Tac-45

"Semi-automatic pistol. High damage at close range."

- Description.

The Tac-45 is a semi-automatic handgun that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Campaign
The Tac-45 can be used in customized classes in the campaign.

Multiplayer
The Tac-45 appears in Black Ops II multiplayer, being the second handgun unlocked after the Five Seven. It sports high damage, low recoil, and medium range. Compared to the Five Seven, the Tac-45 does have slightly higher visual recoil and a smaller ammo capacity, but its two hit kill range is four times the length of the Five Seven's. Due to the longer effective range, Long Barrel is a useful attachment for it, as it increases the Tac-45's two hit kill range, and the overall range of the weapon. The Suppressor is not a good choice, because, even though it decreases the range very slightly (a lot less than in previous Call of Duty games), it will decrease the Tac-45's two hit kill range, the key advantage this weapon has over other pistols and weapons. The best attachments for the Tac-45 are either Extended Clip due to the smaller capacity although only adding three rounds, the Tactical Knife for having a close range back up when needing to reload, or Dual Wield for the increased killing ability, or the aformentioned long barrel. As the Tac-45 possesses the same damage and firecap as the FAL-OSW at close range, it is very rewarding for accurate players thanks to its extremely fast time to kill, and yet its magazine size, reload, and recoil are decent enough to make it fairly forgiving compared to high damage handguns from previous titles.
