Call of Duty: Black Ops II (also known as CoD:Blops 2) is the ninth installment in the Call of Duty series, and the third main entry in the Black Ops sub-franchise. The game has variously been developed by Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, and was published by Activision in 2012 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
The story continues from Call of Duty: Black Ops and is set over two time periods, with previous protagonist Alex Mason continuing his top-secret work during the Cold War while his son David "Section" Mason deals with an emerging threat in 2025 from a powerful, ruthless terrorist leader named Menendez who has mysterious links to his father's work in the past.
For purposes of this article, Alex Mason is referred to as "Mason" and David Mason as "Section."
The following weapons are seen in the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II:
Note: spoilers are present in some descriptions.
Overview
Black Ops II uses the standard system of granting the player two "slots" for weapons; in the campaign this can be any two weapons. Unlike previous games, the game's single-player mode begins each mission with a multiplayer-like loadout screen where the player can choose the two weapons they will be equipped with and customize them, with new weapons and accessories unlocking as the game progresses. Special weapon crates are placed through the maps which contain copies of their chosen weapons, to ensure they do not run out of ammunition using a weapon that would not normally spawn in that mission.
The game features an accessory system for customizing weapons as before; in single-player, most weapons which allow accessories can have up to three. Weapons are divided into "past" weapons for the Cold War setting, and "future" weapons for the 2025 setting, each with their own accessories. One possible "accessory" for a weapon is select-fire, allowing a semi-auto or burst-only weapon to toggle into full-auto, or vice-versa.
Pistols
"B23R"
A fictional automatic handgun called the "B23R" is available in the future levels. It appears to be intended as a "futurised" version of the Beretta 93R seen in previous Call of Duty games, but most of the weapon's actual design cues come from custom M1911 pistols, such as the Strayer Voigt Infinity.
Beretta 92SB
Soldiers can sometimes be seen with holstered Beretta 92SB handguns in the future levels, particularly Salazar. This is odd, since the weapon is not available in gameplay and nobody ever uses one.
FN FNP-45 Tactical
Called the "Tac-45," the FN FNP-45 Tactical has a black slide and flat dark earth frame when no camo is applied, and can be selected as a sidearm. It has a 10-round capacity by default, but gains the proper 15-round capacity when "Extended Clip" is chosen.
Taurus Raging Judge
A Taurus Raging Judge is Menendez's signature weapon during the game's campaign, and is called the "Executioner." Judging by the cylinder it appears to be the cancelled 28-gauge version. It exclusively fires shotgun shells, and can be unlocked for the campaign by completing 5 challenges in "Celerium." The reload animation is extremely bizarre; the player character ejects the entire contents of the cylinder, but only inserts as many rounds as would be needed to replace those actually fired. The reloading animation is a loop showing the cartridges being placed into the same chamber of an empty cylinder, which magically becomes completely full when it is snapped closed.
TDI Kard
A fully automatic handgun based on the TDI Kard called the KAP-40 is available in the future levels. It's very common and appears to be a standard handgun for the United States military in 2025.
Colt M1911A1
A nickel plated M1911A1 is briefly seen in the holster of a solider in the reveal trailer. A pistol with the standard finish is available from the start of the game for campaign missions and is once more the starting weapon for Zombies.
FN Five-seveN
The FN Five-seveN is a returning weapon from Modern Warfare 3. While it is still held with one hand, it now has its correct 20-round capacity. It comes standard with bright tritium three-dot sights.
Colt Python
The Python returns from Black Ops in Zombies mode, and is seen in Jonas Savimbi's holster in "Pyrrhic Victory."
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is first available in the first mission of the game, Pyrrhic Victory, used by the MPLA.
Makarov PM
The Makarov returns from Black Ops and is available in the mission "Old Wounds".
Submachine guns
CZ SCORPION EVO 3
The CZ SCORPION EVO 3 is available in the 2025 missions. It has the highest rate of fire of any submachine gun in the game.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is available in the single-player campaign and in Zombies mode.
