Strategies

 * The M9 is rarely useful in most situations and should be exchanged for most other weapons.
 * The gun is widely used at the beginning of a round during the initial scramble for weapons, and that is the main time it should be used.
 * Since the dual pistols update, the dual M9 can do slightly more damage if fired quickly. It is still recommended to drop them for essentially any other gun most of the time.
 * If your only ranged weapon is an M9, then stay out of fights with other players as you will likely be quickly overwhelmed if they have an MP5, AK-47, M870, etc.
 * If you are confident in your skills and can click quickly, the M9 is a surprisingly strong gun and can actually kill people using strong weapons, even guns like the HK416 (M416)

Trivia

 * The M9 being so under powered and weak is often joked about and occasionally used as a means of handicapping a player in order to create a more challenging experience.
 * The M9 is the most common gun you can find.
 * The icon for the M9 does not have an ejection port on its visible side. It could be a left handed model, if any exist, but this is debunked by the fact that the icon for dual M9s do not have any ejection ports. Unless, of course, the player is using right handed and left handed models, both with the ejection ports on the non-visible sides.
 * The updated version of the M9 includes a more detailed hammer, the floor plate of the magazine, and iron sights, whereas the original sprite did not include any of the listed parts.
 * The M9 pistol (in real life) is the current standard-issue sidearm in the U.S. Army, although it is slowly being replaced by other handguns.
 * M9 is the designation by the U.S Army of the Beretta 92.
