Beretta 92

The Beretta 92 (also Beretta 96 and Beretta 98) was a series of semi-automatic pistols designed and manufactured by Beretta of Italy. It was designed in 1972 and produced in many variants in different calibers. The Beretta 92 first appeared in 1976 and was designed by Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazzetti and Vittorio Valle, all experienced firearms designers on the Beretta design team.

The Beretta 92 pistol evolved from earlier Beretta designs, most notably the M1922 and M1951. From the M1922 comes the open slide design, while the alloy frame and locking block barrel (originally from Walther P38) were first used in the M1951. The grip angle and the front sight integrated with the slide were also common to earlier Beretta pistols. It was produced mostly in 9x19mm caliber, with a 15 round magazine capacity.

The Beretta was the preferred sidearm of Nod officers throughout the First Tiberium War and personal pistol of Kane, who possessed one with a silver frame and used it to great effect on the traitor Seth.
