"Essentially an Automatic version of the G17C, the G18 was developed for the Austrian EKO Cobra counter-terrorist force. Classified as a Machine Pistol, the G18 has been equipped with a number of modifications to allow greater control over its very rapid fire. Regardless, the G18 in Automatic is incredibly difficult to fire effectively at anything other than extremely short ranges."

Trivia[]
- The G18 Battlelog profile shows it without a selector switch due to it having the same model as the G17C in the alpha stages.
- The G18 HUD icon is the same as the one used for the G17C, this is evident by the lack of the selector switch that should be present on the left side of the slide.
- It shares the same reload animation as the MP-443, 93R, G17C and M9.
- At Battlefield 3's release, the G18 had the highest rate of fire at 1,100 rounds per minute. It has since been decreased to 900, tied with many of the faster-firing weapons.
