Beretta 92



The Beretta M92F is a semi automatic pistol, the standard-issue sidearm of the U.S Armed forces. It replaced the venerable M1911A1 in the 1980's, where it was designated the M9 Pistol. The M9 is chambered for the 9 x 19mm Parabellum cartridge; while not as powerful as the M1911 it replaced, the M9 holds 15 rounds per magazine, more than twice the capacity of the 1911's.

This handgun was Solid Snake's weapon of choice during the Outer Heaven Crisis and the Zanzibar Land Uprising.

Many years later, both Snake and Raiden used a modified M9 during the Big Shell Incident. This version of the pistol had been modified to fire anesthetic rounds instead of the usual bullets, making it a non fatal alternate weapon, and had an attached suppressor for stealth capability.

There is one flaw with the gun: The slide locks after each shot. While this is supposedly to enhance sound suppression, this hampers the rate of fire, meaning that great care must be taken to make each shot count. The character automatically pulls the slide back to cock it again, giving it a firing delay of 2-3 seconds.
