The Beretta M93 Raffica is a burst-fire machine pistol featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty Online and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It was cut from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]

Campaign[]

In the campaign, the M93 Raffica is found in "The Gulag", in the armory before proceeding with the search through the cells for Prisoner 627; the weapon is a little hard to spot, being on the lowest shelf on the right below the AA-12. It is also found in "Loose Ends" in the armory in the basement. It is also found in "Museum". When being held, one of the few noticeable differences between it and the M9 is that the player holds the grip on the front part of the Raffica with both hands.

Multiplayer[]

In multiplayer the M93 Raffica is the penultimate machine pistol, being unlocked at level 38.

An important thing to note is that the M93 Raffica, despite belonging in the machine pistol category, is coded as a handgun. As such, it has the same quick drop and quick raise functions of the handguns, and can be used in Last Stand, two things that none of the machine pistols have access to. The M93 Raffica also has other statistical characteristics of a handgun. As such, it may be more appropriate to compare the M93 Raffica to other handguns instead of comparing it to machine pistols.

The M93 Raffica has the best damage profile of any machine pistol. At any range short of 12.5 meters, the M93 Raffica will deal forty damage per bullet, needing three shots - or one burst - to kill. Damage decreases linearly until 18.8 meters. At any range ast 18.8 meters, the M93 Raffica will deal thirty damage per bullet, needing four shots to kill, more than one burst. The M93 Raffica has a three shot kill range of 16.2 meters, the same as the M9. Headshots deal forty percent extra damage. Two headshots can secure a kill up close, and at medium to long ranges, a headshot guarantees a three shot kill. Headshot or not, the M93 Raffica kills in one shot at all ranges in Hardcore against regular enemies. The M93 Raffica has low penetration power, making it a poor weapon to use to shoot through walls with.

The M93 Raffica's damage per bullet increases when using Stopping Power. At any range short of 12.5 meters, the M93 Raffica will deal 56 damage per bullet, needing just two out of three shots in a burst to kill. Damage decreases linearly until 18.8 meters. At any range past 18.8 meters, the M93 Raffica will deal 42 damage per bullet, needing three shots - or every bullet in the burst - to kill. The M93 Raffica has a two shot kill range of 15.1 meters. Headshots will deal forty percent extra damage. This will not improve performance at close range, but at medium and long ranges, a headshot guarantees a two shot kill. The M93 Raffica has significant value in that it can get a one burst kill at any range, making it a rare secondary that retains its usefulness at long ranges. In Hardcore, Stopping Power is unnecessary. In Core, Stopping Power is immensely helpful in virtually all scenarios, and it is tough to justify foregoing Stopping Power on the M93 Raffica, even though it is still capable of a one burst kill without the perk.

The M93 Raffica's rate of fire is slow. The M93 Raffica fires at a rate of 937 RPM within the burst. However, the burst delay is long, and reduces the M93 Raffica's overall rate of fire to 459 RPM. This overall fire rate is slow, and is the M93 Raffica's biggest weakness. The M93 Raffica can kill in a single burst rather quickly, but if more than one burst is needed, the M93 Raffica's time to kill increases significantly. The M93 Raffica's fire rate mechanics are identical to the M16A4. The fire rate is so slow that users can manually fire semi-automatic handguns significantly faster than the M93 Raffica's overall fire rate should the user have a good trigger finger for semi-automatic weaponry.

The M93 Raffica's accuracy is odd. The iron sights are clean, and easy to use. The M93 Raffica's recoil per shot is rather light. The M93 Raffica has recoil values of 45 to the left, 45 to the right, 60 upwards, and 30 downwards. The M93 Raffica has the least horizontal recoil of any handgun or machine pistol, and its vertical recoil is not too problematic either. The M93 Raffica has a centerspeed of 1500. That's tied with the G18 for the worst centerspeed of any machine pistol, but the burst fire limitation will prevent the recoil from accumulating. The M93 Raffica's accuracy is standard for a burst-fire weapon. Unlike most handguns, the M93 Raffica has the standard idle sway aspects of a machine pistol, so idle sway will be of little worry to users. The M93 Raffica's iron sights are slightly misaligned, as the centre post is closer to the right side of the rear iron sight post than the left side of the rear iron sight post, but the iron sights are small enough that such a difference will rarely matter at close and medium range.

The M93 Raffica's handling characteristics are great for a handgun. The M93 Raffica allows users to move at 100% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 80% of the base movement speed. The M93 Raffica allows users to aim down the sights in a swift 100 milliseconds, tied with the M9 for the fastest aim down sight time in the game. The M93 Raffica has the worst hip-fire accuracy of any machine pistol, with hip-fire accuracy in line with the magazine-fed handguns, a middle ground between SMG and assault rifle hip-fire accuracy. The M93 Raffica reloads very quickly. The M93 Raffica's reload animation is 1.8 seconds long, or 1.9 seconds long on an empty magazine. In either case, the user can Reload Cancel after 1.2 seconds. This is one of the fastest reload speeds in the game, and users will rarely be in trouble when they go for a reload.

