Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

The following weapons are used in the video game Modern Warfare 2, also known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2:

Handguns

Note: All handguns in the game except the Springfield Pro 1911 are available in single and multiplayer modes. All handguns in multiplayer mode can be equipped with a variety of accessories including FMJ rounds, supressors/silencers, dual wield (akimbo), tactical knives, and extended magazines (unless noted otherwise).

Heckler & Koch USP45

Modified (with threaded barrels) Heckler & Koch USP45s are in single and multiplayer and can be identified by the slide. They are equipped with unidentified non-removable, non-usable Laser Aiming Modules and suppressors. One of the main sidearms of the Russian forces, including Ultra-nationalists and Internal Troops, and Task Force 141. In single player, the USP is always equipped with the tactical knife attachment. (Note that the rear sights are not adjustable ones like that of the USP Tactical.) In multiplayer, the USP45 is unlocked at level 4 (Private First Class) and is an effective sidearm at all. It has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds or 18 rounds with the extended magazines attachment.

Makarov PM

A poster of a Makarov PM is seen in the Multiplayer map 'Salvage" in the small house, along with SVD Dragunov and AKM Posters, and the plans of the attack on "No Russian".

Colt Anaconda

The Colt Anaconda is used by General Shepard in the Campaign in a couple of significant instances in the story. In one scene, he pulls back the hammer, and then the cylinder incorrectly rotates again when he pulls the trigger. Earlier in the story, we see that the revolver is holstered, yet he pulls the same model of that revolver out to shoot someone, as though he has another big Anaconda tucked in the back of his pants. It is a useful weapon in multiplayer mode due to its quick draw, and the fact that the weapon will fire as fast as the player can press the fire button. As you probably suspected, the .44 Anaconda is not available with a silencer or extended magazines. Also, instead of 75 kills, the player has to reach 100 kills with this weapon to unlock the tactical knife attachment. Also the grip has no finger curves.

Beretta 92SB

As in the original Modern Warfare (Call of Duty 4), the Beretta 92SB incorrectly appears as the military issue M9. It is the primary sidearm of all U.S. troops in singleplayer, and is also used by the Afghan National Army, Task Force 141, U.S. Navy SEALs, and is infrequently used by the Middle Eastern OpFor.

IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle

Faust, Alejandro Rojas' assistant, carries a Desert Eagle with a laser aiming module attached it. It is equipped with custom 3-dot sights and is modeled with Magnum Researches' new barrel with a picatinny rail. Main sidearm of the Brazilian militia. Surprisingly, quite a few Americans, most notably Cpl. Dunn, use this gun as their preferred sidearm. Similarly to the Colt Anaconda, 100 kills are required to unlock the tactical knife, and no suppressor or extended magazines are available.

Springfield Armory Professional 1911

It is the same pistol given to Soap by Captain Price in the 1st game, during the final level, "Game Over". Some Ghillie snipers are also seen with this M1911 holstered, though they never use them and tend to switch to a Heckler & Koch USP that magically appears. When Soap and Price reunite during the Gulag level, Soap hands the pistol to Price and says, "This belongs to you sir." One of the only guns not usable in-game. Only usable in the museum bonus level. Strangely, in multiplayer modes, when the player is using a sniper rifle as their primary weapon, on an arctic or desert type map, the M1911 will appear in either the player's holster or on their belt. Also, at the very beginning of the game, during the level S.S.D.D, Sergeant Foley can be seen with a WWII-era M1911A1 in his holster.

This particular 1911 was generated into the game to serve the role as the Kimber MARSOC ICQB 1911, but in the end, was modeled after a custom Springfield Professional. It would have made it into the game if not for a delay in the reload coding--when the player performs an empty reload (slide locked back) the gun will sit in the player's hand for a noticeable moment before he/she reloads it.

"Standard" Glock

A full-sized Glock pistol can be seen in the "Last Stand" and "Last Stand Pro" perk symbols. The pistol could be any of the standard Glock models: G17, G18, G20, G21, G22, G31 or G37.

Machine Pistols

PP-2000

Used by Russian Paratroopers and Makarov's Ultranationalist troops in both normal and last stand modes. Interestingly, like the G18/Glock 17 they fire it semi-auto in last stand and usually discharge a few rounds by accident if they are shot in last stand. The PP-2000 can be equipped with assorted sights, scopes and accessories, including a thermal sight on the level "The Only Easy Day...Was Yesterday." It is an all around effective weapon in multiplayer mode because of its high rate of fire and low recoil. Additionally, the weapon's only drawback is its 20 round magazine.

