The Taurus PT92 is a handgun in Max Payne 3.
Overview[]
The Taurus PT92 is a Brazilian semi-automatic handgun that shoots 9x19mm parabellum rounds. As a result, it causes moderate to Normal amounts of damage, depending on the range of its target. The handgun is black in color.
The Taurus PT92 is a licensed version of the Beretta 92FS series by a Brazilian arms manufacturing company, Taurus. The Taurus is distinguished from the Beretta by its frame-mounted safety, which it retains from the original Beretta 92, whereas the 92FS has its safety mounted on the slide. Even from a distance, this makes the two guns easy to tell apart.
Interestingly, in Chapter 12, the weapon's final appearance, the PT92 appears with wooden grips, and a magazine capacity of 16/25 rounds by default/golden respectively.
Usage[]
The PT92 is a standard handgun in of many police forces and militaries around the world, and along with other handguns such as the M1911 and the 608 Bull, is one of the most popular sidearms in São Paulo, used by gangs and militias such as the Comando Sombra and the Crachá Preto.
In 2012, the former NYPD detective Max Payne began to use this handgun after moving into São Paulo, replacing his usual Beretta 92FS pistol.
