The M93 is unlocked at level 38, and is one of the three burst-fire weapons in Modern Warfare 2. The word 'raffica' means 'burst', in the sense of gunfire, in Italian.

Unlike the M16A4 and FAMAS, it's a secondary weapon - but it still packs quite a punch.

It's an Italian weapon, produced by longstanding arms manufacturer Beretta.

The M93 was based on the semi-automatic Model 92 - well known as the current US service pistol, the M9.

It was designed in the 70s, taking the basic M92 design and modifying it to be suitable for selective fire, adding a foregrip, stock and muzzle brake.

It fires the same 9-by-19 millimetre parabellum round, delivering 3 rounds at a cyclic rate of about eleven-hundred RPM.

The M93 handles like a pistol - drawing and aiming almost as quickly as the handguns. In any case, it's a great backup weapon as it's nimble and quick to fire.

The burst fire ability means it's capable of dealing out lethal firepower very quickly - as with all the burst weapons, time to kill is remarkably quick if your first burst connects.

Of course, if you miss you're at a disadvantage - so, as with the FAMAS and M16, first-shot accuracy is vital.

Up close, hitting your target is easy - but the long-range damage of the raffica is unusually high for a secondary weapon.

Aiming at long range can be tricky, but with 30 damage at maximum range, 3 hits with stopping power will kill.

As far as your perks are concerned, your blue perk is up to you - you're best off picking an appropriate perk for your primary weapon here.

Up close the M93 will be a one-burst kill without stopping power, so an alternative red perk can work if your primary remains effective without stopping power.

If you're using the silenced M93 you might find that the reduced range means fewer one-burst kills, so I'd go with Stopping Power when silenced as then it will be a one-burst kill at all ranges.

Steady Aim is probably the best third perk if you're running akimbo, otherwise I'd go with whatever suits your primary.

Interestingly, you can use the Raffica in last stand - so that's a very viable option if you're prepared to give up steady aim or ninja.

The M93 is regarded as one of the more effective sidearms, and this view is not without merit - 3 successive rounds are enough to put most targets down, and the low recoil and burst rate of fire means time to kill is usually very rapid.

It does require a certain degree of precision to use effectively - but once mastered the Raffica is the perfect sidearm to nearly any other weapon.
