Shouldn't this page be merged with the Beretta 92 page. --AdAstra2009 14:15, 29 August 2012 (CDT)
I would definitely agree. I wouldn't even give the 96 its own section, as there is basically no way to tell the different calibre guns apart without a very good look at the slide markings, just merge the guns into the relevant section. As the only appearances listed are games, I hghly doubt that a games developer will actually be basing the model off of a .40 96 anyway, they will just use the much more common 92 for reference so listing it as being a 96 is not necessarily correct. Just curious, how is it established in the RE games that the gun in quetion is a .40, is it just presumption based on the magazine size, or is it actually stated as a 96, as the "appears as" column just lists it as a "Samurai Edge". --commando552 15:03, 29 August 2012 (CDT)
Image from the first game: Error creating thumbnail: File missing The caliber is not stated in the other games, but since the model is the same, the caliber is probably also. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:07, 29 August 2012 (CDT)
Material for Samurai Edge describe Barry's as being converted to a .40S&W chambering from a base model of a 92FS. So it's kind of a sticky spot as to how to categorize it. It may have a 96's slide, barrel and magazine, but it started as a 92FS. So yes, it's still a .40 in the other games as well, it's just debatable as to whether it's actually a 96.--PistolJunkie 15:12, 29 August 2012 (CDT)
Considering that:
The in-game model is most likely based on the 92FS model with no functional changes to make it "actually" .40S&W
The lore describes the in-game weapon to be originally a 92FS converted to .40S&W
In some games, the caliber isn't even stated to be .40S&W
I think it would be more reasonable to merge all the Barry Burton Samurai Edges back into the Beretta 92FS Brigadier section on the Beretta 92 page. --Wuzh (talk) 16:20, 29 October 2019 (EDT)
