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 was officially released on November 10, 2023, though preorders allow the game's campaign to be played early a week before.
All the firearms from Modern Warfare II are included in the game across multiplayer, as well as many of them being available in other game modes, so only the new weapons will be covered on this page.
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, which is supposed to be the Beretta 93R, especially when it was originally referred to as the “Raffica” in the pre-alpha. 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, converts it to full-auto, and allows underbarrel, optical sight and stock modification.
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, combined with a lack of finger grooves and an enlarged magazine release similar to the latter, as well as being MOS-configured. 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. It holds 14 rounds by default (one more than the real one).
During the beta, the model lacked a slide stop lever, but this was fixed in the final release.
The "XRK Pyre-9 Heavy Long Barrel" gives the gun a long slide resembling that of a Glock 41, depicted with front serrations.

Glock 21C (in carbine conversion kit)
Using the "XRK IP-V2 Conversion Barrel" places the COR-45 inside a carbine conversion kit. The kit partially resembles the carbine kit used in MWII, but without the AR style T-handle and stock. This aftermarket conversion allows the weapon to be modified with scopes and underbarrel rail attachments, along with a binary trigger that in gameplay terms works like the real counterpart, effectively firing the gun when pulling and releasing the trigger.
RSh-12
The 2014 model of the RSh-12 appears as the "TYR", the name referencing the god of war in Norse mythology; this is presumably meant to connect it to MW19’s ASh-12.7, known as the "Oden" (an alternate spelling of "Wōden", the Old English spelling of the name "Odin"). The in-game model is heavily stylized, with a significantly smaller cylinder possessing flutes and a strange frontal taper, a barrel with no vent holes, a differently-shaped trigger guard housing an also-reshaped trigger (which sits much further back than the real weapon's), an oddly-straight grip with almost no beavertail, a Colt-type pull-back cylinder release instead of the actual weapon's push-forward release, and a safety based on the 2021 model, alongside numerous smaller changes.
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. By default, it features a dimpled barrel (roughly 10"), a solid M16-style stock, and a handguard with a strange lower extension, housing a tube into which lights and lasers are mounted (despite the handguard having side rails); all of the alternate barrel options extend the same distance downwards, likely to keep the foregrip positions and handling animations consistent.
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" which is then retained in the final game.
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. A 48-round mag is also available, this one also being too short to fit that amount of .45 ACP rounds.
IMI Uzi
The IMI Uzi appears as the "WSP-9". It is depicted with a bent trigger guard from the Micro Uzi / Uzi Pistol.
IMI Uzi (.45 ACP)
Using the "Broodmother .45 Kit" attaches a suppressor and an early model wooden stock, and converts it to fire .45 ACP with the magazine model changed.
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)
A 9x19mm conversion of the LWRC SMG-45 appears as the "Striker 9". Said conversion was planned for the real weapon, but has not been released so far. Interestingly enough, the weapon is stated to be manufactured by Lachmann & Meer, the in-universe analogue to Heckler & Koch.
Shotguns
Fostech Origin-12
The Fostech Origin-12 appears as the "Haymaker" (which is coincidentally named as the similarly functioning shotgun in BO3). A customized version of the Origin-12 appears 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 as the "Riveter". It has a 15-round magazine with plastic windows 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 in-game model also comes with the side rail mount that is never used due to the top rails. The barrel assembly resembles a conceptual 6x49mm rifle photoshopped by an internet forum user. 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. As of launch, the hyperburst fire mode is incorrectly listed as "semi-auto" mode.
Bushmaster ACR
A Bushmaster ACR with tan furniture appears in-game as the "MCW". The weapon can be converted to fire .300 AAC Blackout ammunition by using the "JAK Raven Kit".

Bushmaster ACR (.450 Bushmaster)
The .450 Bushmaster variant of the ACR is available as the "Sidewinder". In the campaign's early access, its caliber was incorrectly labeled as .458 SOCOM; this has been changed to ".450 Huntsman" in the final release. Similarly to the "FTac Recon" introduced in MWII, it is classified as a battle rifle, despite .450 Bushmaster being more of an oversized intermediate cartridge.
Bushmaster ACR DMR
A Bushmaster ACR DMR with black furniture appears as the "MCW 6.8". The beta version was fictionally stated to be chambered in 6.8x51mm; this was changed for the final release to "6.8 Wrath", which is the in-universe version of the cartridge that the General Dynamics RM277-based rifle fires.
Being in the marksman rifle class, it fires in semi-auto only mode by default, but a has full-auto conversion available. In both cases, the fire selector is set to full-auto.
CZ 805 BREN A2
The CZ 805 BREN A2 appears as the "MTZ-556". It has a fictional gas plug by default, but most barrel attachments (notably the "MTZ Natter Barrel" with a similar length to the base weapon) give it a correct CZ 805's gas plug. The "MTZ Skeletal Folding Stock" attachment is reminiscent of the early stock of the 1st gen CZ 805. If the player has a "Mag Holster" equipped in his gear slot, the operator will thumb the bolt hold-open button to release the bolt on an empty reload, something not possible on the real rifle. Aftermarket bolt releases have been made for the civilian S1 version, however.

