about the lethality of the Beretta. The Beretta would come under the "assault weapon" ban, as it has a so-called high capacity magazine (over 10 rounds). Therefore, I assumed you were talking about the ballistics of the round, since the Beretta already passes muster on the capacity side. And, for speed shooting with a wheelgun, I refer you to to Jerry Miculek (sp?). Shoots 8 rds out of a 8-shot revolver in under 2 seconds, I believe, and reloads and shoots 8 more under 6 seconds, total. If someone really WANTS to do something, like shoot up a night club, or get their hands on an illegal weapon, they will usually find a way.