Glock 17 converted to full-auto

The Glock 17 appears in the game in a full auto configuration, with a 33 round magazine. Although it is called a G18, alluding to the Select fire Glock 18 manufactured by the same company, it has no selector switch, and the frame is olive-drab, which was only featured on their semi-automatic designs. The Glock 18 is used by the Brazilian Milita, Task Force 141, wounded Shadow Company soldiers when they are in "Last Stand", and, on occasion, Middle-Eastearn Opfor. The pistol is also available in several Spec Ops missions. It is unlocked at level 22 (Master Sergeant) for multiplayer modes. The weapon has a high rate of fire, high recoil, but it is possible to utilize the recoil to get headshots. When paired with akimbo and extended magazine attachments it is especially accurate and deadly.

Beretta 92FS made to resemble a Beretta 93R

A confirmed weapon classified under the Machine Pistol slot as the Beretta 93R, it's attached with a skeletal stock and what looks like an attachment rail for a flashlight/LAM. In game model has extended mag but still only holds 15 rounds, MP model holds 20 rounds though. Seen in the armory in "The Gulag" when the player is searching the prison for prisoner 627. The "M93 Raffica" is unlocked at level 38 in multiplayer, and benefits from low recoil, high damage, fast reload times, and instantaneous ADS. The in-game 93R has a slide mounted safety, characterizing it as a converted 92FS to resemble and function like a Beretta 93R (real 93Rs lack the slide mounted safety and have a more angler slide). It seems likely that the developers took the base M9 model and added 93R parts to it and made it shoot three-round bursts.

Brügger & Thomet MP9

The Brügger & Thomet MP-9 variant with the scope rail and folding stock was seen in the Special Ops Gameplay footage. Ingame, it is called the TMP, which was manufactured by Steyr until 2001, upon which the design was sold to Brugger & Thomet. Visually, the TMP is identical to the MP9, but lacks the top rail and folding stock. The MP9 Often seen in singleplayer used by Middle Eastern OpFor, Russian Airport Security Police, Makarov's Ultranationalist and Shadow Company and is often dual-wielded (with a fairly realistic drop in accuracy, especially since you lose your ghost-ring ironsights). In multiplayer is has a small 15 round magazine (which can be emptied in about 1 second), but extremely low recoil and great accuracy. It is unlocked at level 58.

Sub-machine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5K

The MP5K (with custom Rail Interface System) appears in the game. Comes with a foregrip in multiplayer, but in singleplayer this is absent. Presumably this makes sense to somebody. Used by Brazilian Milita, Middle Eastern OpFor, Rangers, Task Force 141, Russian Internal Troops\FSB, and some Russian soldiers\Ultranationalist. It is often seen with a Red Dot Sight. A suppressed version, the "MP5KSD", is available in "The Enemy of My Enemy," "Just Like Old Times," and several of the Spec Ops missions. Note: The 'SD' suffix denotes an integral silencer; clearly the silencer is NOT integral.

Heckler & Koch UMP45

Used by Russian police, Russian military, Shadow Company and Task Force 141. The UMP45 can be equipped with extended magazines, and is one of the only SMGs to use scopes. It, like the MP5K, has tactical rails added to the bottom and top of the weapon.

TDI Vector

The May 24th trailer shows a brief scene of the TDI Vector being used with its experimental 26-round magazine and possible EOTech Holographic sight. Used by Russians, Shadow Company, and occasionally Task Force 141, along with the Brazilians who rarely ever use this. Usually has a reflex sight, and in some levels has a suppressor. Everywhere in the game (unless camouflaged) it has a default tan finish like the real-life prototype; in 'Just Like Old Times' Soap's Vector has a unique black finish.

IMI Mini Uzi

The Mini Uzi used by Brazilian Militia, Mid-east OpFor and rarely Makarov's Ultra-nationalist in the level "Enemy of My Enemy". Used near the end of the game in the boat chase scene. Rarely has any attachments. Dual wield available. When aiming down sights, sights are not properly lined up, and the gun would shoot high in reality.

Assault Rifles

FAMAS F1

The FAMAS F1 is seen in the game. It can only fire in bursts, and is used mostly by Russians. Occasionally, it can be seen in singleplayer using White Tape Camo, which is used as a temporary stand-in for the arctic camouflage.