CZ 805 BREN A1
The "MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel" turns the weapon into a full-size CZ 805 BREN A1.
CZ BREN 2 BR
The CZ BREN 2 BR in 7.62x51mm NATO appears in the battle rifle class as the "MTZ-762". It is incorrectly depicted with a reciprocating charging handle and without the trigger guard bolt hold-open device.
CZ BREN 2
The "JAK Heretic Carbine Kit" converts it into a CZ BREN 2 in 7.62x39mm.
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.
FAMAS F1
The FAMAS F1 appears as the "FR 5.56", returning from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, this time without its fictional gas block.
FN SCAR-H
An FN SCAR-H set up to pass for an FN HAMR IAR appears in the light machine gun class as the "TAQ Eradicator". It is a slightly modified version of the SCAR-H from the previous game.
Heckler & Koch G36
A Heckler & Koch G36 resembling the stylized MW19 counterpart appears in the assault rifle class as the "Holger 556". Like in the original Modern Warfare 3, the assault rifle and machine gun variants of the G36 are available.
Heckler & Koch G36C
The rifle can be converted into a Heckler & Koch G36C.
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 available as the "DM56".
QBZ-97
A QBZ-97 with a slightly stylized T97.ca LHG and FTU appears as the "DG-58". Like its counterpart from the original Modern Warfare 3, the weapon fires in three-round bursts, something only possible on the QBZ-97A variant.
Price inexplicably starts with a DG-58 in the "Countdown" section of the mission "Trojan Horse". Unless the weapon is likely standing in for an SA80 variant or by the off-chance that he stole it from one of the Konni Group members, the chances of the weapon of Chinese/Canadian-exported origin used by TF141 or the SFO in the United Kingdom are next to null.
SIG-Sauer MCX-SPEAR
A stylized SIG-Sauer MCX-SPEAR appears in the battle rifle class as the "BAS-B". It is fitted with the same stylized Magpul MBUS used on the RM277 from Modern Warfare II. It was stated in the beta loadout menu to chamber the real life ".277 Fury" instead of the aforementioned "6.8 Wrath"; it has been changed to simply ".277" in the final game. Similar to Battlefield 2042, the weapon is depicted without its custom-designed SIG SLX suppressor by default but it is available as the "Bruen Harmonic Suppressor L". Barrel options include 9" and approximately 20" barrels.
Sniper Rifles
Bolt-action AK
A bolt-action AK rifle appears as the "Longbow", fitted with a 30-round magazine.
Chukavin SVCh-8.6
The Chukavin SVCh-8.6 appears in the sniper rifle class 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.
Kalashnikov SVK
The SVK prototype of the Chukavin SVCh appears in the marksman rifle class as the "KVD Enforcer", chambered in 7.62x54mm R.
Steyr HS .50-M1
The Steyr HS .50-M1 appears as the "KATT-AMR".
Machine Guns
FN Minimi
The FN Minimi returns from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, once again called the "Bruen Mk9". Despite the unchanged name, the weapon is now stated to be manufactured by Tactique Verte, the in-universe analogue to FN Herstal, as inscribed on the right side of the feed tray cover.
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). It also features a PKM's wooden stock, a few Picatinny rails (one on the top cover for optics, one on the gas tube for foregrips, and a few just ahead of that for lights/lasers/etc.), and a fair few stylistic fictionalizations throughout (e.g. the trigger guard, the front sight, the dust covers, et cetera). Just like with MW2019, the loading procedure is incorrect. In this game, the operator racks the charging handle back at the beginning of the procedure before opening the top cover and slotting a new belt into the feed tray, but unlike Western designs such as the M240, M60, or FN Minimi, the bolt does not push cartridges through the belt links - owing to the fact that the 7.62x54mm cartridge's rim gets in the way. Instead, the PK family of machine guns pulls cartridges backwards out of the belt, which necessitates that the operator rack the charging handle only once at the end of the loading process. The animations in this game would realistically result in the bolt dropping without firing and the operator having to rack the bolt back once more.
PKP Pecheneg Bullpup
The weapon can be converted into a PKP Pecheneg Bullpup with the "JAK Annihilator Bullpup Kit". The reload animations are actually correct for a PK series machine gun in this conversion, as now the operator racks the bolt at the end of the process instead of in the beginning.
QJB-95-1
The QJB-95-1 appears 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" is a Model 7290 flashbang grenade.
M88 HC Røyk Hånd Granat
The M88 HC Røyk Hånd Granat appears as the "Smoke Grenade".
M67 Hand Grenade
A M67 Hand Grenade is 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.
Mounted Weapons
DShK
Heckler & Koch GMG
The Heckler & Koch GMG in a Protector RWS turret is mounted on M1A2 Abrams tanks in the map Invasion.
Unusable Weapons
Kimber Custom TLE RL/II
The same Kimber Custom TLE/RL II from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is seen in the closing campaign credits sequence, despite being unavailable in-game.
