Photo Of The Day - Life without the Internet, how would it be? How would you make it? Well, you certainly wouldn't be looking at these images from the Gulf of Guniea and the Italian Marines as they move in formation with their Berettas during a visit, board, search, and seizure training exercise aboard the Lewis B. Puller-class Expeditionary Sea Base USS Hershel “Woody” Williams (ESB 4).'

The Beretta was developed for the Italian Armed Forces as part of the "Soldato Futuro" project and was launched in 2008.

Hershel “Woody” Williams is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. Naval Forces Africa area of operations, employed by U.S. Sixth Fleet to defend U.S., Allied and partner interests.

A nice mix of Berettas and Heckler & Koch MP5s on that ladder.

We have more stories to tell and images to show, so please check back tomorrow for another selection.

Love the ARX, just wish it had better ergos. I wish Beretta had updated it instead of trying to go full modular and compete with the MCX.

I also wish we could have gotten the 12" version here in America as well.
