The Beretta 92FS was chosen for Resident Evil because, in the mid-1990s, it was the "hero gun." It was the sidearm of choice in Die Hard , Lethal Weapon , and Matrix . It represented modern, high-capacity law enforcement power.

To understand Wesker’s Beretta, you must first understand the "Samurai Edge" project.

Wesker’s Beretta appears most notably in Resident Evil 5 . It is not a standard pickup weapon; it is a "Special" weapon that requires unlocking.
