The ASP is one of the starting weapons in the mission Operation 40, along with the M16. This is the only mission that the ASP is available in.

Multiplayer
The ASP has high damage, 40, at close range and low damage, 20, beyond medium range. It has low recoil and a small amount of idle sway. Its firecap is 937.5 RPM, compared to the other handguns 625 RPM, making it the fastest firing Handgun in Black Ops. It has a low magazine capacity of 7 rounds and a quick reload. With Sleight of Hand, the reload is nearly instantaneous. Like all pistols, it cannot be used when in Second Chance with the Dual Wield attachment.
