Overview:

PROS:
- Attacks Quickly (fastest of all non-Automatic weapons)
- Reloads Quickly
- Large Magazine

CONS:
- High Ammo Cost (vs other pistols)
- Low Range
- Short Effective Range
- Inaccurate (vs other pistols)

TACTICS:
Its burst-fire capability gives it more punch than most other handguns, which is supported by a large magazine and quick reload time, allowing it to put out a lot of lead. However, each individual shot does not deal much damage and its accuracy is mediocre at best. Giving it to a survivor with a high Ranged Combat skill and/or a Pistol specialization would compensate for both.
Recommended gear:
- Weapon Cleaning Kits compensate for its low accuracy, causing it to waste less shots, which in turn improves efficiency.
- Glasses increases its short effective range, with some variants increase accuracy as well.
- Ammunition Mods allows it to take down enemies faster.

BACKGROUND:
This souped-up M9 features an accurate 3-round burst fire mode, which can easily land multiple triple-taps in a quarter-sized circle, albeit only at short range. Unfortunately, this was too poisonous for the US government's liking, prompting gun laws to prevent its circulation there.
Equipped in limited numbers by some law enforcement branches.

Variations:

The Venom-MP has no modular variations.
