Beretta M9

The Beretta M9 is a pistol that appears in BlastGen, appearing in all modes

Campaign
The Beretta M9 is Michael Hick's standard sidearm in most of the missions, except for Desert Recon, in which he uses a FIM-92 Stinger instead. The M9 is also holstered by Baker in every mission and will occasionally use it when his M16 runs out of ammo, and it is also used by other Marines as a sidearm. However, it is never used by the enemies, making ammo for it harder to obtain. To compensate for the lack of ammo, it has 150 rounds in reserve.

In terms of damage, it can kill any enemy with 2 shots to the chest, or one shot to the head. It has a large magazine size of 15 rounds, allowing continuous fire without worrying about reloading. However, many players switch out their M9 for other weapons, due to it being a pistol

Multiplayer
It is unlocked at Rank 5, and is the second pistol unlocked. The damage is average for a pistol, dealing 40 damage per shot, requiring 3 shots to kill. Hollow Points, however, can reduce this to a 2 shot kill. It has a magazine size of 15 rounds, which is average for a pistol. It shares magazines with the Five-seven, making ammo for it relatively easy to replenish. Like other pistols, it has a maximum range of 100 metres until damage falloff occurs. Many players prefer the Beretta M9 over the Colt, which is unlocked much earlier, and often select the Beretta M9 once it is unlocked.

Zombies
The Beretta M9 appears in Zombies as simply the Beretta. It can be selected as a starting weapon and brought into any map. It does less damage than the M1911, dealing 35 damage per shot, killing zombies in 3 or 2 hits until about round 10. However, it has a large 15 round magazine, the highest magazine capacity for a semi automatic pistol. When upgraded via the Upgrade Machine, it becomes the Pocketed Malice, with an even larger magazine size of 24 rounds, becomes 3 round burst, and gains a Reflex Sight. The Pocketed Malice can one burst kill most zombies except the Armored Zombies until about round 17, to which its reliability slowly declines.
