Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Official Box Art Release Date: October 25, 2019 Developer: Infinity Ward Publisher: Activision Series: Call of Duty Platforms: PC PlayStation 4 Xbox One Genre: First-Person Shooter

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, released on October 25, 2019. It is the sixteenth main series installment in the Call of Duty series. Modern Warfare is a soft reboot of the original Modern Warfare trilogy (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3), featuring a similar modern-day setting, a new version of classic MW character Captain Price (portrayed by Barry Sloane rather than Billy Murray), and similar classic Call of Duty gameplay, while telling a completely new story.

The following weapons appear in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare:

Overview

Modern Warfare features a more extensive system of weapon customization than earlier Call of Duty games, with possibilities of customizing a weapon's furniture and even caliber in addition to magazines and attachments. Perks are now considered "attachments", will take up a mod slot, and will only affect the weapon(s) they are applied to.

There are also "Blueprint" customizations, which offer pre-configured weapon setups that can sometimes also contain visual changes to their base models and attachments. Players could create their own blueprints by filling all five mod slots on a weapon and saving the configuration to the Armory, though unlike pre-made blueprints, those created by the player do not have unique part models or skins - though unique blueprints can be modified and saved at the player's discretion.

Modern Warfare features a more expansive and detailed set of weapon animations than most other titles in the series, with different reloading animations when equipped with the reload hastening perk Sleight of Hand for almost all weapons, animated fire mode switching, and a different sprint animation for the new Super Sprint ability. Player characters will often visibly retain the old magazine during a non-empty reload (an act usually skipped in Sleight of Hand reloads), and discard it during an empty reload. Players can now also reload many weapons when aiming down sights, the reload animation being the normal reload animations played at a different angle (this unusual gimmick previously appeared in a more limited form in Far Cry 3, 4, and 5).

Third person weapon animations are fully identical to first-person animations, with some minor loss of detail. Inactive weapons can be seen on the third person player model, either hanging off of a sling for primaries or in a holster for secondaries.

For what are apparently legal reasons, many weapons and equipment featured in Modern Warfare have minor cosmetic differences compared to their real life counterparts, while still sharing the general shape and appearance to the real life weapons and equipment. An example of this quirk would be the Harrier jet used in the "VTOL Jet" killstreak having square air intakes instead of round air intakes; the Heckler & Koch MP7A2 in-game is another good example of this as it also sports a differently shaped receiver and other components.

Additional trivia on weapons in Modern Warfare:

• In some multiplayer modes and singleplayer sections, the player character will be equipped with nightvision goggles, letting them see in darkness but preventing them from aiming down sights normally (for most sight options). Using the ADS key in these case will instead result in the player character tilting the gun sideways and using infrared lasers (always automatically equipped in night scenarios) to aim.
• There are two flashback missions in the campaign, where the player plays as a young Farah Karim. Weapons in these levels have special first-person animations, reflecting young Farah's lack of experience and/or fatigue from being dehydrated and starved for more than a week.
• Performing a melee attack without a Combat or Tactical Knife equipped will result in the player character bludgeoning the enemy with the current weapon. There are different melee animations for long firearms, pistols, and special weapons like the minigun.
• All guns that fire from an open bolt or have a double action trigger have a small delay before the gun actually fires; with the open bolt guns, the sound of the bolt dropping right before the actual gunshot can be heard.

Handguns

Pistols will often play a brass check animation when picked up or pulled out for the first time in a life, an animation not seen in previous Call of Duty games (which generally feature dramatic slide racks instead).

Beretta M9A3

The Beretta M9A3 was added in Season 3 as the "Renetti". It has front slide serrations, the frame is extended nearly to the end of the slide, and the gun has a frame-mounted safety somewhat similar to that of the Taurus PT92, and the first model in the Beretta 92 series. The right side of the slide is marked "MOD. MIKE 9 - CAL. 9mm Para", a nod to its real designation and the left side states "MADE IN CALIFORNIA" and "SILVERFIELD USA CORP." The initial drawing animation of the Beretta shows the user cocking the pistol's hammer.

The "Renetti" can be turned into a pseudo-Beretta 93R: the "Mk3 Burst Mod" changes the fire mode to 3-round burst (without the possibility to switch to semi-auto during gameplay) while giving the gun a ported barrel, and the "FTAC SATUS CS-3" or "CS-X" attachment gives it a shoulder stock. The latter also adds a folding front grip, but denies the use of a laser sight on the frame rail.

The "Guard One" blueprint for the "Renetti", which seems to be inspired by the "Samurai Edge" Berettas of the Resident Evil series, specifically Albert Wesker's two-tone Samurai Edge. Removing the custom wood grips reveals that the blueprint's default grips are also wood, without the black inlay or gold logo.

Beretta 93R - 9x19mm Parabellum, for comparison.

Reloading the 93R-style "Renetti" equipped with an additional "Desperado Pro Compensator", "Lightweight Trigger", and 27-round magazine. The slide gains a non-ambi fire selector that seems somewhat hard to manipulate given its size, but loses the front serrations. The barrel remains the same length, but features three cuts on the top. The trigger, which normally increases the semi-automatic pistols' rates of fire, reduces the delay between bursts as one would expect; somewhat nonsensically, however, it also somehow increases the cyclic rate of fire within each burst.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX appears as the ".50 GS". It is portrayed with the pins above the trigger guard relocated, and also has more grooves on the slide than the real Desert Eagle. It was explicitly said to be the .50 AE version in the alpha, but this was replaced in the beta with generic ".50 pistol" rounds.

The Desert Eagle has a 7-round magazine capacity by default, which can be increased to 10 and 13 rounds with magazine attachments in multiplayer. The 10-round version can also be found in singleplayer.

The default Desert Eagle has a unique ring shaped muzzle flash, which it also makes in real life.

The "Royal Decree" blueprint can be unlocked by ranking first in a Tournament for the Gunfight mode. It features a blued finish with golden engravings for all of the chrome parts on a regular .50 GS, as well as a unique model for the Rubberized Grip Tape attachment in the form of a wooden wraparound grip panel with machined finger grooves. Unlike most blueprints, changing the grip attachment does not alter the weapon model, only the texture and where camouflages are applied. Swapping out the Rubberized Grip Tapes for any other one in that category changes the grip panel from wooden to synthetic, and allows camouflages to apply to the whole weapon model instead of just the grip area.

Glock 21

The Glock 21 appears in-game as the "X16". It has a tan frame, and the slide has the appropriate ".45 Auto" markings, though the Glock logo has been replaced by that of the fictitious "XRK Texas". It is frequently used by the enemies in-game, including Russian forces.

It's one of the firearms available to Farah in the flashback mission "Captive". In this mission, Farah holds the Glock 21 with a teacup grip, showing her lack of firearm experience. However, this also occurs with the Glock that she can optionally pull out during the helicopter part of "Into the Furnace", even though she obviously acquired enough combat experience by that time.

One of the customization options is the ability to equip the gun with a Glock 41 (Gen 4 only) style slide, via the "Singuard Arms Advantage" barrel attachment, while retaining the Gen 3 frame. This is evidenced by the lack of a cut on the front top of the slide, which is present on the similar-looking Glock 34 and 35.

Glock 21 (3rd Generation) - .45 ACP

The Glock 21 in-game. The low, centered, and slightly tilted idle position is somewhat similar to the "Smart Pistol" from Titanfall, a game made by former Infinity Ward members. Equipping the shoulder stock brings the pistol back into a more usual idle pose.

Glock 18C

The "Singuard Arms Featherweight" barrel attachment turns the weapon into a Glock 18C, indicated by the fire selector, the "9x19" markings, and the compensator cuts on the front top of the slide. These elements are merely cosmetic, as neither the fire mode, caliber or muzzle climb change during gameplay. Instead, the ADS speed is increased at the cost of a lower bullet velocity.

Previewing the G18 lookalike in Gunsmith, modified with a compensator, laser, and extended mag.

"The Howler"

"The Howler" (a PS4 exclusive) and the "Impossible Task" blueprints have a modified slide and frame, with the former resembling that of a Springfield Armory XDM (also available on the default Glock 21 via the "Vanguard Elite" attachment), and the latter looking like that of a Smith & Wesson M&P.

"Urban Defiler"

The "Urban Defiler" blueprint modification has a grip, trigger guard and accessory rail very similar to those of an Arsenal Firearms Strike One, along with a custom slide. This is also the case for the "Quick Hit" and "Cherry Blossom", and the same type of frame is used on the "Pegasus", "Gemcutter", "Greenback", "Peace and Tranquility", and "Guac My World" blueprints.

Kimber Custom TLE/RL II

The Kimber Custom TLE/RL II is featured in the game, and is fitted with traditional M1911A1 style grips. It is simply referred to as "1911" in the HUD/loadout, though the right side of the slide actually has "Custom TLE RL II" markings. In the mission "Embedded", Alex starts out with a Kimber and later fits on a makeshift suppressor using an oil can for the later stealth sections of the mission. The "Riptide" blueprint added in Season 1 is fitted with a Kimber Warrior's grips, and is equipped by default with the "1911 Stalker" barrel attachment mentioned below.