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
The Heckler & Koch MP7A1 returns from Modern Warfare 3, used by the Yemeni Army in "Achilles' Veil." Unlike its last appearance, its foregrip is folded by default; the Foregrip attachment unfolds it.
IMI Uzi
The Uzi is used by the Cartel and the PDF troops in Nicaragua in "Time And Fate."
Jian She Type-05
The Jian She Type-05 appearing as the "Chicom CQB". It will be the only Sub-Machine Gun capable of firing in three-round burst mode.
MSMC
The Modern Sub Machine Carbine is available, commonly used by Cordis Die mercenaries.
"PDW-57"
This fictional submachine gun bears a strong resemblance to the FN P90 TR, and is probably intended to represent a "futurised" version of it. It uses a very similar polycarbonate box magazine, but rather than being inserted from the top of the weapon it pivots at the front and swings out the the left-hand side.

TDI Vector
The "Vector K10" in the game is actually a standard TDI Vector; while the name implies it is a KRISS K10, it does not have the detachable magazine well or diagonal reversible charging handle of the K10 model. It has a black finish as opposed to the tan finish from MW2.
Shotguns
Beretta Model 682 Shotgun
The Beretta 682 returns from the first Black Ops in the zombies mode, once again named after the Rottweil Olympia Over/Under 72 shotgun.
Kel-Tec KSG
The Kel-Tec KSG is seen in the hands of LAPD officers in "Cordis Die" and is found in the armoury of the USS Obama. Unlike in Modern Warfare 3, shells are inserted into both magazine tubes during the reload, but there is still no animation for switching the tube selector and so the weapon would only really be able to fire seven rounds from one tube.
M1216
The SRM Arms Model 1216 is seen incorrectly as a fully automatic shotgun. The weapon is unique in that the magazine is a tube containing four stacks of shotgun shells, and the tube must be manually rotated after one stack is emptied..
Remington 870 MCS
The Remington 870 MCS with a saddler shell holder, a different rear sight, and a sling warped around it like the Stakeout from the first game is available. Named the "R-870 MCS" in game.
Saiga 12S
The Saiga 12S is available from the beginning for 2025 missions. Modeled with a left-handed ejection port/bolt handle.
SPAS-12
The SPAS-12 is returning from the first Black Ops, incorrectly used by the Panamanian Defense Force during the raid in "Time And Fate". Manuel Noriega and Raul Menendez both use it in the 1980s missions. Unlike the previous game, the stock has been removed in the first person view,in the third person it has a folded stock though the version used by Menendez at the end of the Cold War mission arc has a full, unfolded stock.
Assault Rifles
AK Variant
Starting from the beginning of the game, an AK is available. The proportions of the AK's magazine and lack of flash hider seem to imply it's a same WASR-2 inspired conglomerate as is the one in the first game
AN-94
The AN-94 assault rifle is used by PMC troops and Menendez's forces, Russia seemingly having decided to export the high-tech assault rifle by 2025. The weapon features a correct recoiling barrel and fast burst mode, and features a rail-top receiver with raised iron sights, though it still retains the original, now-useless rear sight.
DSA SA58 Para Tactical Carbine
The DSA SA58 Para Tactical Carbine is available as the "FAL OSW" for the 2025 missions.
FN FAL "G Series"
A G Series FN FAL returns from the first Black Ops, this time as a fully-automatic battle rifle. Unlocked immediately in single-player for your first 80s mission, and can be selected for the 2025 missions.
FN SCAR-L
The SCAR-L with drum magazine is one of the game's light machine guns. It is incorrectly listed as the "HAMR", which was a light machine gun version of the rifle.

FN SCAR-H
An FN SCAR-H is available for the 2025 missions and appears to be one of the standard rifles on the United States military. The body of the weapon is somewhat too thin and not bulky enough for a SCAR-H. It holds 30 rounds in its 20-round magazine, or 40 if the invisible "Extended Clip" is chosen.
