Template:ItemInfoboxThe 9mm pistol or the Beretta is an elementary weapon.

Overview

Although the 9mm pistol has mediocre accuracy and damage, ammo is often very abundant, and with dual-wield the 9mm's rate of fire is second only to the dual Ingrams. Early in the game the 9mm is the weapon of choice as other ammo types are scarce and the Ingram and shotgun are not as reliable in mid-to-long distance battles. The 9mm is capable of headshots at extreme close range; these will incapacitate an enemy despite the low damage. Always good as a backup; in case Max Payne runs out of ammo for something else, he will probably have these to rely on as ammo is so abundant. This is the most basic gun in the game, and is common early on. It is rarely missing throughout the story.

It may take up to 4 hits to kill an enemy, although three hit kills are fairly common.

Max Payne 3

In Max Payne 3, the 9mm pistol's model is seems to change from Beretta 92FS to the Brazilian Taurus PT92 AFS, a handgun based upon the Beretta. The reason why the weapon's model was change is because the game is set in Brazil. It's in-game name is PT92.

In-game

All the NYPD cops and the cleaners early on have a simple 9mm pistol, but it proves to be obsolete later in the game when you're facing commandos with expensive automatics.

Notes

  • Max Payne is always shown holding his 9mm pistol in cutscenes, even if it's out of ammo, or if he has a much better weapon. It can thus be argued that the 9mm is Max's signature weapon; also alluding to his occupation as a cop.
  • In reality, the NYPD does not authorize the Beretta to be carried by police. The police in the game would be shown armed with a Glock 19, Sig Sauer P226, or Smith and Wesson 5946. However, it can be assumed that Max, an unorthodox detective, would carry a weapon of his choice.
  • This weapon page refers to the 9mm pistol in the second game; in the first, it is named the Beretta.
  • When playing New York Minute mode or chapter selection mode in Max Payne, on Part III Chapter 2 Max will find himself with a single 9mm pistol with twenty rounds-faced with five enemies. A combination of careful aiming and melee should be applied in this situation lest Max find himself with an empty gun.