This type of suppressor is also available in multiplayer, where it is just as obstructive.

"Javelina"

The unique "Javelina" is a blueprint modification available to owners of the Operator edition. It looks similar to an STI Tactical, but has an STI Costa Comp Carry style rectangular cutout on the left side of the slide. The "Corax", "Bite Strength" and "Blue Dwarf" blueprints also have this resemblance, and the "Obsidian Carat" has an identical frame, but requires the "1911 Stalker" attachment in order to match the slide as well.

SIG-Sauer P320 RX Compact

The SIG-Sauer P320 RX Compact, identified by the optic cut on the slide and the four underbarrel rail slots, appears under the fictional designation "M19". SIG-Sauer offers the M17 and the M18 variants, however they do not have an M19 model.

It has an FDE finish, and the frame is slightly longer and taller than the real weapon (thus resulting in a longer slide), being intermediate between the compact and the full-size model. It is fitted with original P320-style iron sights, and the proprietary reflex sight is removed by default, but the weapon can optionally be equipped with one of the three "mini reflex" sight options, along with other attachments. It can also be modified with a correctly proportioned slide of a full-size P320 RX via the "XRK L Super" or the "XRK V Extended" barrel attachment, while retaining the compact-style frame. The weapon is loaded with a 17-round magazine like the full-size model, and can use 21 and 32-round extended mags.

Unique black P320s are used by Kyle Garrick and the Metropolitan Police Service in the "Piccadilly" singleplayer mission. Additionally, the P320 chambered in 150 grain .40 S&W is a personal favorite of Captain Price, as prepared for him by Nikolai in the "Old Comrades" mission. The P320s available to the player use military-appropriate 9mm instead, and are the weakest pistols damage-wise in multiplayer as a result. The Season 2 Operator Ghost carries an unusable black P320 in a chest holster.

All executions which involve a pistol feature the Operator using a no-attachments P320, and not the player's equipped pistol (if any). Due to a bug, this execution-only P320 can be used when climbing ladders, however this reveals that the execution P320 is actually an M1911 in all ways except its 3D model (magazine capacity, damage, rate of fire, sound effects, and even ADS position as the sights aren't lined up, etc).

".357"

The ".357" is a hybrid between the Colt Anaconda and the Smith & Wesson Model 581. The front sight and the cylinder release latch are from the Smith & Wesson, while the barrel and rear sight are from the Anaconda. The frame also has three pins arranged in the same manner as on the Anaconda. The trigger guard is that of a Colt Python, and the default grips appear to be loosely based on Parchmayr Decelerator grips. Customization options include short-range scopes, triggers, grips with integrated stocks, and different lengths of barrel. It can also be loaded with .38 snake shot shells, though the game itself can't seem to make up its mind about this, as the shells are referred to as both "snake shot" and "buckshot" in Gunsmith.

The game files refer the revolver to as "cpapa"; given that most filenames of this game allude to real weapon names by using the NATO phonetic alphabet, it is possible that "CP" in this case stands for "Colt Python", which is indeed chambered in .357 Magnum. In contradiction to the in-game name and caliber, a Russian soldier is heard calling it a .44 caliber revolver during the "Hometown" flashback mission in the campaign, which intentionally or not coincides with its Anaconda influences. The revolver is also the weapon of choice of General Barkov, who wields it during certain cutscenes.

By default, the "universal" revolver reloading technique is used and done with the right hand; with the grip stocks attached, the revolver is reloaded with the left hand instead; with Sleight of Hand, the FBI reload technique is used. During an interrogation scene in the campaign, the player is given loose rounds for the revolver, and a special round-by-round reload animation is played. The initial draw animation of the revolver shows a quick check of the cylinder.

The .357 cannot be suppressed in multiplayer, which reflects the fact that the design of the revolver makes it impossible to be suppressed with a muzzle-mounted suppressor. However, in Singleplayer and Special Ops, the revolver can be suppressed; in singleplayer, the hidden .357 found in "Embedded" can be suppressed with oil filters picked up in the level, and the player's own revolvers can be fitted with suppressors found in the Special Ops level Operation Crosswind.

On launch, the .357 erroneously showed a spent casing flying backwards towards the player with each shot. This has since been patched out.

The revolver as seen in one of the trailers. Here, it is fitted with the ".357 Long" barrel attachment, which changes the frankenbarrel from the default 6" length to 8" Anaconda length. Note the pins from the Anaconda, and the trigger guard from the Python. The end of the muzzle is clearly based on the Anaconda; however, the front sight and the lack of ventilated-rib point to Model 581 influence.

The hidden revolver found in "Embedded", fitted with an oil filter suppressor, which sounds about as silly as it appears.

But as with any other weapon with this type of suppressor on, you might as well forget about aiming. There are reflex sights found later on which alleviate this somewhat, but even they are still placed far too low to clear the metal cans and provide unobstructed view.

The .357 uses a different set of animations in the level "Hometown". As the user is a very young Farah Karim, who up until then has barely wielded any firearm, her controls are clumsy and wobbly, as evident by her grip.

Notably, however, she uses it in single-action mode, as the double-action trigger is likely too heavy for a small child with no training to reliably pull, and thumbs the hammer after each shot as a result.

Young Farah lining up a shot with her revolver, or tries to, at any rate. As expected for an inexperienced child, she doesn't align the sights properly and her grip is weak, so the gun wobbles all over the place and makes the objective of shooting down the two Russians in the area a bit tough, though it is entirely possible to kill both with one shot if the player is remotely skilled, which also unlocks an achievement.

Reloading the .357 as Farah is largely the same as any adult character would, only with a lot more fiddling around, and with a left hand technique as opposed to the universal reload normally used on this weapon. As with the Taurus Raging Bull in Call of Duty: Ghosts, the revolver in this sequence is erroneously shown as being reloadable with the hammer cocked.

"XRK .357"

The "XRK .357" blueprint modification is a custom black revolver with integral underbarrel rails featured in the "XRK" pack. It appears to be based on the Smith & Wesson Model 327 Performance Center M&P R8. Equipping the "Silverfield Ordnance .357" barrel attachment of the standard .357 also gives it a barrel similar to the R8.

The FN P90 TR is available in the game. The "FORGE TAC Retribution" barrel attachment adds an extended barrel and a large assembly to the front of the P90.

Owing to its unique magazine design, the P90 cannot remain in ADS mode while reloading.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 appears simply as the "MP5", and is fitted with a top rail. By default, the weapon has a Navy trigger group and an unusable Surefire 628 flashlight-equipped handguard. In multiplayer, the handguard can be changed with attachments: using foregrips or muzzle-mounted suppressors replaces the flashlight handguard with the standard "tropical" wide handguard with an added bottom rail. The barrel attachments "FSS Light" and "Monolithic Integral Suppressor" give the MP5 a handguard with rails on the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions (the latter also adds an integral suppressor).

In addition, a version with an S-E-F trigger group and an M-LOK style handguard can be found in the campaign. All blueprint variants in multiplayer have SEF trigger packs, and many of them also have the M-LOK handguard. The "Point Blank" variant lacks a scope mount by default.

The stock is extended by default, but equipping the "FTAC collapsible" stock attachment retracts it. Some optic attachments remove the iron sights, while others don't. Laser attachments are mounted in a laser mount added in front of the ejection port when they're used.

The "FSS Mini" barrel attachment gives it a barrel and handguard combo similar to (but longer than) that of an SP89, and changes the HUD name to "MP5K". The SP89-like handguard features an underbarrel rail, which is by default fitted with a handstop that is removed when a suppressor or a foregrip is used.

Using the "Burst Fire" perk gives the MP5 a three-round burst firing mode like that of the MP5A5. It doesn't change the weapon model, however, and also replaces the default full-auto option.

Heckler & Koch MP7A2

A black Heckler & Koch MP7A2 appears as the "MP7". It is modeled a bit differently than the regular MP7 design, as seen with the iron sights, charging handle, shape of the rear of the receiver, and side folding stock. The MP7 has 50-round and 60-round extended magazine attachment options, both of which are fictional square drums, and appears to be inspired by the ProMag 5.56 65rd drum magazine.

IMI Uzi

The full-sized IMI Uzi is featured in the game, and has an accurately slow rate of fire compared to its depictions in the Black Ops series. Its grip and handguard are depicted with fictional stippled texture instead of the proper striped pattern. The two bulges above the fire selector also have fictional shapes. The iron sights are angular and have two circular cutouts similarly to the Micro Uzi.

Unlike previous games, the Uzi in Modern Warfare is correctly depicted as firing from an open bolt. During an empty reload, the magazines are swapped, the non-reciprocating charging handle is pulled and the bolt is locked in the rearward position.