Heckler & Koch HK416
The HK416 is incorrectly listed as the "M27", which is the designation for the automatic rifle version used by the USMC.
Heckler & Koch XM8
Multiple soldiers in the reveal are seen wielding weapons which appear to be Heckler & Koch XM8s with short handguards and thick carrying handles seemingly based on one used by the M41A Pulse Rifle in Aliens. They use a railed carrying handle and have a railed handguard with rail covers rather than the PCAP accessory system used by the US version. In real life this configuration is used on Malaysian XM8s, though given the series' common use of airsoft weapons as references it is far more likely this was based on a rail-equipped airsoft gun (or potentially a decision made by the future US military). It has a 32 round capacity, either incorrectly or through some kind of future standard magazine. It is referred to in-game as the "M8A1", suggesting between 2005 and 2025 the rifle became standard issue for the United States military.
IMI Galil ARM
A slightly modified version of the IMI Galil ARM model from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops is available in the past levels; it no longer has a carry handle, though it still has the attachment point for one.
IWI X95 Flattop
The IWI X95 Flattop, an improved variant of the MTAR-21, appears in the game as the "MTAR".
"SMR"
A fictional bullpup battle rifle called the "SMR," resembling the Tula Saritch 308, is a common weapon among enemy soldiers in the future levels.
SIG SG556
A SIG SG 556 is available late in the singleplayer campaign. While early footage showed it called "SIG556," in the final game it is instead called the "SWAT556." It fires in three-round bursts and fully automatic if the Select Fire attachment is equipped.
"Type 25"
A fictional rifle based on the QBZ-95 (which evidenced by the form of the magazine) with a slightly modified exterior.
Colt USAF M16 (Colt Model 604)
The original M16 returns from the first game and is first available starting with the final 1980s level, "Suffer With Me."
Colt M4A1 Carbine
An M4A1 is seen in a reveal poster, but is not available in the game itself.
M14 Rifle
The M14 Rifle is set to reappear from the previous games in zombies mode, but this time with a black finish instead of wooden furniture. Once again, the in-game model has a pistol grip and bipod like the M14E2 Light Machine Gun.
AKS-74U
The AKS-74U is set to reappear from the previous games in zombies mode, still referred to as the "AK-74u" and incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. For the first time in the entire Call of Duty series, however, the magazine has a 5.45mm curvature instead of a 7.62mm one.
Sniper Rifle
FN Ballista
The FNH Ballista is a bolt-action sniper rifle that is available without a scope attachment.
SVU-AS Dragunov
The SVU-AS Dragunov with a finish similar to the SVU is available as a 2025 sniper rifle.
DSR-50
The DSR-50 is used by enemies during the first future level, though it is not actually unlocked in the loadout menu until the last one.
"XPR-50"
A semi-automatic sniper rifle likely chambered in .50 BMG. It bears a resemblance to the bolt-action .338 Barrett Model 98 Bravo, although it behaves more like the prototype version of the M98 due to its semi-automatic nature.
"Storm PSR"
The "Storm PSR" is a fictional three-barreled sniper rifle based on Metal Storm technology, with the ability to queue and fire multiple rounds at a time to penetrate surfaces. This is actually a suggested capability of the Metal Storm system since it is able to make multiple rounds hit the same point, but no weapon design like the PSR currently exists and the weapon is a work of fiction.
Machine Guns
Mk 48 Mod 1
The Mk 48 Mod 1 is available in the 2025 levels as a light machine gun.
Norinco QBB-95
A Norinco QBB-95 is available as the "QBB LSW". It has been modified with bulkier furniture, and the trigger guard of the QBZ-95.
LSAT Light Machine Gun
The LSAT Light Machine Gun is occasionally seen in the hands of US soldiers, most commonly during the new "Strike Force" missions. It appears with a digital ammunition counter much like the pulse rifle from Aliens, which is of great use while playing Hardcore multiplayer matches where the HUD is removed.
