The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985, and is still carried by some U.S. forces. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
In-Game
The M1911 Pistol appears in Battlefield 1943, Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition.
Battlefield 1942
The M1911 is the pistol used by all allied nations.
Battlefield 1943
In Battlefield 1943, the M1911 Pistol is used by the United States Marine Corps in the "Scout" kit. It is a very weak weapon, requiring around 5-6 body shots to kill someone. It also has relatively long reload, so it should necessarily only be used as a last resort weapon. In game, it is an exact equivalent of the IJN Type 14 pistol.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The M1911 Pistol in BF: BC2
A highly customized M1911, favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round which gives it high damage, comes unlocked by default with the Limited Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, along with the M1A1 Submachine Gun, though it can still be acquired normally by ranking up in game. It has a large damage increase from Battlefield 1943 from 6 shots to about 4 in the body and 3 in the upper neck and head region. It is also seen as a kind of Battlefield VIP sign as alot of people at lower levels (before 4 when its unlocked) and after seem to choose it. This can be partially explained by the fact that on console version of the game, players equipped with the magnum ammo damage upgrade can score kills with only 2 bodyshots from the M1911, making it one of the hardest hitting weapons in the game.
