Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is the twentieth main installment of the Call of Duty first-person shooter series. Developed primarily by Sledgehammer Games instead of Infinity Ward and published by Activision, it is the third installment of the Modern Warfare reboot subseries started in 2019 and a back-to-back sequel of 2022's Modern Warfare II. It will be officially released on November 10, 2023, though preorders allow the game's campaign to be played early a week before.
The following weapons appear in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
A Beretta 92FS with a fictional MIL-STD 1913 rail similar to the one found on recent Taurus PT92 variants appears as the "Renetti". Unlike Modern Warfare’s Renetti, the safety is now correctly on the slide. It's not a Beretta M9A1 or Beretta 92A1 as the trigger guard shape doesn't resemble the one on either variant. It fires in three-round burst by default. Other external differences from the real one include a less pronounced beaver tail, a hinged trigger, a differently shaped magazine release button and a longer barrel.
CAA RONI
Using the "JAK Ferocity Carbine Kit" places the Beretta into a CAA RONI carbine conversion kit, and converts it to full-auto.
Glock 21C
The Glock 21 appears under the name "COR-45". This time, it is the 21C variant with compensator cuts, and is full black. It is also a hybrid of the 3rd and 5th generation models, as it has the former's guide rod, square slide edges and non-ambidextrous slide stop (in fact, it lacks one), combined with a lack of finger grooves and an enlarged magazine release similar to the latter. Differences from the real model also include a differently shaped trigger guard, a flat face skeletonized trigger and a MIL-STD 1913 rail with three slots. It can be assumed it will share the same base platform as the X12 and X13 in 9mm, as they are both based on Glock pistols and their grip areas are almost identical, however the markings and the name suggest it's manufactured by Corvus and not XRK. The logic of who manufactures what in the rebooted Modern Warfare trilogy is beyond anyone's comprehension.
The "XRK Pyre-9 Heavy Long Barrel" gives the gun a long slide resembling that of a Glock 40, depicted with front serrations.
RSh-12
The RSh-12 is seen in the multiplayer trailer.
Submachine Guns
Custom 9mm AR-15
A custom 9mm AR-15 with the same SIG 516/SIG M400-based receiver as Modern Warfare II’s "M4" appears as the "AMR9", which is coincidentally the same name as the five-round burst AR platform weapon (also classified as an SMG) from Advanced Warfare. The weapon's file name IDs it as the Model 635 (fixed carry handle, slim handguards, 4-position stock from the Model 653), while the presence of a flattop upper would make it closer to the Model 991 (removable carry handle, KAC rail system, 6-position stock from the M4A1).
CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1
The CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 appears, using nearly the same model as the stylized Modern Warfare counterpart. The campaign premiere for "Operation 627" referred to it by its real name, "Scorpion Evo 3", however it has been changed to "Rival-9".
Heckler & Koch UMP45
A stylized Heckler & Koch UMP45 appears as the "Striker". It reuses the model of the "Undertaker" blueprint from MW19 (which visually changed that game's LWRC SMG-45 into a UMP45), though rather bizarrely the magazine has been remodeled to be too short. The MW19 version featured a correct-length magazine correctly holding 25 rounds, while the MWIII iteration features a too-short magazine (roughly 20) that somehow holds 30 rounds, and despite this the magazine is very clearly marked with a large "25".
IMI Uzi
The IMI Uzi is scheduled to appear as the "WSP-9".
IMI Micro Uzi
The IMI Micro Uzi appears in the handgun class as the "WSP Stinger".
IWI Uzi Pro
The IWI Uzi Pro appears as the "WSP Swarm". Although it is select-fire, it is visually based on the pistol variant. By default, it is fitted with an A3 Tactical modular folding stock. It can be equipped with a stabilizing brace, allowing it to be dual-wielded.
LWRC SMG-45 (9mm conversion)
The unreleased 9x19mm conversion of the LWRC SMG-45 is seen in the multiplayer trailer.
Shotguns
Fostech Origin-12
The Fostech Origin-12 is set to appear as the "Haymaker" (which is coincidentally named as the similarly functioning shotgun in BO3). A customized version of the Origin-12 is set to appear as the "Recon Haymaker", used by the Support Juggernaut.
Remington 870
The "Lockwood 680" is a stylized tactical Remington 870 pump-action shotgun, similar to the "Model 680" from MW19. The model in-game uses a standard synthetic non-pistol grip stock by default, and can be modified with an MCS-esque pistol grip stock combination by equipping the "FTAC Goliath XM250 Heavy Stock".
"Riveter"
A .410-gauge automatic shotgun possibly based on the ATI Omni .410 (an AR-15-styled shotgun) is available in the beta as the "Riveter". It has a 15-round magazine and fires in full-auto.
