ' Firestorm 380 ' and ' Firestorm 22 ' . An even lighter variant of the Thunder 380 , called the ' Concealed Carry ' model ( or 380CC ) , and a 15 round capable " Bersa Thunder 380 plus " were released by Bersa in the United States . Intended market . The Thunder 380 is intended for general civilian use . This conceptualization might be appreciated in the context of handgun use and law in many South American countries , where the Thunder 380 is quite popular , and . 380 ACP is frequently the most powerful cartridge allowed to civilians . Nevertheless , a number of military and law enforcement forces have included Bersa 380 ' s in their tables of equipment , including the Ecuador ian Air Force . Design advantages . The Thunder 380 has a light aluminum alloy frame that reduces weight for easier carry , yet the pistol still retains enough mass ( weight ) to help tame recoil . Due to the small frame , the pistol is very well suited for female firers , and males with smaller hands . The magazines , however are designed with an extra section of grip , so that all fingers of the firing hand are accommodated . The blowback , fixed - barrel design theoretically aids accuracy , and it appears that the vast majority of Thunder 380 users report favorably on that issue . The nearly straight - in alignment of the chamber and the topmost cartridge in the magazine seems to be responsible for the pistol ' s reliable chambering and cycling . The frame features a long rearward tang over the grips , which effectively protects the shooter ' s thumb web from hammer - bite or slide - bite . There are several safety features built into the Thunder 380 : a slide mounted manual safety and decocker that blocks the hammer , a magazine disconnect safety that prevents firing if a magazine is not inserted , a long double - action ( DA ) first trigger pull , an inertial firing pin , and ( in some models ) an integral key - operated trigger lock . Some versions also feature an automatic firing pin block . The pistol has a rear sight windage adjustment .

On the morning of 15 December 1944 , while submerged south of Matsuwa , " Dragonet " struck an uncharted submerged pinnacle , which holed her pressure hull in the forward torpedo room . The space was completely flooded , and in order to surface the submarine , it was necessary to blow water out of the compartment with compressed air . At 0845 she surfaced , just from the airfield on Matsuwa , and set course to clear the danger area as quickly as possible . Her bow planes were rigged out , and in order to rerig them , it would be necessary to enter the flooded compartment . Next day this was accomplished by putting pressure in the forward battery compartment , and opening the water - tight door into the forward torpedo room . The determination and skill of her crew were further tried when she had to run through two days of storm to reach Midway 20 December for emergency repairs . After overhaul at Mare Island Naval Shipyard , Vallejo , CA . , " Dragonet " returned to Pearl Harbor 2 April 1945 , and sailed on her next patrol 19 April .

Putting in to Saipan at the close of the war , she sailed on to Pearl Harbor and San Francisco . " Dragonet " was decommissioned and placed in reserve at Mare Island 16 April 1946 , and laid up in the Pacific Reserve Fleet .

Breastwork monitor A breastwork monitor was one of a number of ships designed by Sir Edward Reed , the Chief Constructor of the Royal Navy between 1863 and 1870 . The term " monitor " was directly derived from the American ship of that name , the USS " Monitor " designed by John Ericsson which had been active in the American Civil war . The American ships were very stable , and difficult to damage by gunfire , because of their very low freeboard . This , however , caused them to behave , some said , as a " half - tide rock " , with the ever present risk of being swamped in a sea should water gain access to the interior through hatches , turret bases or other openings in the deck . Reed proposed to overcome this risk by the addition of an armoured breastwork . This was an armoured superstructure of moderate height ( in HMVS " Cerberus " ) , centrally placed on the ship and containing within its armoured circumference the gun turrets , bridge , funnels and all other upper deck appurtenances needed to operate the ship . The presence of this breastwork allowed the ship to operate without fear of being flooded by waves breaking over the deck , and allowed the main armament to be positioned at a greater height than in the American monitors , gaining thereby greater command and range , while preserving the defensive advantage of low freeboard .
