The M1909 is a relatively accurate and controllable weapon. It retains much of its damage over distance but like other light machine guns, the first few shots fired are highly inaccurate. This is resolved by firing continuously, which improves the weapon's accuracy over time. Due to a relatively small magazine of 30, however, it is advised to constantly replenish ammunition and reload whenever possible. The reload of the M1909 is very quick compared to other LMGs though this is offset by a somewhat slower rate of fire.

Two variants of the '''M1909 Benét-Mercié''' are featured in ''[[Battlefield 1]]'' for the [[Support]] kit, both of which retain much of their damage over distance, and are accurate and controllable. Additionally, the reload of the M1909 is very quick compared to other LMGs. This is offset by a somewhat slower rate of fire compared to other LMGs. Selective fire is available, although LMGs in ''Battlefield 1'' benefit from increasing accuracy with sustained fire.
 
   
  +
The weapon is best-suited towards engaging at medium to long ranges, as it boasts high bullet velocity, low damage falloff and minimal spread when the user is aiming down sights, as well as optical/telescopic variants and the ability to switch to semi-auto fire mode making it effective for precise shots at range. This is offset by its relatively slow rate of fire and poor hip accuracy, reducing its effectiveness at closer ranges.
