Future Weapons was a Discovery Channel pop-science documentary show that ran for three seasons from 2006-2008. The show was presented by the late Richard "Mack" Machowicz and featured demonstrations of advanced weapons and period prototypes (including handheld weapons, mounted weapons, and military vehicles) coupled to what were often extremely optimistic claims about their performance. Many of the featured projects would later be canceled.

Season 1

In the CornerShot segment of episode No Place To Hide a Beretta 92FS Inox could be seen being fired by an unknown soldier/guard from a CornerShot attachment which has a suppressor attached to it.

The gun has a side folding stock for easy concealment and an advanced muzzle break which heavily cuts the huge muzzle flash expected from such a short barrel. The gun's recoil is very light so staying on target is easy, even when firing full auto. The gun was shown able to easily defeat body armor which a [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] could not.