Colt M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 variant with ARMS S.I.R. system and flip-up PRI front and ARMS #40L rear back up iron sights. With a few exceptions, this is mostly used with an M203, and many of them use optical sights or scopes. In the museum level, there is a suppressed version of this. The M4A1 is used by the Rangers, Task Force 141, and Makarov's Russian terrorist assaulting the Russian airport. Also to note is that the rifles ingame are Colt-manufactured, with Colt's "prancing pony" logo stamped on the left side of the lower receiver on the ingame model. Although curiously, the M4 held by Soap MacTavish in one of the promotional images has a Bushmaster stamp on it.

  • A note of interest: While you can only fire this weapon in full-auto, the selector switch is modeled on semi-auto.
  • Another note: The M4A1 aswell the M16A4, lack the bullet ejection port as can be seen clearly on the two pictures above. This is the same modeling mistake like in Call of Duty 4.

Colt M16A4

Seen in the "Infamy" trailer. The M16A4 is correctly depicted as the standard weapon of the U.S. Army Rangers. Like the M4A1, many of these have M203 grenade launchers. Mostly seen used by the Rangers in the Washington, D.C. missions or by Task Force 141.

Just like in Modern Warfare 1, when the M16 is mounted with optics, the front sight and the gas block are removed. This would render the gun unable to fire automatically after the first shot. The shooter would have to manually load a round into the chamber by racking the bolt. This would effectively make the gun a bolt action.

FN SCAR-H CQC

Seen in game trailers and magazines. The SCAR-H is one of the primary rifles of Task Force 141, U.S. Army Rangers, and Shadow Company soldiers. Note that it's an old 2nd generation model used in-game, with the straight cheek rest on the stock. In multiplayer, it correctly holds 20 bullets per magazine, while in singleplayer it holds 30; it can be assumed that, similar to the USP .45 and the tactical knife, all SCAR-H's in singleplayer are equipped with the "Extended Magazines" attachement. It also has a chopped down rear sight.

IMI Tavor TAR-21

The IMI Tavor TAR-21 weapon pick-up icon is seen in the new capture the flag video, seen loaded with Full Metal Jacket rounds, and is also seen in the create a class video. It is used by Russian soldiers, and Task Force 141.The IMI Tavor TAR-21 almost always has some kind of optical sight or scope, including the standard MARS sight (As a result, after the EMP 3/4 of them become junk, though ACOG scopes are still usable).

FN FAL

The FN FAL rifle appears in game trailers with an extended 30 round magazine. Used almost as often as the AK-47 by militia, and sometimes by Russians. It's not capable of full-auto fire, which would seem correct for the Brazilians and OpFor. Usually equipped with either an M870 Masterkey or an ACOG scope. Does the "speed reload" technique when reloading. In Multiplayer, the mags hold only 20 rounds unless the Extended Mags attachment is equipped. Despite being called a FAL, its design is closer to the DSArms SA58 OSW.

Bushmaster/Remington ACR

The Remington ACR is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and equipped with a silencer, reflex sight, heartbeat monitor, and a 30 round magazine in the "Cliffhanger" mission. In the mission "Takedown", it's seen with a 40mm M203 Grenade Launcher. Referred as the ACR, it is formerly known as the Magpul Masada. A special black version of the "Cliffhanger" ACR is available in the mission "Just Like Old Times" that has a maximum ammo limit of 1,260 rounds, while the limit of the regular ACR is 650 rounds. Commonly used by the Task Force 141 and Shadow Company. Regardless of single-player missions or multiplayer gamemodes, all ACR's use Magpul PMAG's, in place of the STANAG magazines.

AK-47

This AK-47 variant is fitted with Tapco Intrafuse and T6 furniture sets and an M4 carbine stock and Stock Adapter. Standard rifle of pretty much every foreign military you fight. Most are seen with arctic or desert furniture, although some AK's in the level Loose Ends will have several in digital and woodland furniture.

M14 EBR

This firearm is an M14 featuring a SAGE EBR stock, Harris Bi-pod, and vertical front grip, however, it is fitted with a Magpul CTR stock instead of the standard telescoping SAGE stock. This seems to be the weapon of choice for Captain MacTavish, and is very rarely found in singleplayer without a scope attached. It is the last sniper rifle to be unlocked in multiplayer, where it is listed as an "M21EBR", likely to remind players of the actual M21 in Modern Warfare. An unscoped M14 EBR can se seen lying around before you start breaching a wall in the Spec-Ops mission "Breach & Clear.". It is the only time you get to use it unscoped.

Light Machine Guns

L86A1 LSW

The L86A1 Light Support Weapon appears only once in the entire single-player game, during the defense of the safehouse. Confirmed as an A1 by the round charging handle. Also, in multiplayer, the ACOG sight is replaced by the SUSAT which is the standard optical sight of the British Armed Forces, the L86A1 LSW is portrayed incorrect in MW2 as it has the L85A1/A2 handguard whereas the L86A1/A2 has a shortened handguard.

