The P2 is a short recoil-operated 9×19 mm semi-automatic handgun that has an exposed hammer and uses a single-action trigger.
It feeds from 8-round box magazines, and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute[CfgWp 6][Formula 1] with a muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[CfgWp 7][Formula 2][note 1] The P2 cannot be customised with optical sights, laser pointers, nor flashlights, and is also not able to mount a suppressor.

The P M/49 is carried as the standard-issue sidearm of Danish special operations and some regular Army officers.
Aside from its unique finish and grip texture, the P M/49 is statistically and functionally identical to its West German police counterpart.

9 mm 8Rnd P210 Ball DM11 Black Mag[]

Standard 8-round magazine loaded with 9 mm ball ammunition.[CfgMa 6]
Does not contain visible tracers.
9 mm 8Rnd P210 Ball DM51 Black Mag[]

Alternate magazine loaded with DM51 ammunition.[CfgMa 7] None of the rounds fired will emit visible tracers.
Performance-wise, its ammunition mostly identical to regular DM11-loaded magazines but has slightly increased stopping power[CfgAm 2], and retains energy better over longer distances[CfgAm 4] at the cost of having slightly earlier damage drop off[CfgAm 6] (penetration remains unchanged).

Trivia[]
- The P2 pistol was not originally included upon the DLC's release and was only added after Update 1.5.[1]
- Update 1.6 corrected issues with the P2's range limits and dispersion values for the AI. Prior to the patch's release, AI units armed with P2s and P M/49s shared the same dispersion values with human players, allowing them to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy at any distance.[2]
