The Beretta 92F/FS (designated M9 in the United States Military) is the US Army's and Marines' standard sidearm featured in many installments of the Battlefield series. Bearing the designation M9, the pistol and its 9x19mm cartridge quickly became the standard for all US forces. It replaced the dated M1911 as the standard-issue sidearm in US Handgun Trials during the 1980s.


Battlefield 2

"The 92FS is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol which carries 15 rounds in the magazine. The 92FS is used by military and law enforcement all over the world. "

— In Game Description.

The 92FS is the USMC's and European Union's standard sidearm in Battlefield 2. Its stopping power and accuracy are identical to that of other handguns in the game. Its magazine capacity is 15 rounds, its spread values are average, and its rate of fire is three-hundred rounds per minute -- identical to that of the MEC's MR-444 and Chinese QSZ-92. There is also a suppressed version issued to the Special Forces kit and Sniper kit, but the only functional difference is that the suppressed variant will not reload without player input.

Battlefield Hardline

"A common sidearm in military and law enforcement for many years, the 92FS is a double-action/single action semi-automatic pistol. This pistol is highly accurate."

— In-game description

The 92FS a pistol featured in Battlefield Hardline. It is the first handgun that is available for use for the Operator kit for both factions. By default, the 92FS is equipped with Improved Iron Sights.

It is a average handgun with no unique traits, but is well balanced. It has high damage and close range, killing an enemy in as little as three shots, but its damage quickly drops off, requiring seven hits at range. Its recoil is low and it can be fired fairly quickly without muzzle climb hindering the player. Overall, it can be used effectively as a close-range backup weapon, but any other unlockable pistol for the Operator class will present an advantage over it.

Trivia

  • The M9 / 92F is one of the only two infantry weapons to appear in every modern-era Battlefield game; the other is the M249.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

  • In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the M9 was originally going to be able to use both its standard black skin and the Inox (silver) skin, as did the M93R, as evident with the option to do so in the PlayStation 3 beta. It seems that in the end, the Inox model was used to the default M93R model (pictured above).
  • In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the Weapons and Gadgets menu states the M9 is "Equipped with a 15 round staggered magazine. This reflects the early render of the M9, like in the PlayStation 3 and PC betas, where the M9 had a 15-round magazine.

Battlefield 3

  • The M9 and 93R may lose its hammer when equipped with certain weapons.
  • The M9 in "The Great Destroyer" fired from the Police Car has no reserve ammunition (although it can be reloaded infinitely), a glitched hammer, and aiming simply zooms the screen rather than using the iron sights.