Steyr AUG HBAR

A Steyr AUG H-Bar is under the light machine gun class in multiplayer, where it uses a bipod, but is used in an A2-like assault rifle configuration for single player, where it has the standard AUG scope, no bipod and 30 round magazine. Used mainly by Russians. When no sight is mounted in multiplayer, the rear sight is missing.

FN M240B

Used by US Army Rangers, Task Force 141, Shadow Company, Juggernauts, and Makarov's terrorist assaulting the airport. Often seen with a heartbeat sensor (resemblance to the motion sensors from Aliens is entirely coincidental... yeah right). Also seen mounted on the Abrams tank (unusable).

Shotguns

Franchi SPAS-12

The Franchi SPAS-12 is used in pump-action mode by the Russians, Shadow Company, and the Task Force, usually with no attachments. An interesting point is that in singleplayer, you can see the empty shells ejecting when the gun is cycled, but you can't see the shells in multiplayer.

AA-12

The AA-12 is available in the game and fitted with the 8-round box magazine. Used by the Russians and Shadow Company. Also appears outside the obstacle course in the first level once the player has run through it once and a suppressed version with a heartbeat sensor appears in the Spec-Ops mission "Acceptable Losses.".

Armsel Striker

The Armsel Striker is used by a terrorist assaulting a Russian airport. Also used by many Russian soldiers, who also like to use it with a reflex sight. Has a very slow reload, with each shell being loaded manually. The lack of a cylinder key suggests the weapon is a Striker Protecta.

Sears Ranger

A sawed-off Sears Ranger is featured in the game. It can be dual-wielded to make up for its 2-round capacity. It can fire both barrels at the same time, despite the fact that the Create-a-Class icon clearly has only one trigger. Used by some Brazilians.

Winchester Model 1887

The Winchester Model 1887 is used by some Brazilians. Judging by how much damage it does, especially at range, it's most likely chambered in 10-guage. The weapon has a shortened barrel, no stock, and an enlarged lever loop. When akimbo, the weapons are flip-cocked as in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The reload erroneously shows every shell being placed into the barrel rather than the magazine tube.

Launchers

AT4

The M136 AT4 unguided rocket launcher has been seen in a official multi-player video and some other confirmed videos as well. In one multi-player video it appears they named the launcher a "AT4-HS". "HS" most likely is abbreviated for "Heat-Seeking" and is also how it was able to guide it's way to a moving aircraft but can still be counter measured by flares.

FGM-148 Javelin

An FGM-148 Javelin launcher seems to be another available launcher for use in Multiplayer. While the multiplayer version has limited ammo, the singleplayer version has infinite ammo. Unlike the real thing (and the MW1 version) the Javelin is able to lock on to helicopters. Used by the Russians.

I believe the Javelin has a direct fire mode that can be used to engage low flying helicopters (same fire mode was used in War of the Worlds and Cloverfield). However, in the game, the player still use top attack mode on the Mi-28s, which is not the proper way to use Javelins to engage helicopters.--Wildcards 19:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Actually the Javelin ingame (when locked on to helicopters) shows on the HUD that it's firing in direct-fire mode, but ingame it is only coded to do top-down attacks. Nohomers48 04:34, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Knight's Armament Masterkey

The Knight's Armament Masterkey shotgun is frequently seen mounted to rifles as an underslung shotgun like the M203. It is mostly attached to the FN FAL or SCAR-H assault rifles, but is sometimes seen on other weapons. Carries 7 shells in single player (most likely impossible to hold in such a small weapon), or 4 shells in multiplayer in the tubular magazine, and is unlocked for assault rifles after 20 M203 kills in multiplayer.

Mounted

GE M134 Minigun

GE M134 Miniguns are mounted on Humvees and is used by the player. In the "Wolverines!" level and in multiplayer, it is the platform for the M5 sentry gun auto-turret. Several dismantled ones can be found in Makarov's safehouse, and some are mounted (like M249 SAW's were in the original game) in some multiplayer maps.They can also be seen mounted on the Shadow Company SUVs. In some levels it fires explosive rounds.

M2 Browning Machine gun

The Browning M2 is seen mounted on a Brazilian Technical truck during the levels where the Brazilian Militia are encountered. It can be used in one instance of killing the former users but is near suicidal to do so. Like on many mounted weapons, it will overheat on continuous fire. They also appear mounted on the Stryker vehicle and the Abrams tank. (Note the lack of ammo box or bullets).
