What is the magazine capacity of the M9, including a round in the chamber?

The magazine capacity of the M9, which is the military designation for the Beretta 92FS, is designed to hold 15 rounds in the magazine itself. When you include a round that can be chambered, this brings the total to 16 rounds available for use at one time. This configuration allows soldiers to effectively engage in scenarios requiring a standard loadout with sufficient ammunition.

The M9 is commonly used by the U.S. military and is known for its reliability and ease of use. The design specifies this capacity to ensure that it meets operational needs while maintaining a manageable firearm size and weight for the user. Understanding the magazine capacity is crucial for effective training and optimal performance in the field.
