Ghost Recon: Island Thunder (2003)

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is a critically acclaimed first-person tactical shooter video game. It was developed by Red Storm Entertainment, and published by Ubisoft in 2001 for the PC and later ported to the PS2 and Xbox. The game follows a fictional U.S. special forces squad called the "Ghosts" who are tasked to stop the Russian Ultranationalists. The game takes place in 2008.

The game has spawned two expansions, Desert Siege and Island Thunder, both adding new missions, characters and weapons.

The following weapons appear in the video game Ghost Recon and its expansions:


Pistols

Beretta M9

The Beretta M9 is the primary sidearm of the Ghosts, it is even used by Astra Galinsky despite having a Russian sniper rifle. Can be fitted with a suppressor depending on the kit selected by the player.