Rifles
AN-94/AK-74M hybrid
A hybrid of the AN-94's barrel and forend with an AK-74M/AK-100 series receiver appears as the "SVA 545". The rifle also features an unusual gap between the trigger guard and magazine release, similar to the Type 81. It's modeled with a Zenitco PT-1 stock, uncanted magazine well, railed handguard and full top rails. The barrel assembly resembles a conceptual 6x49mm rifle mockup. Despite this odd combination of visual elements, in gameplay terms the rifle is intended to be an AN-94, featuring its two-round hyperburst at the beginning of every trigger pull.
Bushmaster ACR
A Bushmaster ACR with tan furniture appears in-game as the "MCW".
Bushmaster ACR DMR
A Bushmaster ACR DMR fictionally chambered in 6.8x51mm with black furniture appears as the "MCW 6.8".
CZ 805 BREN
The CZ 805 BREN appears as the "MTZ-556".
CZ BREN 2 BR
The CZ BREN 2 BR in 7.62x51mm NATO appears as the "MTZ-762".
CZ BREN 2 DMR
A CZ BREN 2 in a DMR configuration intended to pass for a BREN 2 PPS appears as the "MTZ Interceptor". By default, it has a short barrel, a stylized Magpul PRS stock and a pistol grip with palm shelf, but can be modified with a longer barrel and a standard BREN 2 BR/PPS stock and pistol grip.
FN F2000 Tactical
The FN F2000 Tactical is supposed to appear as the "ANVL-B".
Heckler & Koch G36
A Heckler & Koch G36 resembling the stylized MW19 counterpart appears in the assault rifle class as the "Holger 556".
Heckler & Koch G36K
A Heckler & Koch G36K with a G36C carry handle appears in the light machine gun class as the "Holger 26", using a 60-round single drum magazine by default. The G36C carry handle is taller than the real version, a middle ground between it and the integrated optics carry handle. It can equip several full-length G36 barrel options (one of which has an integrated bipod), a 100-round double drum or 40-round magazine (no smaller, likely so as to not overlap in role with the assault rifle class version), as well as a stylized depiction of the G36's integrated carry handle optic.
Heckler & Koch MG36
Equipping the above G36K with the G36-length integrated bipod barrel, integrated optic, and 100-round drum makes for a proper MG36 build.
Heckler & Koch SL8
The Heckler & Koch SL8 is set to appear in the game.
QBZ-95
A QBZ-95 is seen in a promotional screenshot.
QBZ-97
A QBZ-97 is seen in a promotional screenshot.
SIG-Sauer MCX-SPEAR
The SIG-Sauer MCX-SPEAR appears in the game as the "BAS-B". Unlike the LoneStar Future Weapons RM277-based rifle from the previous game, it is stated to chamber the real life ".277 Fury" instead of "6.8 Wrath". Similar to Battlefield 2042, the weapon is depicted without its custom-designed SIG SLX suppressor by default.
Sniper Rifles
Bolt-action AK
A bolt-action AK rifle appears in the beta as the "Longbow", fitted with a 25-round magazine.
Chukavin SVCh-8.6
The Chukavin SVCh-8.6 appears as the "KV Inhibitor". It is fitted by default with a shorter barrel like SVCh variants of other calibers, while the "Kas-Dworf Heavy Long Barrel" attachment approximates the real SVCh-8.6's barrel length.
Steyr HS .50-M1
The Steyr HS .50-M1 is set to appear as the "Katt-AMR".
Machine Guns
FN HAMR IAR
The FN HAMR IAR or an FN SCAR-H variant is set to appear as the "TAQ Eradicator".
PKP Pecheneg
The PKP Pecheneg appears as the "Pulemyot 762", with Pulemyot being Russian for machine gun. As of the beta, it is incorrectly depicted with a disintegrating belt, unlike the PKM in MW2019 (although that version incorrectly depicted the whole belt as non disintegrating, instead of breaking in sections of 25).
PKP Pecheneg Bullpup
The weapon can be converted into a PKP Pecheneg Bullpup with the "Pulemyot 762B Bullpup Conversion Kit".
QJB-95
A QJB-95 variant is set to appear as the "DG-58 LSW".
Launchers
"Burrow 500"
A yet-to-be-identified underbarrel grenade launcher appears as the "Burrow 500".
Explosives
Model 7290 Flashbang Grenade
As with previous games, the "Flash Grenade" in the game is set to appear as the Model 7290 flashbang grenade.
M88 HC Røyk Hånd Granat
The M88 HC Røyk Hånd Granat is set to appear as the "Smoke Grenade".
M67 Hand Grenade
A M67 Hand Grenade is set to be featured in the game as the "Frag Grenade".
Hybrid Mine
What appears to be a fictional mine very loosely resembling a VIS-1.6 anti-tank mine apparently scattering PFM-1 mines.
