Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III

First screens from the website. Trailer in an hour. It remains to be seen if any reallife guns are used, but from the looks of it for a game set 50 years in the future many of them look unchanged from the present day.

This one looks sort of like a futurised rifle dynamics AK to me

Looks like a Vepr-12.--Sea lion (talk) 23:49, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

http://www.parabellumarmament.com/AK14.html Megatron267 The AK-12 on the page also looks a little like this I think

Um, not really, it looks like an AK-12. Evil Tim (talk) 15:39, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Considering COD's preference to re-skinning guns from previous games, this was most likely built over the AK12 from AW. This is the AK from Rifle Dynamics that sprung to my mind http://s659.photobucket.com/user/horseplay/media/SHOT2012day2045.jpg.html. --Forrest1985 (talk) 15:57, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Aside from a love of the Rolling Stones, is there any connection between the previous WaW/BO games and this game? --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:40, 30 April 2015 (EDT)

I bet they'll figure out a way to get Reznov in it. Maybe the new guy is Section's son or something. Evil Tim (talk) 16:01, 30 April 2015 (EDT)

I don't think that's an AK-12 or if it is, we should note the front site is attached to the gas block. Excalibur01 (talk) 07:54, 3 June 2015 (EDT)

This is actually the case for the AK-12 Carbine variant, but the weapon in-game has a longer barrel than this carbine. It seems to be one of the Rifle Dynamics AKs like Forrest1985 previously said, more specifically the 700 series that are actually chambered in 7.62x39mm. However, the handguard's length matches more that of the AK-12 Carbine, and the in-game weapon has a deeper magwell that most AK rifles (including the RD700 series), though not as much as the AK-12/76 shotgun or the Vepr-12. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 05:13, 17 June 2015 (EDT)

The `Locus' sniper seen in the newest trailer is a remodelled FN Ballista from Black Ops II, as it was said when several youtubers played it it felt similar to BOII's Ballista, and it looks identical --User:Megatron267

Weapons from the Multiplayer Reveal Trailer

I added some weapons from the trailer that was released and need some help IDing them. The one does look like a FN P90 but the other I had to hazard a guess on, saying it looked like the FP6 from Call Of Duty: Ghosts. Sorry for the bad quaility on the pics, I couldn't do HQ pics due to the video lagging on me. --SeanWolf (talk) 22:06, 27 June 2015 (EDT)

The VMP seems more like the Beretta MX4 Storm (User talk:Megatron267)

I have to agree, it does look more like the MX4 Storm --SeanWolf (talk) 13:35, 28 June 2015 (EDT)

The Sheiva: Shotgun Or Assault Rifle?

I was going to add this page, but there is one small problem: What the heck would I label it under? It looks to be based on the Bulldog shotgun but, and I'm not kidding, it's actually called a Semi-Automatic Rifle in game. I'm thinking I should put it under Assault Rifles, but what do you guys think? --SeanWolf (talk) 15:23, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Shotgun or Assault Rifle?

If anything I think that looks more like the Desert Tech MDR rifle than the Metal Storm MAUL if that's what you mean by "Bulldog." AgentGumby (talk) 17:09, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Yeah I think did mean the MAUL. I'm not sure about it looking like the MDR though. To me, it does look like the Metal Storm MAUL, judging by the shape of the weapon, then the MDR (compare the Sheiva to the MDR and you'll notice that the Sheiva is slanted in the back, where the magazine goes, and the MDR isn't) --SeanWolf (talk) 17:42, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Maybe I am missing something, but I see absolutely nothing here that looks like it came from a MAUL. The slanted back of the MAUL is unrelated to the actual firing part of the weapon and is purely the shape of the stock, as opposed to on this where it is the shape of the receiver. Also, this is a bullpup with the magazine clearly visible protruding out of the bottom of the receiver so in function it is totally different to a MAUL as well. I doubt that this is based particularly closely on anything real (particularly as there are a number of design features that make zero sense on a real gun), but pretty sure it is meant to be an assault rifle though rather than a shotgun. --commando552 (talk) 18:49, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

If you squint at it you can see what they're talking about, it looks like they basically used the old MAUL model as a shape reference when they were making this thing. It looks more like it'd be a battle rifle than an assault rifle given the size of the magazine, though. The handguard kind of reminds me of that bullpup SMG someone made out of a Sten, a FAL and an SL8.

