The Beretta M12, a 9mm submachine gun, was designed in 1959 and initially used by Italian law enforcement. Widely adopted in 1978, it replaced the older Beretta MAB. While the Italian Army briefly considered the Franchi LF-57, they never deployed it. A variant, the M12S2, was introduced in limited numbers in 1992. The Italian Air Force purchased M12S and M12S2 for airport security, but the weapon found more success in Arab countries and South America.
