G18

The Glock 18 (or G18 as it is known in-game) is a machine pistol in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It was seen used during the snowmobile chase at the end of Cliffhanger. It has also been confirmed as a machine pistol in multiplayer. The pistol is depicted in a "two tone black and flat dark earth" color scheme.

History
It is a select-fire version of the Glock 17 pistol, with single-burst-full fire modes. It was created for Austrian counter-terrorists and considered one of the few 'true' machine pistols.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The G18 is the default sidearm when using the Snowmobile in Cliffhanger. It is confirmed that the G18 will shoot in 3-round burst in Special Ops; however it will fire fully automatic in multiplayer as revealed in numerous leaked multiplayer videos. It has higher recoil and rate of fire than other machine pistols like the PP-2000.

Trivia
The Glock 18 was voted one of the favorite new weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. *The gun is actually a Glock 17 converted to full auto, since there is no selector switch on the left side.
 * In Multiplayer the Glock 18 is a great close quarters weapon due to its extremely high rate of fire and large ammo capacity however, it should be noted that it has a very noticeable recoil. A good tatic is to aim at an enemy's legs or groin as the recoil will make the gun rise into the chest and head region.
 * The Glock is held in the left hand on the snowmobile, when seconds before "Roach" got on, he used his right. This is because the throttle on a snowmobile is on the right side of the handlebar.
 * A Glock pistol (not necessarily the Glock 18) is the icon for the Last Stand perk in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.


 * The Glock 18 is held in one hand, as opposed to 2 hands with other pistols.
 * The Glock comes in handy when faced with a close quarters confrontation, especially as one of the new Akimbo weapons.