M60E3 Machine Gun
The M60E3 is available for the 1980s missions.
RPD light machine gun
The RPD is available from the beginning of the game. It is commonly seen in the 1980s levels as a mounted gun.
Launchers
FIM-92A Stinger
The FIM-92A Stinger can be unlocked on the loadout screen and is available during the mission in Afghanistan. It is very inaccurately portrayed as a dual-mode anti-tank / anti-aircraft missile launcher, with an RPG-7 iron sight placed on the folding sight. In anti-tank mode the round can be manually detonated by pressing fire again, while in anti-air mode the weapon will not fire without a lock on. When picked up, it generously comes with about 20 reloads and is meant to be used as a main weapon throughout "Old Wounds."
"FHJ-18 AA" Launcher
A fictional anti-air launcher similar in appearance to a FIM-92A Stinger is available for the 2025 missions.
Hawk MM1 grenade launcher
The Hawk MM1 grenade launcher is never found during the campaign, but is used by Jonas Savimbi during the first mission as he rides on an armored truck, and can be unlocked on the loadout screen by completing challenges.
MGL Mk 1S
The MGL Mk 1S is available as the new "War Machine" killstreak in multiplayer and is unlocked for single player by completing challenges..
Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW
The Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW from MW3 is returning and even has the same model.
RPG 7
The RPG-7 is seen in both the past and future levels, both times simply called the "RPG;" the past version is a standard launcher, while in the future it is a "futurised" version more closely resembling the Airtronic RPG-7 and fitted with a futuristic warhead. Both versions use the same pickup icon, which is a standard RPG-7.
Explosives
"Bouncing Betty"
The same fictional "Bouncing Betty" land mine from past COD games is available, now as a disc-shaped mine that floats to head height before detonating.
C4
C4 is available in multiplayer.
Fictional Grenade
The future hand grenade is a cross between a M67 hand grenade and the Mk 2 hand grenade. Strangely, this is the model used for all grenade pickups, even those in the past levels.
M18A1 Claymore
The M18A1 Claymore returns with a new paint job.
Mounted Weapons
Browning M2HB
Browning M2HBs can be seen mounted on technicals at various points during the campaign; strangely, these are the model from Modern Warfare 2 which has no belt or ammo box, and not the more detailed version seen in Modern Warfare 3.
DShK
DShK heavy machine guns can be seen mounted on Russian-made vehicles during the past levels, including Savimbi's vehicles and a series of militia patrol boats.
General Dynamics GAU-19/A
A General Dynamics GAU-19/A is available as the new "Death Machine" killstreak as a handheld Gatling gun, and can be used in the campaign by completing challenges. It is also used as the remote turret gun.
GE M134 Minigun
The same handheld M134 Minigun from the previous game returns as an unlockable for the campaign.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2
Same conglomerate of Mi-35M and Mi-24P seen in the Modern Warfare 3 appears again, this time menacing our horse riding protagonists, armed with a twin GSh-30-2 mounted on the fuselage and chin mounted Yak-B gatling gun.
Metal Storm Redback RWS
The fictional "Assault Sentry Drone" tracked UCVs mount a Metal Storm Redback RWS four-barrel repeating grenade launcher in a module on their left-hand side.
Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B
Same conglomerate of Mi-35M and Mi-24P seen in the Modern Warfare 3 appears again, this time menacing our horse riding protagonists, armed with a twin GSh-30-2 mounted on the fuselage and chin mounted Yak-B gatling gun.
Other
"Titus 6"
A fictional weapon which resists conventional classification, the Titus-6 is a combination weapon combining a three-round burst explosive flechette launcher and a fully automatic shotgun. Visually the upper barrel and stock appear to be loosely based on a Steyr AUG A3, with an underbarrel shotgun very slightly resembling an M26 MASS with the magazine slanted backwards.
