The Beretta Model 92 is an Italian 9 mm Parabellum double-action short-recoil service and target-shooting pistol with a 15 round capacity magazine and a 125 mm barrel. It was first produced in 1976 and resembles the Beretta Model 81 and Beretta Model 84. The Beretta Model 92 was adopted by the US military (who designate it the M9), and copied by Armscor in South Africa as the Armscor Z-88. It has a muzzle velocity of 390 metres per second.

The Buck Master is an American combat/survival knife based on the M9 bayonet design. It has a 7.5 inch stainless steel Bowie-shaped blade with a hollow-ground main edge and; serrated clip edge; and saw back. Two anchor pins store in the hollow handle and can be screwed into threaded holes in the guard for use as a grapple, together with the lanyard attachment ring under the pommel. With so many gimmicks, the Buck Master with it's steel handle, is more for show than for any serious use.
