The Guns and Gangs season concludes with a look at the world's most popular weapons - 9mm automatic pistols - used by armed police, but also flaunted by rap stars.

Profiling their impact on the streets of Britain and America, we also hear from ex-SAS operatives, victims of gun crime and trauma specialists dealing with the deadly results of these weapons. Narrated by David Morrissey.
