The Beretta 93R is a selective-fire 9x19mm machine pistol. The "R" stands for "Raffica" which means 'burst' in Italian. It was designed in the 70s and meant for police and military use - Its offering of extra firepower in a small package made it ideal for concealed-carry purposes such as VIP protection, or for close quarters fighting such as room-to-room searches.
Based on the Beretta 92 series pistols, the 93R is single-action and outfitted with a folding foregrip, muzzle brake, an optional detachable shoulder stock and a 20-round magazine. A selector switch allows the pistol to fire three-round bursts with each pull of the trigger for a potential cyclic rate of 1100 rpm - The three-round burst limitation was to allow it to be more easily controlled compared to full automatic. It is currently out of production.
Note: Some Beretta 93R pistols used in films are visually modified Beretta 92FS pistols converted to full auto to imitate a 93R. Look to see whether the gun has a slide mounted decocking safety (which would show it is in fact a 92F), or an 'enlarged' trigger guard or a frame mounted slide stop safety (showing it is a genuine 93R).

Beretta 93R "Auto 9"
The "Auto 9" is a heavily modified Beretta 93R that was originally built for the titular protagonist of the 1987 film RoboCop. The pistol is fitted with an extended casket-shaped barrel with a raised front sight and matching enlarged rear sight. While made specifically for RoboCop, it has been such a popular design that it has since been reused in numerous other forms of media, including the film and TV sequels and spin-offs to RoboCop.

Non-firing variants
Reck Miami 93
Reck Miami 93F blank firing pistol
The Reck Miami 93 is a blank firing version of the Beretta 93R. It is basically a Reck Miami 92 with a Beretta 93 style frontgrip. It can be distinguished by the safety lever that looks the same as that of a Beretta 92 and by the trigger guard that is not as large as a Beretta 93 trigger guard. It can also only fire semi automatic, so there is no fire mode selection lever.
Television
KSC M93R
The KSC M93R is an airsoft version of the Beretta 93R and it can be distinguished by the pronounced vertical compensation holes on the barrel, rather than 3 small holes like on the real Beretta 93R; it also has a full-auto fire mode marked with an infinity symbol.