Also I do like the gas tube that just dumps the gas back further down the barrel. It's a mobius gun! Evil Tim (talk) 22:09, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Gotta be honest here, when I first saw gameplay of this weapon when we didn't have enough details of it, it really reminded me of the MAUL, but now that we have a full view of it it's noticeably different. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 16:15, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

On a note somewhat related to commando552, I think that many of the guns in this game are gonna push into Halo-esque territory of fictional, but semi-believable designs. AgentGumby (talk) 23:21, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

It has been confirmed that this gun is actually a DMR type rifle. Single shot only.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 21:06, 15 August 2015 (EDT)

Locus sniper: Inspiration for it?

So i've seen some people saying that the Locus kinda looks like the Ballista from Black Ops II (also that it handles similarly, albeit that's has more to do with "light snipers" and all that nonsense) but the weapon also seems to be vaguely inspired by the Cheytac M200. Whadday think?

From some gameplay i've seen it also appears to use a straight pull bolt.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 02:45, 26 July 2015 (EDT)

To me it looks more like a cross between a PGM Mini-Hecate and a Remington MSR. --commando552 (talk) 05:22, 26 July 2015 (EDT)

I can see the connection of the former, but not so much of the latter.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 08:52, 26 July 2015 (EDT)

BO3 weapons list

http://theblackops3.com/bo3-weapons-list/ I found a website that contains some weapons for BO3.

Assault Rifles:

ARK-7 = A futuristic 7.62 AK variant.
HVK-30 = Probably a 5.56 design based on some distant AR-15 derivatives. It looks similar to the Remington R5 from Ghosts.
M8A7 = Resembles an SL8. Given its 4-round burst-fire nature and name it may be a successor to the M8A1 from Black Ops 2.
Sheiva = Reminds me of an M14 in a Rogue Juggernaut bullpup chassis, or the SMR from BO2.
Man-O-War = Looks like a buffed-up futuristic HK-417.
XR-2 = Tavor-like design.

Submachine Guns:

Kuda = UMP-like weapon. It's sleeker than Advanced Warfare's SN6.
Weevil = Yet another P90-like weapon. The long barrel makes it like a PS90, but visually it looks like a mish-mash between AW's Bal-27 and BO2's PDW-57.
Razorback = Vaguely resembles a bullpup SCAR-thingy.
Vesper = Based on the JS 9mm/QCW-05 with a straight magazine. Probably a successor to BO2's Chicom CQB.
VMP = Looks much like a Hi-Point Carbine.

Shotguns:

Haymaker 12 = AR-15/SCAR-like design firing shotgun shells like an AA-12.
KRM-262 = FP6/Bizon-like pump-action shotgun.

LMGs:

BRM = Futuristic Mk. 46/48. Probably a successor to the BO2's Mk. 48 and MW3's Mk. 46.
Dingo = Too boxy to describe.

Sniper Rifles :

Drakon = Resembles a revolving rifle.
Locus = A Ballista-like sniper that is a successor to the Ballista from BO2.
PR-06 = Resembles the Kel-Tec RFB.

Pistols:

L-CAR9 = Futuristic machine pistol based on a B&T MP9.
MR6 = A 'heavy' non-magnum pistol that kinda resembles the MK23.
RK5 = A 3-round burst pistol based on a Strayer Voight Infinity. Possible successor to BO2's B23R.

Launchers:
XR-53 = SMAW-like launcher that breaks open to the side like the M320.

This pic from the eSports reveal livestream confirms those are all 22 guns in the game.

I have a feeling the Razorback is based on this. Evil Tim (talk) 03:18, 16 August 2015 (EDT)
