B23R

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

- Description.

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

Multiplayer
The B23R is third in the Pistols category, and is unlocked at level 19. It's a 3-round burst pistol with a high rate of fire and moderate recoil. It will kill in 3 shots in close range and up to 6 at a distance. A favorite of snipers and shotgunners, the B23R's close-range capabilities, fast ADS and high damage make for a deadly secondary that can compete with SMGs, but loses it's luster at longer ranges. All of these attributes make 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, where it is equipped with the Tactical Knife attachment.

Zombies
The B23R makes an appearance in Nuketown Zombies in one of the houses and in TranZit it is found on the ceiling of the bus for 1000 points. It retains its 15 round magazine capacity, with 105 in reserve (40 shots all in all). It is fairly powerful, particularly on lower rounds. It will run out of ammo very quickly much past round 10, making constant ammo stops a necessity. However, it remains powerful until around round 20+, and is especially effective at the torso - 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 box access is not available. 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 a Fast Mag attachment.

Trivia

 * The B23R becomes the B34R when Pack-a-Punched, which is the "LEET speak" way to spell BEAR.
 * The B23R is the first pistol in Zombies Mode able to be bought off the wall (or rather the ceiling), as the others are either found in the Mystery Box (Python, CZ-75, Executioner, Five-Seven) or obtained at the start of the game (M1911).
 * The B23R is the handgun held by the man in the game's box cover.
 * David Mason wields the B23R during the cutscene in which he reunites with his father.
 * This is the second pistol in Call of Duty to fire in bursts, the first one being the M93 Raffica from Modern Warfare 2.