The "16.5" Factory Carbine" barrel attachment gives it a longer barrel, but despite the name, it isn't as long as that of an actual Uzi Carbine. A February 2020 update added two new attachments; one of them is an Uzi Carbine-like barrel fitted with a shroud, which was called "FSS Orion", but was later renamed to "FSS Carbine Pro". The other one gives the ability to use .41 AE ammunition; these were initially loaded in 25-round magazines, but a later patch increased the capacity to 32 rounds like the standard 9mm ammo.

The Uzi is commonly used by the Al-Qatala terrorists in the campaign, as well as by the Urzikstani militia. Curiously enough, Russian forces also wield the Uzi in the mission "Embedded".

An operator wields the Uzi in-game and admires the patriotic garage doors.

Aiming down the sights. When optics are equipped, the Uzi gains a Picatinny rail scope mount, mounted in front of the rear sight. Likewise, using underbarrel attachments will give the Uzi a piece of underbarrel rail. Lasers are mounted on a dedicated mount added to the right side of the receiver when they're used, just behind the front sight.

Reloading the Uzi with a fistful of magazines.

Pulling the bolt back on an empty reload. Sleight of Hand reloads are mostly the same as the normal reloads (just faster), expect that on a normal empty reload, the user gives the new loaded magazine an extra smack on the bottom before pulling the bolt, which is omitted in the Sleight of Hand empty reoad. An alternate bolt pull animation with the hand to the side instead of the top is used when some attachments are equipped.

Giving the brick wall a what-for with the Uzi's collapsible stock.

The "Freight Train" .41 AE Uzi, which has a barrel shroud and a railed forend.

"Blowback"

The "Blowback" blueprint modification gives it the pistol grip, trigger guard and overall aesthetic of the Uzi Pro Pistol (albeit still in the form factor of the original full-size Uzi) while retaining the size and folding stock from the standard Uzi. The default Micro Uzi sights are replaced with flip up sights mounted onto short rails. The blueprint also comes with what looks like Vortex Venom red dot mounted on an Armson USA Uzi rail mount.

The "Speed Run" blueprint is very similar, but features a different setup of default attachments, including "no stock".

The "Blowback" Uzi blueprint, which gives it an Uzi Pro pistol stylized receiver, pistol grip and trigger guard. The standard Uzi folding stock also gets a "techno futuristic" makeover.

LWRC SMG-45

The LWRC SMG-45 was added in Season 2 as the "Striker 45". The in-game model has a shorter barrel and handguard than the real weapon, along with a H&K UMP-like fire control group. By default, it is fitted with a pistol brace; there are some stock customization options, though none of them have the appearance of the real SMG/carbine version (the closest match would be the UMP-like stock seen on the "Undertaker" blueprint mentioned below). It comes with 25-round .45 ACP magazines by default; these can be changed to 45-round magazines or 12-round magazines with hollow point rounds, the latter also changing the fire mode from automatic to two-round burst.

Heckler & Koch UMP45

The "Undertaker" variant of the SMG-45 resembles the Heckler & Koch UMP45, noted by the rear sight, the smoother upper receiver, the magwell, and the similarly shaped stock, in addition to the already present UMP selector switch. Extended barrels and a stock customization also allow for Heckler & Koch USC lookalikes. The Undertaker/UMP's trademarks (unique to the UMP) have undergone several changes through various patches. The Battlepass background image shows "MODEL 45", but by the time the gun/blueprint was in the game this had been changed to "FTX-45"; as of the Warzone patch this was been changed again to "STRIKER 45", making its unique trademarks nonexistent.

Heckler & Koch UMP45 with RIS rail - .45 ACP

The UMP proper as seen in the Undertaker's preview. It still has the ambidextrous bolt release of the SMG-45, a feature the real UMP lacks. The front sight post is also replaced by that segment of RIS rail; as animations are shared with the LWRC, the UMP uses a non standard raised rear sight (folded down here) and Troy Fixed HK style non-folding front sight post.

A USC-like build in the Gunsmith. The short magazine is a "12-round Hollow Point" magazine that increases the damage and also converts the full-auto setting into a two-round burst.

Reloading via telekinesis - a weird bug occured when setting the weapon to semi-auto, where the reload animations defaulted to the regular-sized magazine. This was rectified in a later patch.

PP-19 Bizon-2

The PP-19 Bizon-2 is featured in the game. It uses a 64-round helical magazine by default, and can also use a fictional 84-round magazine.

The "Chuckwalla" Bizon. Some blueprints give the PP-19 a new makeover more inline with the production AK-12 series, including the pistol grip and a full length top rail. A ZenitCo style charging handle knob is also added to the bolt, as well as an ambidextrous fire selector.

Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS

The Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS appears simply as the "AUG". One of the multiple customization options is the "622mm long barrel", which gives it an AUG HBAR style barrel.

The player character holds an AUG A3 9mm XS with a long barrel and EOtech EXPS2 sight. Note the properly modeled safety switch in the fire position. Despite the AUG using a progressive trigger system, the beta build of Modern Warfare 2019 erroneously used the safety as a fire selector switch. As of launch, this has been fixed.

Hadir's AUG in the 9mm variant as seen in the mission "Proxy War". Note the A2 style upper receiver and it appears to use the original 5.56 muzzle assembly.

The Legendary "Silverstar" blueprint of the AUG Para featuring gold plating and a customized stock. Note the lack of the bolt release. When using Sleight of Hand, the player will still thumb it despite it not being there.

Steyr AUG A3

The weapon can be modified to use 5.56x45mm ammunition (in 30-round mags or 60-round drums, although the 42-round HBAR magazine is conspicuously absent) and a 16 inch barrel, essentially turning it into an AUG A3 assault rifle (though the barrel looks different). The front part of the top rail remains the same as that of the 9mm XS variant.

One thing to note is that the 30-round mag looks like an AR-15 style magazine, while the 60-round drum is somewhat based on a Magpul D-60 PMAG. The real weapon requires a NATO stock conversion in order to accept such magazines, which isn't reflected on the in-game model, as it has a standard AUG A3 stock.

The "Gremlin" blueprint, Hadir's personal rifle, has a top rail similar to that of an AUG A2, as well as an A1/A2 flash hider.

Shotguns

Browning Citori 725

A Browning Citori 725 over and under shotgun with some alterations appears as the "725". The receiver was seemingly inspired by that of the Citori 725 Pro series, though the barrels lack the extended chokes seen on this version. The ribs are low like the 725 Pro Sporting, but the forend is similar to that of the 725 Pro Trap, and the stock's recoil pad is ventilated like the latter.

A unique "Hammer" variant is available to players who participated in the beta and reached at least level 10.

A player character wields a Citori 725 outfitted with a "Brownlee 32mm" magnified scope and a "Chronen Ergo Precision" adjustable stock. Although it might seem ridiculous to put a scope onto a shotgun, the 725 actually has the longest effective range out of any shotgun in the game, allowing it to practically snipe. Several nerfs have been implemented to remedy this, however it still remains deadly at such ranges a shotgun shouldn't be.

A promotional image of the "Hammer" pre-customized variant of the 725, given as a bonus to beta participants. It is customized with a pistol grip, angled foregrip, holographic sight, and suppressed short barrels.

Fostech Origin-12

The Fostech Origin-12 is featured in the game, and comes with a side-mounted foregrip by default. It normally has a 9.75 inch barrel, while the "FORGE TAC Impaler" attachment gives it an 18.5 inch barrel.

Some blueprints of the Fostech give it cosmetically different parts, such as the "Stealth Action" show here.

Fostech Origin-12 SBV

The "FORGE TAC Dart" attachment consists of a stabilizing arm brace, turning the weapon into an Origin-12 SBV. The in-game accessory is based on a SIGTac SB15 brace, and is inaccurately described as a stock, though this somewhat fits with the fact that the player character simply uses it as a traditional stock without making use of the brace's main purpose, nevermind the fact that the straps are missing.

Knight's Armament Masterkey

The Knight's Armament Masterkey is an available underbarrel attachment for most assault rifles. It is referred to as the "12 Gauge Deputy" and incorrectly fires in semi-automatic mode; the pump mechanism is entirely absent in-game, replaced by a static forend. Due to it lacking any sort of reloading animations, it can achieve an inaccurate eight-round capacity through resupplying or using the "fully loaded" perk. By default, it previously spawned with a technically accurate four rounds, but this was increased to six rounds in a February 2020 patch; resupplying automatically refills the magazine tube to eight.

Tavor/SG 552 Underbarel Shotgun

The version available to the post-release Tavor CTAR-21 and SIG SG 552 uses a different model. It appears to be a fictionalized hybrid between the KAC Masterkey and the M26 MASS. It is also fitted with what appears to be a miniature heat shield and a forend which resembles the grip from the GP underbarrel grenade launchers.

M26 MASS

The M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System was added to the game in the Season 2. It is referred to as the "VLK Rogue" in the loadout menu/HUD, but the markings on the model call it the "Mike 2-6", an obvious reference to its real name. Using some of the attachments will add a large rail interface system to the front of the M26 MASS.

