M9

The Beretta 92F/FS (designated M9 in the US Military) is the US Army's and Marines' standard sidearm for most of the Battlefield Series. Bearing the new designation M9, the pistol and its 9x19mm ammunition quickly became the standard for all US forces. It replaced the M1911 for US Handgun Trials.

Battlefield 2
The 92FS is the USMC's and European Union's standard sidearm in the game. Its stopping power and accuracy are similar to that of other handguns in the game. However, it is widely considered that the M9 has the most user friendly iron sights in the game. Its magazine capacity is 15 rounds, identical to that of the MEC's MR-444 and Chinese QSZ-92. There is also a suppressed version but is only issued to the Special Ops Kit and Sniper Kit.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
In Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, the M92F is the standard sidearm issued to all USMC kits. It has decent firepower, poor accuracy, but a moderate rate of fire.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In Battlefield: Bad Company ' s singleplayer, the M9 is found as a sidearm coupled with the M95 and the M24.

In Multiplayer, the M9 is the standard pistol issued to the United States Army' Recon kit. The M9 carries 12-rounds per magazine and the player will have 48 rounds in reserve. It takes six body shots to kill a player at full health. It is the American equivalent to the Russian MP443 and the counterpart to the MEC MP412.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The M9 Pistol is the first sidearm given to the player in Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer. It features a 12-round magazine, and modest close-range accuracy. It can be fired fairly quickly and can achieve a kill fairly easily. It can kill with four-six shots. It has very low recoil and open iron sights can make it effective in medium range engagements as well.

Before the April 21st, 2010 patch, the M9 had the same stats as the MP-443, and was largely disregarded in favor of the MP-443's larger magazine. The patch addressed this imbalance and raised the power of the M9. The weapon statistics bars were not updated however, so they incorrectly state that the MP-443 is more powerful than the M9.

Battlefield Play4Free
In Battlefield Play4Free, the M9 is the standard handgun of all players. It is unlocked by default. It has a 15-round-magazine, plus three magazines in reserve, a low firecap, and low recoil.

For tutorial purposes, the M9 can eventually kill an enemy with a single shot in the mission. It is also used in The Great Destroyer, being Identical in stopping power to the first level.

Co-op

Multiplayer
In Battlefield 3, the M9 Pistol is issued to the United States Marine Corps as their standard sidearm. It has a 15 round magazine and a one-two second reload time, with a low firecap. Although it is versatile enough for mid-range use, the M9 is most effective at close range, and is incredibly useful to any player, especially Recon players who are encountered by opposing players at close range. There are three variants of the M9 pistol - first, the standard no-attachment M9, the M9 TACT. sporting a Tactical flashlight underneath the barrel, and the M9 SUPP. which has a Suppressor attached to the gun. It is a direct equivalent to the RU's MP-443, although is not identical in stats.

Trivia
