It then appears in the missions "Operation Husky" and "Piano Lupo" where it is available to the player. The Beretta 1938 is a fairly reliable and all-purpose weapon. Its low fire rate makes it fairly accurate at medium range, although its low rate of fire may let the player down in close-quarters.

Multiplayer

It requires three to four shots to the body to kill at medium range, however its moderate recoil can be somewhat hindering especially at longer ranges.

At close ranges, the weapon's lower rate of fire will put it at a disadvantage when compared to other close quarters weapons, such as the American Thompson.