An update in April 2020 added the ability to use Dragon's Breath ammunition.

Remington 870 MCS

The Remington 870 MCS appears, referred to as the "Model 680". Available attachments include a magazine tube extension, along with different barrel lengths, forends and stocks. In contrast to shell-by-shell loading shotguns from previous games, the reloading process finally involves pumping the handle only when the weapon was empty. This is the first game in the series since Call of Duty 3 to correctly depict this procedure.

A unique "1337 Skeet" variant is exclusively available to owners of the Operator edition, which features a synthetic version of the traditional "Lockwood Precision Series" stock. The same stock is also available on the "Hush" variant unlocked upon reaching the officer ranks (level 57).

A March 2020 update adds Dragon's Breath rounds as an ammo option alongside Slugs, as well as conversion kits to use 6-round detachable box magazines for all available ammo types.

Standard Manufacturing DP-12

The Standard Manufacturing DP-12 is featured in the game. In the campaign, it only appears in the final level "Into the Furnace", under the name "DP-12 Incendiary", and firing self-explanatory incendiary shells. In multiplayer, it is named "R9-0 Shotgun" instead, and can fire either buckshot or slug rounds. It is equipped with Magpul MBUS PRO Steel Sights by default. The reloading animation correctly shows both magazine tubes being loaded, unlike some similar shotguns from previous Call of Duty games.

Rifles & Carbines

AK-47

The AK-47 appears in the game, and is modeled with a proper milled dust cover, unlike past titles in the series. The AK-47 features a large assortment of attachments, allowing all sorts of configurations to be made. Some of the more notable ones available in the multiplayer Gunsmith are the following:

• Barrel options consist of the "Spetsnaz Elite", a railed handguard based on Midwest Industries AK Gen 2 M-LOK; “23.0" RPK Barrel”, an RPK-style barrel and bipod (but combined with the original AK-47's gas tube); “8.1" Compact Barrel”, a compact carbine barrel and handguard styled after the AKS-74U (complete with the muzzle device by default), but further shortened to the point where it resembles a "Beta Spetsnaz" airsoft AKS-74U; and the “23" Romanian” barrel, which is identical to the “23.0" RPK Barrel” but with the addition of a PM md. 63 style foregrip.
• Stock options consist of the "Field LMG Stock", a PKM-style stock; "Skeleton Stock", an AKS-74 folding stock; "No Stock", which replaces the buttstock with what seems to be an unused stock adapter; "FSS Close Quarters Stock", an M4-type telescoping stock mounted on a stock adapter; and "FORGE TAC Ultralight", a lightweight stock inspired by Fortis LA stock.
• Magazine options are: a 40-round extended magazine, a 75-round drum mag, and a 30-round 5.45x39mm magazine.

Using optic attachments adds a side-mounted Picatinny scope rail, using some of the underbarrel attachments replace the default wooden lower handguard with a synthetic railed one, and laser attachments are attached to the right side of the barrel right under the gas block.

Russian soldiers are seen wielding AK-47s during the flashback missions taking place in 1999 and 2009, at a time where the Russian armed forces have long switched to the AK-74/AK-74M. In the rest of the campaign set in 2019, they more sensibly use the so-called "AK-12" mentioned below.

The AK-47 in the official multiplayer trailer, equipped with what appears to be the "Flash Guard" attachment which is based on the Surefire SOCOM 3-Prong Flash Hider. However, in the final game the AK-47 uses a different flash guard.

AK-74

The AK-47 can be modified to use 5.45x39mm ammunition. In the singleplayer campaign, the weapon can be found in a configuration that effectively turns it into an AK-74 (while retaining the AK-47 name). The telltale signs are the stamped receiver, ribbed dust cover, wooden handguard with palm swell, pistol grip, gas block, gas tube, front sight block, and muzzle brake. There is a white tape wrapped around the barrel/muzzle brake assembly. The AK-74 configuration can also be achieved in multiplayer, by equipping the appropriate attachments on the "Revolution" blueprint, though it has a different muzzle device.

There is a version used by Russian Army soldiers in the campaign, incorrectly called an "AK-12" (although it does have the AK-12's proper pistol grip). It has the AK-74's 5.45mm magazine, stamped receiver and ribbed cover, but retains the AK-47's gas tube and barrel assembly. It is also equipped with the "Spetsnaz Elite" handguard and the "FORGE TAC Ultralight" stock. This "AK-12" configuration also has different receiver markings from the aforementioned version.

Of note is that the in-game AKs with with stamped receivers lack the additional pin for the auto sear, above the paddle magazine release (even though the base milled AK correctly has it); it is actually needed in order to fire in fully-automatic mode. Additionally, these blueprints have Romanian selector markings, but the R (semi-auto) and A (full-auto) marks are reversed, and thus the selector is shown with "S-R-A" markings as opposed to the appropriate "S-A-R".

On the base AK-47 model, the the 5.45mm modification changes the magazine to that of an AK-74 without altering the rest of the gun's appearance. During the alpha, the weapon in this configuration was referred to as an "AKS-74u" in the multiplayer HUD, even if it weren't modified to Krinkov length as mentioned below. This was changed in the final game, with the name remaining "AK-47".

An "AK-12" on the ground. Note that it does have the correct pistol grip of the AK-12/15. In contrast to the in-game model, the HUD icon depicts it with a 7.62mm magazine and a milled receiver.

East German MPi-AKS-74N - 5.45x39mm

Equipping the 5.45mm attachment on the "Revolution" blueprint makes it resemble an MPi-AKS-74N.

AKM

In the campaign, the AK-47 can be found with the aforementioned AK-74 parts, while retaining the 7.62x39mm chambering; this makes it resemble an AKM, though it still has the AK-74's peculiar front sight block and 90 degree gas block. Farah Karim uses this setup as her main weapon of choice, fitted with a German MPi-KMS-72 style folding stock, along with a white tape wrapped around the magazine. This specific configuration was made available post-release via the "Revolution" blueprint in multiplayer.

The "Steel Curtain" blueprint modification available at launch uses the aforementioned "AK-12" model (but with a 7.62x39mm magazine by default). It has the same receiver and pistol grip (combined with an original AK-47's barrel), and is fitted with the same railed handguard, along with an "FSS Close Quarters Stock" attachment. The later two can be removed to give the AK its original stock and handguard. The stamped receiver/original AK barrel combination also applies to the "Black Bear", "Sand Sweeper", "War Saw" and "Dusk Ripper" blueprints added post-release, the latter also having an MPi-KMS-72 style stock.

AKM - 7.62x39mm

Equipping the "Operator Foregrip" (modelled on the TangoDown Stubby vertical grip) switches the operator's grip from a conventional hold on the handguard to a C-clamp grip. This does not apply to other foregrips available in game.

A closeup of the AKM receiver of the "Steel Curtain" blueprint AK. Note the serial number markings bizarrely using the Latin letters "SN" on a Russian weapon. "ДЛЯ ВОЕННОГО ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ" means "FOR MILITARY USE" and is likely inspired by the "RESTRICTED MILITARY/GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT/EXPORT USE ONLY" markings found on some US government AR receivers. The "ВЛК" inscription under the rear sight is Russian for "VLK", a fictional Russian weapon manufacturer also found on other Russian weapons in the game; the name is also a shortened form for "wolf" in Russian (волк , volk), corresponding to their wolf head logo.

The "Steel Curtain" AK with some different attachments, including the triangular folding stock and a muzzle brake. Note how it still has the older AK-47's barrel assembly.

The reveal trailer showed Farah managing to fire her AK in the air with the safety on, and with the bolt not moving. Both errors seem to have been corrected: the previous screenshot shows the fire selector in full-auto position, and Infinity Ward stated that the bolt issue has been fixed for the game's launch. However, the snippet of this scene in the game's main menu (seen when hovering over the Campaign button) still has the errors.

The "Revolution" AK. It features a different muzzle device from Farah's, which has a regular AK-74 muzzle brake.

An RPK-like build with the bipod deployed, in Gunsmith. A similar build was made available post-release as a blueprint called "RPK" (with darker wood furniture), although it retains the standard AK-47's milled receiver (as well as its gas tube shown here).

The AK with the “23" Romanian” barrel assembly and a side folding stock. The 40-round extended magazine is equipped, which prior to Season 3 was based off of a polymer ISD Bulgaria "Polymaggs" 7.62x39mm magazine. The current 40 round magazine model is based on the ISD Bulgaria slab side polymer magazine, while the original model is still used by the Steel Curtain blueprint. Both are still the same length as regular 30-round magazines.

Arsenal AR-M1

At the opposite end of the spectrum (when compared to the "Steel Curtain" and other similar blueprints), there are some AKs in the campaign found with an AK-74 style gas block, gas tube and front sight, while retaining the original AK-47 milled receiver. This configuration resembles the Bulgarian Arsenal AR-M1.

Diseños Casanave SC-2026C

The “8.1" compact barrel” gives the AK-47 a compact carbine barrel and handguard. The combination of this attachment with the "muzzle brake" and the "FSS Close Quarters Stock" resembles the Peruvian SC-2026C.

