Multiplayer
The Colt .45 is the standard sidearm for American soldiers in multiplayer levels. It is handy when the player is reloading or when the player is out of ammo for their primary weapon.

When the player gets eight points in a match, they get the ability to use two Colt .45 pistols at once (similar to Akimbo or Dual Wield) in the Submachine Gun class, albeit with very limited ammunition.

Once the player gets sixteen points, they get more ammunition. The dual Colt .45 pistols are very effective when enemies are close, taking out three or four enemies easily. Despite its advantages, the Colt .45 is not used often by online players, as other weapons outmatch it in terms of accuracy, damage and rate of fire.

Trivia

 * When using the sights in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One the player may notice a small gap in the textures on the left side of the hammer, allowing the player to see through the weapon.
