- ―Social Club description
The M972 is an SMG in Max Payne 3.
Overview
The M972 is a variant of the Beretta M12 submachine gun produced under license by Brazilian firearms manufacturer Taurus, and is the standard-issue SMG of the Brazilian Army. Its high rate of fire allows for quick kills at close range, however due to its small magazine it must be reloaded often.