Arsenal SAM7K pistol - 7.62x39mm

When no muzzle attachment is selected, the “8.1" compact barrel” has a Krinkov muzzle. The "no stock" attachment on this compact carbine gives it an appearance reminiscent of the Arsenal SAM7K. Note that the carbine handguard appears to be custom made as it combines elements from regular and AKS-74U handguards and generally resembles custom built "AK pistols".

The stamped-receiver AK-74 in singleplayer can be found modified with the “8.1" Compact Barrel” as well as the "Skeleton Stock", creating a reasonable approximation of the AKS-74U. This setup is also found on the version referred to as "AK-12", and can be achieved in multiplayer by equipping the appropriate attachments on the blueprints that have stamped receivers. The "Upper Hand" and "Duly Devoted" blueprints have an AKS-74U configuration by default, the former with no stock.

Reloading to get a good view of the receiver. Note the unique black handguards on these versions found in the story.

The shorty AKS-74U modification on the floor, in this case fitted with the "FORGE TAC Ultralight" stock which is inspired by Fortis LA stock.

Gunsmith view of an AKS-74U made from the "Steel Curtain". Because there are no attachments that modify the standard AK leaf sight in Modern Warfare, all of the AKS-74U approximations have to use it as opposed to a real AKS-74U's flip-up rear sight (similar to the Metro games).

An image of an actual AKS-74U (with the proper folding stock hardware at the back of the receiver and flip-up rear sight) can be seen in the background of unlockable emblems from Season 3.

AKMSU

The combination of either of the stamped-receiver blueprints with the “8.1" Compact Barrel” and "Skeleton Stock" attachments (with the 7.62mm chambering retained) turns the gun into an approximation of the AKMSU.

AKMSU - 7.62x39mm

The "Steel Curtain" blueprint set up to resemble the AKMSU with the carbine barrel, triangle skeleton stock and an AK-12-like pistol grip. Note the full-size AK rear sight that has been retained.

ASh-12.7

The ASh-12.7 prototype appears as the "Oden", likely an alternative reading of "Wōden", the Old English rendition of the name of the Nordic god Odin. Oddly enough, three additional "factory" barrel lengths are available to the "Oden", with lengths ranging from 420 to 810mm, despite the ASh-12.7 having no such option in reality, it being deliberately designed with a short barrel to facilitate use in close quarters. The markings indicate that it is manufactured by VLK like the other Russian weapons.

It holds 20 rounds in a magazine modeled after a 10-rounder, and has extended mags options of 25 and 30 rounds (the latter in a 20-round magazine). The ASh-12 also uses the M203 as its underbarrel launcher rather than than the Russian GP-25.

A stylized Oden as seen with the "Carbon Bear" blueprint, which gives it a forend somewhat similar to the integrally-suppressed Desert Tech MDR. The "Black Asp", "Ground Splitter", and "Krampus" blueprints also use the alternate chassis. An unused, small reciprocating charging handle is also present on the left side.

Colt Model 933

The Colt Model 933 appears, inaccurately referred to as the longer-barreled M4A1. By default, it is equipped with a Daniel Defense RIS II handguard, Knight's Armament Company Micro sights, windowed Magpul PMAG, VLTOR BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 charging handle and Magpul ASAP ambi sling mount. Similarly to the Modern Warfare 2 M4A1, the in-game rifle has some parts tan and the rest black. The base Model 933 in-game has a tan BCM B5 Enhanced SOPMOD buttstock, tan A2 pistol grip, tan Magpul Gen 3 windowed PMAG, a single tan KAC rail cover and partially tan KAC sights.

It has various customization options, including optics, barrel lengths, and stocks, along with the ability to mount an LMT M203 grenade launcher. It can also be converted to use .458 SOCOM ammunition. The "no stock" attachment replaces the collapsible stock with an AR pistol receiver extension. The "Burst" perk changes the full-auto mode to 3-round burst (like a Colt Model 935), though the in-game model still has full-auto selector markings. The weapon gains an M4A1/M16A4's carrying handle with the "OG" blueprint, which is unlocked upon reaching maximum rank in multiplayer (level 156) prior to the start of the first official season.

The weapon's model features some of the best details in the entire Call of Duty series, with articulating bolt releases, magazine releases, and selector levers. Despite this, the pin for the auto sear on the lower receiver is absent, which would in reality prevent the rifle from firing in full-auto or burst modes. The Create-a-Class menu incorrectly describes the weapon as a battle rifle.

Mk 18 Mod 0

The “FSS 11.5" Commando” barrel attachment turns the weapon into a Mk 18 Mod 0, albeit with a slightly shorter barrel. The attachment's name is misleading, considering that the Mk 18 has a 10.5" barrel. The front sight used is based on ARMS #41 folding front sight that maintains the same shape and silhouette as a regular A2 standard front sight base when in use, but folds down when optics are equipped.

Gunsmith preview of a Mk 18 Mod 0. Note the KAC RAS inspired handguard which once again is depicted with incorrect six vents instead of the proper seven, like in Call of Duty 4.

M16A3

The weapon can be fitted with the fixed buttstock of an M16. When combined with the "Corvus Custom Marksman" or the "Stock M16 Grenadier" barrel attachment (the latter having an M203 heat shield), this makes it resemble an M16A3 (Colt Model 901). However, the barrel is shown with an M203 groove ahead of the front sight, like an M4 carbine. Both customization options use the same folding front sight as the Mk 18 Mod 0 described above.

Just like the base weapon, it can be fitted with a 3-round burst customization (like an M16A4), while visually retaining the full-auto selector markings. The "OG" Weapon Blueprint adds a slightly modified carry handle along with the "Stock M16 Grenadier" barrel and M16 stock. "The Breakup" and "Jumping Spider" blueprints also add the carry handle, but with different paint schemes and attachments. The "Kingly Splendor" blueprint features STANAG magazines.

Colt 9mm SMG

The weapon can be modified to use 9x19mm ammunition. Coupled with the “FSS 11.5" Commando” attachment, this makes it resemble a Colt 9mm SMG, though the receiver remains unchanged from the base Colt Model 933 (except for the ejection port).

Note how the rest of the receiver is completely unchanged, retaining the base weapon's forward assist, case deflector, and bolt carrier group, the latter indicated by the gas vent holes on the BCG. 9mm AR-15 variants use either straight blowback or delayed blowback for operation, neither of which have use for vent holes and most have none.

The "Oscar Mike" blueprint of the R0991, which features a unique lower receiver. Note how the conversion uses its own unique magazines rather than sharing the same ones from the Uzi.

"XRK M4"

The "XRK M4" blueprint modification is available in the XRK Weapons Pack for those who purchase the game digitally. It consists of a receiver based on Radian Weapons receiver with raised area surrounding the magazine catch like the standard M4 or the Noveske N4 (though the left side of the upper resembles Mega Arms MATEN or Cross Machine Tools upper plus grooves from JP Enterprises CTR-02), a fictional quad rail handguard loosely based on CMMG handguards, a stock based on Magpul ACS, and a pistol grip based on Magpul K2/K2+ depicted without its beavertail. It also has a fictional extended bolt catch release lever which is a hybrid between Phase 5 Extended Bolt Release V2 and Parker Mountain Machine Oversized Bolt Catch Paddle.

It is equipped with magazines based on Magpul PMAGs, a laser pointer inspired by the AN/PEQ-15, and an angled foregrip based on the Magpul AFG.

Note the five grooves on the upper, which correspond to the JP Enterprises PSC-12 number-wise, and the JP Enterprises CTR-02 location-wise. Also note the raised area around the magazine catch like the M4 or the Noveske N4. On this blueprint (and on some other ones like the "Zip Tie"), the appropriate "Semi" marking is used, but the "Safe" and "Auto" markings are reversed, with the fire selector pointing towards the user but somehow set to "safe".

Curiously enough, black versions of the "XRK M4" can be found from Marines in the single player campaign.

Getting a good view of the carbine.

Kyle finishes a reload for a close-up view. Note that this version still feeds from the default tan windowed PMags.

Affixing the XRK M4 with the "FSS 14.5" Tac Lite" barrel assembly gives it a new unique forend, with what seems to be more of a 16" barrel. This has been removed as of the Season 2 battlepass, and the XRK now uses the standard "FSS 14.5 Tac Lite" handguard.

M4A1 Carbine

The "Task Force" blueprint added in March 2020 is modeled after an actual M4A1. It largely resembles the weapon seen in Modern Warfare 2, though it is depicted with a KAC RAS with incorrect six vents instead of MW2's A.R.M.S. #50C-TR S.I.R. It is equipped with the same A.R.M.S. #40L/PRI folding sights setup as in MW2 complete with a KAC foregrip. The charging handle appears to be inspired by Aero Precision Charging Handle and BCM Gunfighter.

