9mm Pistol

The Beretta M9 9mm Pistol is the standard player weapon used in Sven Co-op. While it is soon replaced by the MP5 Submachine Gun as a primary weapon for its fully automatic rate of fire and larger magazine capacity, the Pistol still retains its use in situations where the submachine gun is not up to the task of dealing with targets at long range or where the high rate of fire is wasteful of ammunition. As such, the Pistol serves as the main sidearm to the submachine gun for cases where accuracy and ammo conservation is paramount.

Function
It is a small, select-fire handgun that is chambered in for 9x19mm Parabellum rounds and uses a 17 round detachable stick magazine, making reloads very quick. In addition to its semi-automatic, single shot firing mode, the weapon can also be deployed in fully automatic fire for self-defense from close encounters with enemies. However using this mode, the recoil makes this otherwise accurate gun to miss shots beyond close range, wasting valuable ammunition. Note that the rate of fire for full auto mode is extremely low- only 100 more rounds per minute to the base 200 rpm for the single shot mode. This should be used as a last resort, if weapons like the shotgun are otherwise unavailable for use.

This gun, alongside the crossbow and the Hivehand are the only weapons that can be fired while underwater, making them useful for fighting Ichthyosaurs.
