ASP (weapon)

The ASP is an handgun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is used by American and Cuban forces.

Singleplayer
The ASP is the first weapon the player uses in the game. It appears as a secondary weapon in the mission Operation 40, along with the M16. This is the only mission in which the ASP is available.

Multiplayer
The ASP has high damage (40) at close range and low damage (20) beyond medium range. It has low recoil and a small amount of idle sway. Its firecap is 937.5 RPM, compared to the other handguns' 625 RPM, making it the fastest firing Handgun in Black Ops (with the exception of Dual Wielded M1911). It has a low magazine capacity of seven rounds and a quick reload. With Sleight of Hand, the reload is nearly instantaneous. Like all pistols, it cannot be used with the Dual Wield attachment when in Second Chance. The ASP is overall a very effective weapon, with drawbacks such as having low ammo capacity and only one attachment available.

Trivia

 * It has unique reload animation compared to the other pistols. The character grabs a fresh magazine, removes the old one with the same hand, and then slides the new one back in, in one smooth motion.
 * It has the fastest mid-magazine reload.
 * It was going to be available in Zombies mode, but was removed. It still remains in the game files as "asp_zm" and "asp_upgraded_zm."
 * Its handguard on the Wii is white while it is wooden/brown on all other platforms.
 * It is the first sidearm in the series to feature a clear magazine well.
 * It is the only handgun held with only one hand in Call of Duty: Black Ops without the Dual Wield attachment (Except the Wii).
 * It does not have a front sight. Instead, it has what are called, Guttersights.