Prior to this, an M4A1 carbine was seen in a piece of promotional artwork. The deluxe preorder bonuses include a stylized, animated playercard based on the image of Captain MacMillan armed with a suppressed M4 from an original promotional screenshot of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

M4A1 - 5.56x45mm NATO

The "Task Force" blueprint. Note that instead of the original MW2 M4A1 A.R.M.S. S.I.R. rail system, this version has a KAC RAS with the typical Call of Duty six vent treatment, and has a non-standard charging handle like the other "M4A1" variants. Also note that the rear sight is more closely modeled after the real thing in comparison to the pseudo A.R.M.S. #40L seen on the "M13".

FAMAS F1

The FAMAS F1 is featured in the game, and fires in three-round bursts by default, like in Modern Warfare 2. It was referred to as "FR .556" in early revealed gameplay footage, suggesting an extremely incorrect caliber, but this was later corrected to "FR 5.56". Like the Colt Model 933, it is incorrectly described as a battle rifle in the Create-a-Class menu.

It is fitted with the PGMP rail mounting system, which are fitted with MFI Sig MAD iron sights by default. It also has an Advanced Armament Blackout Muzzle Brake by default. Strangely, it also seems to have the barrel and gas block of a Remington ACR, despite the FAMAS not even being gas-operated.

The FAMAS has no side and underbarrel rails by default, which are fitted when relevant attachments are used. Like in the previous games, the F1 by default uses 25-round magazines with 30-round capacities. Alternate magazines options include 50-round mags and 60-round mags. The G2 variant would be more appropriate since it is STANAG-compatible with those mags.

In the campaign, the FAMAS is used by both the friendly Urzikstani milita and by enemy Al-Qatala forces. The latter also occasionally wield FAMASes in the Spec Ops mode.

FN FAL

The FN FAL is available in-game. By default, it is fitted with an 18" barrel like the Paratrooper variant. It can be equipped with a longer barrel (albeit slightly shorter that the standard FAL's 21") via the "XRK Marksman" or the inaccurately named “18.0" Ultralight” barrel attachment. It can also be modified with a DSA SA58's 16" barrel with the (also inaccurately named) “13.0" OSW Para” attachment. The front part of the gas block is inaccurately depicted in AK style.

It is limited to semi-automatic fire by default, but can be changed to fire in incorrect three-round bursts with the "Burst" weapon perk.

The "Aristocrat" blueprint can be unlocked after purchasing "The Royal Armory II" pack. It features a wooden pistol grip, stock and handguard. The controls and optic mount are gilded. The dustcover is case hardened, and "Royal Armory" is inscripted on both sides. The FAL is commonly used by Al-Qatala militants in the singleplayer campaign and in the Spec Ops mode.

FN SCAR-H

The SCAR-H appears as the "FN Scar 17". During the beta, it was incorrectly called "FN Scar 17s", which referred to the civilian SCAR 17S. In an ironic reversal of the descriptions of the Colt Model 933 and the FAMAS, the SCAR-H is described as an assault rifle in the Create-a-Class. Despite having the "FN" moniker in its name, the markings identify the fictional manufacturer "Forge Tac Arms USA" as the weapon's maker instead. "The Traitor" blueprint gives it an ACR inspired stock and a rail extension loosely based on Midway Industries SCAR rail extension.

The weapon is also seen in the "Poster" calling card in multiplayer.

Third Generation FN SCAR-H STD - 7.62x51mm NATO

Using the SCAR's fire selector.

The tactical reload; like the FAL, the player character grabs both magazines with one hand while swapping them. There are several interesting things to note here:
* Note that like the "M4A1", the magazine release is animated.
* Note that the elongated side rails have pushed the barrel retaining pin block further back compared to the real weapon.
* Note the vertical outdent on the magwell, which most AR-15 magwells have but is not present on the real FN SCAR.
* Note the fire selector positons, which have been rotated 45 degrees down compared to real life (this diagonal position in real life points to single-fire, but in-game it points to full-auto).
* Note the "Forge Tac Arms USA" markings underneath the rear sight.

On empty, the operator checks the empty chamber, and then tosses out the empty magazine. The right side of the barrel retaining block is absent here; it would be floating on top the ejection port otherwise.

Thumbing the bolt release on empty. With the UBGL, the user smacks the bolt release, and some variants use a more forceful smack.

"The Traitor" SCAR-H, note the ACR-like stock and the receiver vaguely resembles a CZ 805 BREN or Imperial Arms CypherX 17 replacement receiver.

FN SSR

Combining the “FORGE TAC 20.0" LB” barrel with the "XRK Obelisk Pro" stock makes the rifle resemble an FN SSR, though it remains select-fire and lacks the three-pin barrel retaining blocks.

Heckler & Koch G36

The Heckler & Koch G36 was added with the "Season One" content pack. It is fitted with an HK aluminium top rail and a short barrel, and is referred to as the "Holger-26". Almost every element of the weapon is slightly fictionalized with details that are different to real life. Most notably, the weapon lacks a magazine release paddle, and instead has an AR-15-esque ambidextrous magazine release button in place of the G36's rear magwell pin (STANAG magwell adapters for the G36 include a similar release, though it is located further forward of the pin). The bipods are also static parts of the default long handguard, and are not usable as an actual attachment in-game, making it the only LMG to lack this option.

As in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, it is ostensibly set up to pass for an MG36, hence its classification as an LMG. As a result, it loads from a fictional drum magazine (two X-Products style drums joined together in the shape of a Beta C-Mag, unlike the more lifelike C-Mag available for the in-game HK433) by default, though it can use 30-round mags with the benefit of better mobility and reload speed. The rifle features its integrated optics as attachment options, which are inspired by the ZF 3×4° dual scopes. The reflex sight is modeled after the real lower optic, while the 4x scope is modeled after the real upper optic; ironically, this reverses which is the scope and the reflex compared to reality. While the optics do include the forward carry handle element, they're mounted below the optics instead of above.

The "Necrosis" blueprint, which is a very rare example of a blueprint in a standard finish with no embellishments, features a low-profile short rail instead of the full-length G36C carry handle, as well as a rather styled handguard, different stock, and different fictionalized take on the receiver. The reciever is about the same level of fictionalized as the main/normal model, though in different areas; some parts are more authentic (upper half of the receiver, a visible-from-the-outside operating rod, a brass deflector) while other parts are more fictionalized (lower half of the reciever, the folding part of the charging handle).

The most notable trait of the "Necrosis" model is it's clearly designed to be the model used with the integrated optics, properly bridging the gap in the rails and being a carry handle, instead of being awkwardly squished directly into the G36C top rail.

Inventory preview of the fake MG36. Note that almost every detail on the weapon has been fictionalized to varying degrees. The large button to unlatch the folding stock is also missing here, so how it folds over in-universe is anyone's guess. Also note the S-E-F fire control group; while the iconic H&K bullet pictograms are more common, German military G36s do use S-E-F markings. That said, the actual positions of the selector have been reversed, with it currently physically in the safe position, while pointing to full-auto.

Idle pose of the "Holger-26". Note the chopped down front sight.

Iron sights.

Having realized the bipods are just for show and not actually usable, the Spetsnaz operator vents his anger and all of his ammo at a nearby wall, before swapping in a new X-Products/Beta C-Mag mutant 100-round drum. Note the magazine release button, the "Forge Tac" marking, and the fact that the charging handle lacks an operating rod, apparently being vertically attached directly to the bolt carrier.

Reloading from empty necessitates the additional step of racking said charging handle.

With Sleight of Hand, the operator simply dumps the magazine on the floor instead of manually taking it off, and skips an extra magazine slap that is performed in the normal reload after loading in the new magazine; the charging part remains unchanged.

A most strictly inadvisable melee animation where the operator bashes a wall with his fragile magazine.

Tugging the charging handle on an empty reload.

With Sleight of Hand, mag swap is instead changed to the operator quickly replacing one with the other, and that's somehow faster than the default tactical animation. Sleight of Hand 30-round reloads, along with the normal 30-round empty reload, are the only occasions where the left-sided mag release is actually operated. Another rarity in videogames is the use of the G36's bolt release when reloaded like this; this aspect remains surprisingly faithful to the real thing, considering how much of the gun was changed for the sake of dodging copyright.

Heckler & Koch HK433

The Heckler & Koch HK433 appears as the "Kilo 141", a reference to the original trilogy's Task Force 141. The early Beta version of the in-game model was marked with "Manufactured Under License" and "Kal. 5.56mm", the latter of which correctly reflected the German caliber markings of the real weapon. However, the retail model states that it is made in Switzerland, and has English "Cal. 5.56mm" markings. It is also marked with "Singuard Arms", a fictional weapon manufacturer.

It has an 11" barrel by default, but can be modified with longer barrels. They are stated to be 16.6" and 19.8", but the in-game models are clearly shorter than this, and appear to be 12.5" and 14.5" respectively. Aside from generic attachments, the HK433 can also be fitted with a Honey Badger-esque integral suppressor in the form of the "Singuard Arms Whisper" barrel, and a 100-round Beta C-Mag, making it the only STANAG-compatible weapon other than the fake MG36 mentioned above to accept one, strangely enough. The "Union Black" blueprint gives the weapon a telescoping stock.

