G17



The Glock 17, known in-game as the G17 or G17C, is an Austrian handgun first produced by Glock in 1982 and chambered in the common 9x19 Parabellum cartridge. Throughout the Glock 17's lifespan several variants such as the Glock 18 have been produced.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
The G17 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and is the standard sidearm issued to all EU kits. It features a moderate rate of fire.

Battlefield 3
"The G17C pistol is part of a large series of pistols from an Austrian manufacturer. Chambered in 9mm, this full sized combat pistol features a polymer frame and anti-corrosion surfaces that make it incredibly reliable. The G17C is incredibly popular with both Police and Military units worldwide. This G17C has been equipped with an integral Laser Sight that makes unaimed fire more accurate"

- In-Game description

The G17C is a weapon featured in Battlefield 3

Singleplayer
The G17C can be seen in holsters of the PLR troops, though they only use them against the player in Operation Guillotine if the Quick Time Event is failed. Also, it is not available to the player.

Multiplayer
The G17C is an unlockable sidearm, awarded at Rank 4. It has a 17+1 capacity, with low recoil, moderately high fire rate, and medium power and is statistically identical to the MP-443 barring the higher velocity of the MP443's bullets. It has by default an attached laser, which can be toggled on and off while in use.

At rank 19, a suppressed version is unlocked, making it the only sidearm available to all players without the End Game expansion pack, able to use two attachments.
