and...the official word i got today:
Thank you for contacting Beretta Customer Support.
This looks to be a customized PX4 pistol. Beretta did not make the pistol in this fashion.
Best regards,

Looking for gun porn and came across this bad boy. Just the thing to have pool side. Damn those Russians have some cool shit.
The DP-64 double-barrel grenade launcher penetrates and destroys submerged targets from as far as 400 meters away, and is designed to protect oil rigs from enemy frogmen.
The two grenades launched from the weapon act as mini-depth charges designed to harm enemy divers the way larger depth charges damage submarines.
Russia's JSC Bazalt has announced that it has launched mass production of the DP-64 "Nepryadva" double-barrel anti-sabotage grenade launcher, following an order from Russia's Defense Ministry, the head of the company's Science and Engineering Department, Pavel Sidorov told RIA Novosti.
"The DP-64 is currently in mass production. In 2014 we got a sizable order from the Ministry of Defense, I can't disclose its exact volume and what units it will be supplied to, but it's for the Navy," Sidorov, the company's representative at the IDEX 2015 international defense expo in Abu Dhabi, UAE, told the agency.
The grenade launcher is designed for the protection of ships from combat divers (frogmen) while on external raids, open anchorages and naval bases, as well as the protection of water-based structures, sea platforms such as oil rigs, and other important coastal and off-shore facilities.
Previously, the DP-64 grenade launcher, which is capable of firing at underwater targets, was only made in small batches for ship-based naval infantry, some units of the Federal Protective Service and the Russian Coast Guard, which is part of the FSB's border guard service.
The DP-64 was developed in 1989 at the V.A. Degtyarev Plant in Kovrov, Vladimir region. It entered service in 1990.

more cool stuff from the Rodina
7.62mm PSS SELF-LOADING SILENT PISTOL
The SP-4 cartridge was a step forward in developing special captive-piston ammunition for silent weapons. The piston bears up directly against an elongated blunt-nosed bullet. The bullet is a hard alloy cylinder having a brass driving band secured to its top. The driving band engages the bore rifling, thus imparting spin to the bullet. By the time the bullet completely leaves the case, its driving band reaches the muzzle. The piston fully stays in the cartridge after the shot is fired, so the length of the spent case does not exceed the original cartridge length. The noise level» generated by a PSS shot, is somewhere between a shot of a 4.5 mm air rifle (101 dB) and a clap. The heavy 10-g bullet penetrates Class 2 body armor or a steel army helmet at a range of 25 m.
4.5mm SPP-1M UNDERWATER PISTOL
Developed in the late 1960s at the request of the Soviet Navy and accepted in 1971, the 4.5mm SPP-1 (Spetsialnyi Podvodnyi Pistolet – Special Underwater Pistol) was designed to arm combat divers (frogmen). Later, the SPP-1 was upgraded to the SPP-1M that was basically the same pistol but had an extra spring above the sear to improve trigger pull and had a larger trigger guard to accommodate the use of diving gloves. It is still in use by Russian Navy Special Forces.
The SPP-1M underwater pistol is a manually operated handgun that consists of four smoothbore barrels grouped in a square cluster. The barrel cluster is hinged to the frame just in front of the trigger guard and breaks open in a similar fashion as a break-open shotgun. There is a single striker (firing pin) and the double action firing mechanism fires one cartridge sequentially each time the trigger is pulled. The striker is mounted on a rotating base and with each pull of the trigger the striker is cocked and simultaneously rotated to the next, unfired barrel.
The pistol uses a proprietary 4.5mm SPS pistol cartridge that has high penetrating power by replacing the typical bullet with a metal dart. Underwater, conventional bullets are highly ineffective being inaccurate and limited to a very short range with a rapidly decreasing lethality. The “bullet” has been replaced with a long 115mm (4.53 inches) dart weighing 12.8 grams (.452 oz.) made from mild steel that has a slightly flattened tip. The fired projectile is kept stabilized by using a hydrodynamic cavity that is generated by the flattened point of the projectile that results in reduced drag, increased accuracy and lethality. The dart has a longer range and more penetrating power than speargun spears. The cartridge is a rimmed bottleneck case 40mm (1.575 in.) long and sealed against water. The complete cartridge is 145mm (5.71 in.) long and weighs 17.5 grams (.617 oz.