With the majority of the campaign taking place in 2019, it isn't correct to see the HK433 as as standard-issue weapon, as the real gun is still in prototype stage. Plus, it anachronistically appears in the campaign level "Captive" set in 2009, used by then-Lieutenant Price, around 8 years before its real-life introduction (the Colt Canada C8 CQB or the Heckler & Koch G36CSF would be more appropriate in SAS hands). In a continuity error, Price's HK433 gains the telescoping stock of the "Union Black" blueprint in the final cutscene of "Captive", while having a normal stock in the rest of the mission. Some characters in other missions also use the HK433 with the "Union Black" stock. Some blueprints such as the "Union Black" and "Berliner" give the laser aiming modules pressure pads, attached to the handguard mounted rails (the LAMs on these versions also sit on top instead of the right side rail seen below).

An Allegiance operative wields the HK433 on Piccadilly Circus. By default, the player character holds the weapon with a C-clamp grip, which changes when a vertical foregrip or underbarrel weapon is attached. When using the "Singuard Arms Whisper" integrally-suppressed barrel, the operator adopts a standard weapon stance instead, though the weapon model is still tilted to the left as usual.

IWI Tavor CTAR-21

A Tavor CTAR-21 with some alterations from the Tavor 7 and the AUG series was added with the "Season One" content pack, under the name "RAM-7". Like some other weapons in the game, its profile was altered quite drastically to skirt around trademarks, resulting in a very boxy receiver with a straight-line flattop. It has two extended barrel options that also equip it with extended handguards, as well as a short 13.5" barrel option (almost close to an IWI X95's 13" barrel) inside the default handguard. The fictional "RAM-7" designation appears to be an allusion to the Tavor 7.

The TAR-21's Meprolight reflex sight appears as an attachment unique to this rifle, mounted alongside a 4x magnifier. The magnifier is fixed rather than being toggleable, and as such the optic is always a 4x scope in practical terms.

IWI Tavor 7 - 7.62x51mm NATO

Inventory preview of the CTAR-21. Note the Steyr AUG-type crossbolt safety that's ostensibly meant to work as a fire selector. This is especially odd considering the TAR-21 up until the X95 uses a dial-type selector instead. The weapon also has an AUG-style trigger. The two horizontal vents are from the Tavor 7. The front sight, with a tiny base, is also mounted backwards.

Idle pose of the CTAR-21. Note the continuous top rail which is inspired either by the Flat Top variant or the Tavor 7.

Performing a magazine change with the CTAR-21. The weird crossbolt safety is plainly visible in this shot.

Racking the comma-shaped charging handle. The charging handle on a real TAR-21 is more cylindrical instead.

With Sleight of Hand, the operator will quickly hit the mag release with the heel of his hand, slot in a new mag, then thumb the bolt release to chamber in one swift motion. The charging handle slides down onto the locked-back bolt as the user tilts the Tavor upwards; however, it stays forward if one maintains ADS while empty Sleight of Hand reloading.

Melee bashing with the CTAR-21 looks more like the operator is gifting his gun to the enemy, or at the very least desperately trying to throw it away from him.

The Spetsnaz operator demonstrates an alternate melee animation by thumping on a pickup truck with the stock of his CTAR-21.

Karabiner 98k

The Karabiner 98k is available in-game, classed as a marksman rifle rather than a sniper rifle due to using iron sights by default. The usage of the Kar98k in a modern context is likely inspired by its real life usage in the Syrian Civil War and the War in Donbass - in the campaign story, the allied Urzikstani militia often wield both infantry and scoped K98ks.

Unlike the majority of previous games, the full five-round stripper clip is not used for all reloads irrespective of the rounds remaining in the magazine. The new partial reload animation shows the player character partially pushing down a stripper clip and removing it after only loading three rounds on the clip. The full five-round clip is only used in the empty reload. When the "Sniper Scope" is attached, the regular reloads using a stripper clip are replaced by loading round-by-round (where the correct amount of rounds are always loaded).

The Bipod attachment gives the Kar98k the folding monopods from an Arisaka Type 99 rifle. Almost all of the blueprints for the rifle give it a modernized synthetic replacement stock.

During the beta, it was mistakenly described as being chambered in "7.62 Mauser" (although the 7.62mm caliber incidentally makes sense, since there are real Kar98k rifles converted to 7.62x51mm). The description was later corrected to 7.92 Mauser.

The animation doesn't show the player character rotating the bolt as far as it would need to in real life to cycle, the extractor claw is rotating with the bolt when it shouldn't, and there appears to be no locking lugs modeled on the bolt itself.

M14

The M14 appears as a designated marksman rifle. It is referred to as an "EBR-14", though it was correctly called "M14" during the alpha. Nevertheless, it can be customized with an EBR stock via the "FSS Raider Chassis Elite" attachment. It has a shorter 18" barrel by default (like in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), but can be modified to have a standard M14's 22" barrel, though the front sight remains attached to the gas block rather than the muzzle.

The M14 appears to be Alex's signature weapon in the singleplayer campaign; appearing in the Sage EBR chassis in pre-rendered cutscenes and in an Archangel style stock during segments where Alex is a supporting NPC.

Marlin Model 1895

The Marlin Model 1895 appears as the "MK2 Carbine", under the marksman rifles class. It operates similarly to the Remington 870 MCS and the Karabiner 98k in-game; the lever action is worked after a reload if the rifle is empty or if the cycling animation was interrupted by a reload.

Some blueprints give the Marlin brown wood furniture. Other blueprints give the rifle a skeletonized stock, a Midwest Industries M-LOK forend, and a different set of iron sights.

SIG-Sauer MCX VIRTUS SBR

The SIG-Sauer MCX VIRTUS SBR appears as the "M13", fitted with an 11.5" barrel by default. It is equipped with a rear sight based on the A.R.M.S. #40L, a front sight based on the PRI flip-up, and a strip of underbarrel rails. Its handguard is depicted with two pins instead of one, and its forward-leaning lower vents and sloped handguard tip are closer to earlier SIG-Sauer MCX models. As is the case with other weapons in the game, the "M13" has some intentional design differences compared to its real life inspiration, like slightly fictional details on the stock and the magazine release button fence.

The weapon is chambered in 5.56x45mm by default, but can be converted to use .300 Blackout ammunition. The "Tempus Mini" barrel attachment shortens the barrel to approximately 8 inches (a non-existent length for the MCX series). The "Tempus Cyclone" gives it an integral suppressor affixed to a 6.75" barrel (inside the default 10" handguard). The "Tempus Marksman" attachment is described as increasing the barrel length to 16 inches (which would make it a VIRTUS Patrol), though the in-game model is slightly shorter, somewhere between an MCX SBR's 14.5" barrel and an MCX Patrol's 16" barrel. The "no stock" attachment normally removes the stock, but the one on the "Radioactive" blueprint gives it an AR pistol receiver extension.

As with the Colt Model 933, the lower receiver lacks the pin for the auto sear above the selector switch, which would be required in order to fire in full-auto as shown in-game.

A short barreled, semi-automatic only "M13" is used by Kyle Garrick during the "Clean House" and "The Wolf's Den" single player missions. Its usage in the former mission is somewhat accurate, as the MCX (at least the original one) is used by the real world SCO19.

SIG SG 552

The SIG SG 552 was added in Season 2 as the "Grau 5.56". It features a wide latitude of customization options, including both longer and shorter barrel assemblies and replacement stocks and pistol grips.

SIG SG 550

The “Tempus 26.4" Archangel” attachment gives the weapon a full-sized barrel and custom full-length handguard, effectively converting it into a SIG SG 550. Additionally, combining this with the sniper scope, the "FSS Blackjack" stock and the "Cronen Sniper Elite" pistol grip makes it resemble the SG 550 SR variant (albeit with a standard SG 550 barrel).

Zastava M59/66 SKS

The Zastava M59/66, a Yugoslavian variant of the SKS, was added to the marksman rifles class in Season 3, simply named the "SKS". The distinctive rifle grenade launcher at the end of the barrel has been replaced by a similarly shaped muzzle device. The weapon uses aftermarket detachable magazines rather than stripper clips or loose rounds; it holds 20 rounds, and can optionally use 10 and 30-round magazines. By default, it is fitted with a furniture similar to the Tapco Intrafuse Stock System, albeit with a triangular folding stock; the "SKS rifle stock" attachment gives it a standard stock and wood furniture. The "FTAC Landmark" and "22" FSS M59/66" barrels include extended metal heatshields resembling earlier Russian self-loading rifles.

"HDR"

The "HDR", named after the campaign character Hadir Karim, is a fictional bolt-action sniper rifle with some elements (most notably the magwell) similar to the Victrix Corvus. It is fitted with the stock of an Armalite AR-50A1 with a miniaturized cheek rest from the Victrix Armaments Minerva series, and a keymod handguard loosely inspired by the Sureshot Armament Group SVD Chassis. The pistol grip is inspired by the Stark Equipment grips.

