B23R

"3 round burst pistol. High rate of fire with moderate recoil."

- Description.

The B23R is a three-round burst handgun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Campaign
The B23R can be selected in the customised loadout, and is also a part of the recommended loadout in "Achilles' Veil". Unlike its multiplayer counterpart, it does not have any delay between bursts.

Multiplayer
The B23R is the third pistol to be unlocked at level 19. It is a three-round burst pistol with a high rate of fire and moderate recoil. It will kill in three bullets (one burst) at close range and up to six (two) at a distance. The B23R's close range capabilities, fast aim down sight time and high damage makes it a deadly secondary that is able to compete with submachine guns, but loses its usefulness at long range. All of these attributes makes it a popular gun in multiplayer especially in Hardcore Modes where it can kill in a single burst at longer ranges.

The B23R is the first weapon tier on Gun Game. It is equipped with the Tactical Knife attachment.

Zombies
The B23R makes an appearance in every Zombies map excluding Bus Depot, Town and Farm. In Nuketown Zombies, it is inside the green house. In TranZit, it is found on the ceiling of the Bus. In Die Rise, it is in the Trample Steam room. In Mob of the Dead, costing only 900 points instead of the usual 1000, it is found opposite one of the heads of Cerberus in the 'Broadway' cell block. In Buried, it is located on the right side of the gunsmith's wall. It retains its 15-round magazine capacity, with 105 in reserve (120 rounds overall). It is fairly powerful, particularly on lower rounds. It will run out of ammo very quickly past round 10, making constant ammo stops a necessity. However, it remains powerful until around round 20 and above, and is especially effective at the torso to head. Because of its power for a good price, this gun is very useful if a player joins in the middle of a game as they can buy it immediately and still be able to do some damage if access to the Mystery Box is not available. In Origins, the B23R can be found in the mystery box with the extended mag attachment, with 20 rounds instead of 15, and 180 instead of 105.

When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the B34R. It will become fully-automatic with 20-rounds per magazine and 180 rounds in reserve. It can be Pack-a-Punched multiple times like other weapons and can attain the Fast Mag attachment.
