The Makarov is a handgun developed in 1947 for the new 9x18mm Makarov cartridge. Loosely based on the German Walther PPK, The Soviet Union adopted this pistol for their military to replace the Tokerov Pistols after World War II. Practically all Soviet-Bloc countries were issued the Makarov pistol. The Russia recently replaced the Makarov with the Yarygin PYa.
The Makarov pistol is considered the most affordable reliable handgun at about $180. Though Russia does not manufacture Makarovs anymore, they are still produced in Bulgaria. The 9x18mm cartridge is shorter than the more common 9mm Parabellum (9x19mm Luger) found in the United States. Though some 9mm Parabellum cartrides have been cutshort and used in Makarovs (not recommended), a true 9mm Makarov bullet is closer to 9.2mm than 9mm.

The M9, as designated by the U.S. Military is a Beretta 92FS.
Sidearm of the U.S . Military.
The M9 pistol was tested to the extremes in a competition with other gun companies to replace the existing M1911 pistol serving the U.S. military through both World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. In 1985, the 92FS was adopted with a capacity of 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber, doubling the capacity of the old 7 + 1 capacity Colts. Though it uses the smaller 9mm round compared to the earlier .45, it has been proven just as effective, plus the 92FS allows for greater accuracy, and far better reliability. The M9 service pistol can sustain more than 35,000 rounds fired, and the 92FS jams less often then almost any other pistol.
The 92FS is designed to operate under the most adverse weather conditions. Easy dissesembly by the turning of a lever allows for field stripping in the heat of battle, as opposed to some of the previous 1911s which sometimes required special tools to open.
The 92FS can fire without a magazine by inserting a round directly into the barrel.

A gun company in the United States made popular for it's line of rimfire pistols. The Ruger Mark I in .22lr, Rugers original model was patented in 1946 and produced in 1949. It was designed to have an appearance and shape similar to that of the P.08 Luger due to the Lugers grand appearance and good grip angle. One hypothesis is that it was designed to appeal to World War II veterans and fanatics. At the time of its production, it was one of the first rimfire pistols to retain affordability while being exceedingly reliable and very accurate.
Today, the Mark II and Mark III, and the .22/45 versions, which are later versions of the original Mark I are still the staple gun of Ruger. They are known to be very reliable for rimfires, which are usually notoriously unreliable.
Ruger also has a very popular and well made semi-automatic carbine, the 10/22, as well as a wide array of revolvers and semi-automatic pistols geared towards law enforcement and self defense. They also make some shotguns and other rifles.
Some Examples of their products:
Ruger Mk. II and .22/45(.22lr) ~$450
Ruger 10/22 (.22lr) ~ $150

Someone who makes "documentries" that are really just a whole bunch of lies intended to work on the intense emotions of the naive liberals into being more ignorant that they already are.
Farenheit 9/11 was allmost completely ficticious.