An altered version featuring a different receiver and handguard, as well as a skeletonized wooden thumbhole stock, is available for use in the campaign. It is revealed to have been custom-made by Hadir, and is referred to as "Hadir's Sniper Rifle" in the HUD. In the campaign, the sniper rifle is equipped with two scopes that line up and function as one. Hadir states that it is chambered in .338 Lapua, although its multiplayer counterpart is described as using 12.7x108mm ammunition.

A unique "Grassy Knoll" variant is available exclusively to owners of at least the Operator Edition of the game. Additionally, the aforementioned campaign model was added to multiplayer as a blueprint called "Hadir's Right Hand".

SVD Dragunov

The SVD Dragunov appears as the self-loading option for the sniper rifles category. Interestingly, the Dragunov's empty reload with Sleight of Hand has the user flicking out the old magazine with a new one, much like the AK's empty reload.

The "skeleton stock" attachment gives it an SVDS-like stock, while the "VLK lightweight stock" gives it a stock very similar to the synthetic stock of the post-1990s military SVDs.

A Minimi with a vertical foregrip and a custom stock is also seen in the "Sending Love" calling card. Another Minimi, fitted with an EOTech holographic sight and attached to a stationary mount, is seen on the "Realism Moshpit" tab on the matchmaking menu.

Heckler & Koch MG5

The Heckler & Koch MG5 appears as the "M91". In the campaign it is used mainly by US Marines instead of the more appropriate M240.

Some of the blueprints available for the "M91" heavily modify the MG5's appearance with elements of the Knight's Armament LAMG. The extended 150-round belt box is also shaped on the LAMG's hexagonal belt container.

Heckler & Koch MG5 A2

The "M91 Special Forces" attachment gives the weapon a shorter barrel, turning it into an MG5 A2 (except that the in-game barrel is not fluted). There is also an even shorter barrel option called "M91 Infantry".

In a modelling oversight, there is no ejection port for empty cartridges. This error is also present on some P90 weapon blueprints, such as the "Ruby Rampage".

L86A1

The L86A1 is featured as the "SA87", fitted with a 30-round STANAG magazine by default. It has the proper L86 barrel length and stock cutout for a folding shoulder support, but it also has some features of the L85 assault rifle variant, namely the longer handguard (here fitted with top, bottom and right-mounted rails) and the lack of a rear vertical grip. The bipod is an optional attachment for this weapon.

It was referred to as the newer L86A2 during the alpha, but the name was later changed to "SA87"; intentional or not, this name sounds rather similar to the SAR-87, an experimental assault rifle from Sterling Armaments, despite the SAR not having anything in common with the L86 other than being British and derived from the AR-18.

L85A1

The L86 can be fitted with a shorter barrel via the “SA87 18.2" Factory” attachment; coupled with the already present L85 features, this essentially turns it into an L85A1 assault rifle.

L85A1 - 5.56x45mm NATO

Gunsmith preview of a L85A1. Note that the handguard combines the L85 length with the grip stop of the L86. Also note the signature Modern Warfare fictionalizations such as four receiver vents instead of the proper five, three handguard vents instead of the proper four, no vents at all on the upper handguard segment, some missing pins while adding ones to the pistol grip and a misshapen trigger guard.

MG34

The MG34 appears in the game, using a 50-round belt drum. The usage of the MG34 in a modern context is likely inspired by its real life usage in the Syrian Civil War, even though the MG42-based MG3 or Zastava M53 would be more appropriate.

The game misportrays the MG34 as a right-ejecting weapon, when it is actually down-ejecting. Unlike the PKM below, the non-disintegrating ammo belt of the MG34 is not depicted.

The "Lucky Strike" blueprint gives it a custom modern barrel shroud and the pseudo Fortis LA stock available to other weapons as "FORGE TAC Ultralight".

The "Blowtorch" MG 34 which gives the machinegun a completely new modern chassis. "7.62 Mauser" is again inscribed above the pistol grip.

PKM

The PKM is available in Modern Warfare. The non-disintegrating ammo belt is portrayed in-game; the reload animation simplifies the removal process of a partially depleted belt by doing the first part of the reload animation off-screen.

The "25.9" heavy barrel" attachment gives it a PKP Pecheneg's barrel assembly, though it retains the original carry handle in addition to rib-like handle of the Pecheneg.

The "Standard Issue" blueprint is fitted with modern tactical furniture. This is also the case for the "Usurper" and "Bludgeoner" variants added post-release; the latter uses HEI (high-explosive incendiary) ammunition, and is able to gib enemies.

PKM with classic (most commonly seen) version of the flash hider - 7.62x54mm R

Launchers

Carl Gustaf M4

The Carl Gustaf M4 appears as the "Strela-P" (named after the Strela MANPADS series, which the Carl Gustaf is unrelated to), and in the beta, the rounds it fired were incorrectly depicted as both direct-fire and lock-on; while programmable rounds are planned for the M4 variant, none currently exist. The M4 is direct fire only in the released game.

Zane continues the Insurgency: Sandstorm tradition of engaging idle vehicles with AT launchers.

The, for some reason unpopular, gravity-defying edition of the Carl Gustaf. Note the RGD-5 grenades on Zane's gear.

FGM-148 Javelin

The FGM-148 Javelin appears as the "JOKR". The Javelin's thermal imaging, oddly referred to as a hybrid optic, is also integrated as a usable function, and can be toggled by pressing the "hold breath" key while aiming. Like in previous Modern Warfare games, the Javelin has the unrealistic ability to lock on to the ground. Getting struck by the EMP Drone Field Upgrade will briefly deactivate the lock on function, instead of deactivating the entire weapon like in previous games.

FN 40GL

The FN 40GL can be attached to the SCAR-H. Like the other underbarrel grenade launchers featured in-game, it can use six types of grenades: high-explosive, incendiary, concussive, flash, smokescreen, and "snapshot" (the latter via the "40mm Recon" attachment).

FN 40GL - 40mm

Milkor Mark 14

The Milkor Mark 14 appears in campaign and Special Ops as the "MGL-32". It can be found loaded with high-explosive grenades or incendiary grenades. It can also use "thermite" grenades in Special Ops when the Demolition class is selected.

Reloading the grenade launcher involves the use of a fictional grenade launcher speedloader. However, aside from the speedloader, the reload procedure is mostly accurate to real life, and includes the mandatory wind up.

SA-25

The Russian 9K333 Verba, also known by the NATO name SA-25, appears in the game as the "PILA" (plural form of pilum, a type of Roman javelin). It's depicted with a spherical battery coolant unit from a SA-14 Gremlin. Despite it being a MANPADS in reality, it is depicted as having the ability to direct-fire as well as lock on to aircraft and ground vehicles in-game. However it cannot lock on the "Cruise Missile" killstreak, despite being able to do so in real life.

SA-25 (9K333 Verba) - 72mm

Hybrid Bouncing Mine

The "proximity mine" is a lethal gadget in multiplayer. Its design basis is an Italian VS-1.6 mine depicted upside-down, and with prongs similar to the Valmara 69 mine on its new top side. It functions as a bounding mine that somehow deals damage to both infantry and vehicles. It is also described to be pressure-triggered in its description, making its "proximity mine" designation inaccurate, though gameplay wise it functions with a video-gamey personnel-detecting proximity trigger.

The "Proximity Mine" in the loadout menu.

"Thermite"

The Thermite grenade's appearance in multiplayer is loosely based on the Yugoslavian PMR-4 stake grenade. The in game "thermite" functions as an incendiary grenade, however, the actual PMR-4 doesn't function as such.

RGD-5

Unusable RGD-5 grenades are visible on vest of the Allegiance character Nikto and unlockable Season One uniforms for Rodion. Zane also has an outfit with the same unusable grenades.

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2

A fictional jet heavily inspired by the Sukhoi Su-25 "Frogfoot" is seen in the trailer, dropping cluster bombs on a scene resembling "the Highway of Death" from the 1991 Gulf War. It is similarly used in multiplayer as the delivery system for the "White Phosphorus" killstreak. The muzzle ends of its Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2 cannons be seen mounted in the nose cone.

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2 30mm automatic cannon - 30x165mm

Hell Cannon

The Hell Cannon, an improvised mortar created and used during the Syrian Civil War, appears in both singleplayer and multiplayer on certain Middle Eastern maps and levels. It is unusable by the player, and is only fired by non-player characters in scripted events.

Hybrid Reverse Draw Crossbow

A reverse draw crossbow was added with the 1.13 patch. It is a hybrid between the Barnett Headhunter and the Scorpyd Aculeus crossbows. It can be unlocked by killing enemy players with a marksman rifle with a reflex sight five times in 25 different matches. Aside from the standard bolts, the crossbow is able to equip explosive tips, thermite bolts or venomous bolts, at the cost of not being able to recover them.
