G18

The G18 is a machine pistol in the Glock line of pistols. It is available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It was first seen used in a demonstration, during the snowmobile chase at the end of Cliffhanger. The pistol is depicted in a "two tone black and flat dark earth" color scheme.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The G18 is the sidearm when using the Snowmobile in Cliffhanger, and can be found in some of the levels such as "Takedown" or "Loose Ends". In multiplayer it is a highly effective short-mid range weapon with a good ammo capacity, but has huge upwards recoil. Its firing rate is on par with some of the LMGs, making it both powerful and uncontrollable in full auto. It can have the Red Dot Sight, Silencer, Akimbo, Holographic Sight, Full Metal Jacket, and Extended Magazines as attachments. Unlike most pistols, the G18 is held in one hand and arguably bridges the gap between the game's semiautomatic and machine pistols in terms of handling (i.e. draw and aim down sights time), which can make it a competitive option for a sidearm.

 * The view model used in game is actually a Glock 17 due to the lack of a fire selector switch.