The M93 Raffica has the smallest magazine capacity of any machine pistol, at just twenty rounds. The user spawns in with a starting ammo loadout of sixty rounds for the M93 Raffica. As the M93 Raffica fires in three round bursts, the last burst in the magazine will only fire two bullets instead of three. In terms of handguns, no other handgun offers capacity or ammo loadout on par with the M93 Raffica.

The M93 Raffica has the standard assortment of attachments for a machine pistol. The Red Dot Sight should be avoided at all times, as it is misaligned, which can be very detrimental to the user. The M93 Raffica is an odd secondary that can be used very effectively at range, so the Red Dot Sight should be ignored. The Holographic Sight is also not properly aligned, and as such, is also not completely reliable as a sight picture. The difference isn't notable at close ranges, but the misalignment in both sights can cause misses at medium and long ranges.

The Silencer reduces muzzle flash, makes the M93 Raffica quieter when firing, and prevents the M93 Raffica from revealing the user on radar when firing, at the expense of range. Damage begins to drop at 8.8 meters and the minimum damage is reached at 13.8 meters. The M93 Raffica isn't particularly reliant on its range to be effective, but rather its damage. At medium and long ranges, the Silencer will have next to no penalty, but at close-medium range, the M93 Raffica will suffer somewhat. For those that use the M93 Raffica more at a distance rather than up close, the Silencer is a great attachment. For those that use the M93 Raffica more as a traditional backup weapon, the range loss will be much more relevant. The M93 Raffica also has tactical advantage with the Silencer, as it and the USP .45 are the only handguns that can be used for silent purposes. The M9's Silencer does not keep the user off of radar when firing, and the remaining two handguns have no Silencers at all.

FMJ increases the M93 Raffica's penetration power. The attachment is without penalty, but the M93 Raffica's lacking capacity still makes it not the best for FMJ usage, especailly since an M93 Raffica with FMJ has penetration power on par with the average assault rifle at that point.

Akimbo grants the user two M93 Rafficas to fire, at the expense of the ability to aim. The M93 Raffica's hip-fire accuracy gets slightly worse, degrading to assault rifle quality hip-fire accuracy. The M93 Raffica is plenty usable in a hip-fire only Akimbo configuration, and in Akimbo, the user is less likely to get screwed over by the burst delay. The user can stagger fire the M93 Rafficas to ensure a continuous stream of fire, or fire both simultaneously for what is effectively a six round burst. For those who use the M93 Raffica more as a traditional close-quarters bolstering weapon, Akimbo is a solid choice, but it's an attachment choice that puts most of the M93 Raffica's positive long range qualities to waste.

Extended Mags increases the M93 Raffica's magazine capacity to thirty rounds, or ten bursts before needing to reload, and spreads the M93 Raffica's starting ammo loadout across just two magazines instead of three. Extended Mags never hurts to use, and provides very relevant benefits.

Overall, the M93 Raffica is an incredibly versatile secondary weapon that provides the slick handling of a handgun with the firepower of a machine pistol. The M93 Raffica is also perfectly capable as a long range weapon, something that virtually no other secondary weapon can really do effectively. It is essentially a scaled down version of the M16A4, and as such, can be used in a surprisingly similar manner to that weapon. However, the M93 Raffica's overall fire rate is a major detriment, and one that makes the M93 Raffica among the most suspect secondary weapons for close-range combat usage. In a game with many extremely competent and lethal close-range secondary weapons on offer, the M93 Raffica's close-range performance can be notably lacking. As such, the M93 Raffica is best used to take full advantage of its high minimum damage. The fact that the M93 Raffica can get a one burst kill without Stopping Power also makes it a relevant selection on class setups that use perks other than Stopping Power in the 2nd perk slot. The M93 Raffica is a standout among many powerful secondary offerings in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer that can provide a long range benefit that truly no other secondary weapon can compete with.

Trivia[]

  • Raffica is Italian for "burst".
  • In the campaign, the M93 Raffica has a different pickup icon. Instead of the normal pickup icon from Multiplayer, it is the M9 pickup icon.
  • The campaign version of the M93 Raffica lacks the stock the weapon normally has.
  • When using Akimbo in third person, the stock of the weapon goes through the player's arms.
  • On the stock there is the word EOTech along with the EOTech logo.
  • The M93 Raffica's Create-A-Class image and pickup icon both feature an attachment rail. A rail only appears in game if there is an optic attachment on the gun.
  • All of the sights that can be used with the M93 Raffica, even the regular iron sights, are misaligned.
  • The M93 Raffica emblem shows only the word Raffica.
  • The Akimbo M9s and the M93 Raffica share the same ammunition.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War[]

  • The kill icon for Dual Wielding the Diamatti in Multiplayer is erroneously displayed with the kill icon for the M1911.
  • When Dual Wielding the Diamatti, the Diamatti held in the left hand will not have its slide locked back when the weapons are out of ammo, yet the right weapon slide will lock back in place.
