Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The Following weapons appear in this game:
WARNING: Major plot spoilers in some of the weapon descriptions.
Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 appears in the game, and is used by Sgt. Paul Jackson and many of the Marines and enemies as their standard sidearm. It is a relatively weak pistol, but has the highest magazine capacity of 15 rounds of 9mm and the lowest recoil allowing quick follow up shots.
H&K USP45
The H&K USP45 appears in this game as the sidearm of Sgt. "Soap" McTavish and many other SAS soldiers in the game. It has a underbarrel flashlight that is unused in the game. It uses .45 ACP rounds in a 12 round magazine. It's recoil, capacity and stopping power make this gun the most balanced in classes, being slightly more powerful than the M9, but not as powerful as the M1911A1 or Desert Eagle.
Kimber Desert Warrior M1911
The Kimber Desert Warrior appears in this game and is used by Sgt. Paul Jackson in the level "Shock and Awe", and by Sgt. "Soap" McTavish in some levels as a sidearm. Cpt. Price and one of the villains, Viktor Zakhaev carry this pistol as well, and Viktor uses it to commit suicide with. Cpt. Price slides his to "Soap" McTavish at the end of the game and uses it to kill Imran Zakhaev and his two bodyguards. It has a seven round magazine (although eight in multiplayer) holding .45 ACP rounds giving it great stopping power. It's low capacity means it is more of a power gun like the Desert Eagle except far more accurate and controllable.
It's far more likely the gun was based off of a Springfield Armory Custom Professional, as there is no accessory rail and the trigger is match grade, as well as other cosmetic similarities.
Fact: This is based on the MEU(SOC) .45 pistol. The MEU(SOC) pistol, officially designated Pistol, Caliber .45, MEU(SOC), is an air-cooled, magazine-fed, recoil-operated, single-action, semiautomatic handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It is based on the original M1911 design by John Browning, and has been the standard-issue side arm for the Force Recon Element of the United States Marine Corps' Marine Expeditionary Units from 1985 to today. Its National Stock Number is 1005-01-370-7353
M1911A1
A M1911A1 can be seen in the level, "Game Over", as used by Staff Sergeant Griggs when he attempts to pull Soap MacTavish to safety, before he switches to his M249 and is shot in the shoulder. It is unknown why the game developers didn't equip Griggs with the Kimber Desert Warrior, since the M1911A1 is unusable ingame. M1911 can also be seen in the armory in the level F.N.G. The M1911A1 makes no other appearances throughout the game. [1]
IMI Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle appears in this game and is the most powerful pistol holding 7 shots but having the most recoil and the least accuracy. Two of the main villains, Khaled Al-Asad, and Imran Zakhaev, carry this pistol as their weapon of choice. Al-Asad uses his to kill President Al-Fulahni on TV. In single-player it is only usable once on the level "Crew Expendable" when a man with two of them jumps you on the ship. In split screen multilayer, it is a usable sidearm. However, it is locked in online multilayer until the player reaches the high rank of brigadier general.
Winchester M1200
The Winchester 1200 appears in this game as the "W1200" and is used by some of the Marines and many enemies throughout the game. Gaz pulls out a Model 1200 in the "Crew Expendable" level, saying he likes to keep it "for close encounters". It is powerful at close range, but is slow to reload. Lt.Vasquez carries one without the stock on his back although he never uses it.
Benelli M4 Super 90
The Benelli M4 Super 90 appears in this game as the "M1014", and has a higher rate of fire than the W1200, but in multiplayer, has a lower magazine capacity, and like the W1200, has a slow reload time. It is used by some Marines and by Soap McTavish in the "Safehouse" level.
CZ Skorpion SA
The Skorpion SA appears in this game, and is used by some enemies. It has poor range and a small 20 round magazine of .32 ACP but near no muzzle climb, Great close range damage, and an extreme rate of fire makes it great for CQB(Close quarters battle)
IMI Mini Uzi 9mm
The Mini Uzi appears in this game, and is also used by many enemies. It fires 9mm rounds from a 32 round magazine at a high rate of fire, making its accuracy poor but its close quarters power great. Zakhaev's son uses one while escorting Al-Fulani to his execution, and while running from Soap, Griggs and Gaz right up until the end.
H&K MP5 9mm
The H&K MP5A3 appears in this game and is used by Sgt. "Soap" McTavish (the player) and some of the SAS Operatives, and is also used by some of the enemies. The H&K MP5SD is also wielded by the player and some SAS Operatives in the prologue and epilogue levels. The SD model is fitted with a sound suppresor. The MP5 fires 9mm rounds from a 30 round magazine and is extremely accurate for a submachine gun. It is probably the best to use for multiple situations.
PPSH
Although never seen or used in-game, many of the statues throughout the games's campaign and multiplayer levels hold a cement version of the Russian PPSH.
M92 Krinkov
The M92 appears in this game as 'The AK-74U' which is incorrect. Ingame the weapon has an under-folding stock, while one of the main requirements of the AK-74U series is a triangular side-folding stock. It is used by some enemies and allied Russian soldiers in the game. The character Nikolai uses one as his weapon of choice in the levels that he appears in. It is a scaled down AK-74 put under the class of submachine gun, firing 5.45mm rounds from a 30 round magazine. It has decent accuracy and high damage for a submachine gun which makes it a versatile weapons platform for most situations.
FN P90 TR
The FN P90 TR, a version of the P90 with three accessory rails appears in the game, and is a rarely seen weapon (it is occasionally used by some of the enemies). Its sole "special" appearance is in "All Ghillied Up" as the P90SD (with suppressor and red dot sight), while in "Heat" and the epilogue mission "Mile High Club" it is simply the P90, unsuppressed and using open rail iron sights. In all versions it fires 5.7x28mm rounds from a 50-round magazine. It is moderately accurate for an SMG but powerful. Its high rate of fire and large magazine capacity make it very useful.
M16A4
The M16A4 appears in the game, used by many of the US Marines. One of the characters, Lt. Vasquez, who is Sgt. Jackson's commander in the US levels, carries an M16A4/M203 combo as his weapon of choice. In single player it is full-auto firing 5.56x45mm rounds from a 30 round magazine while in multiplayer it fires from a 3 round burst mode. It is also available with a 40mm single-shot M203 grenade launcher. The grenade has a safety system in which it will not arm itself until it is far from the shooter making it a dud at close range. Very poor for close-quarters combat but devastating at ranges of around 50 yards. It is an accurate and powerful rifle and is highly recommended for use at medium-far ranges.
AK-47
The AK-47 appears in the game, and is used by most of the enemies and allied Russian soldiers. It fires 7.62x39mm rounds in a 30 round magazine. Some of them have GP-25 Kostyor 40mm muzzle loaded Grenade Launchers mounted on them. They feature a similar detonation safety as the M203 rounds meaning they are not recommended for close quarters. It is powerful and some-what accurate and is the equivalent to the M16 rifle.
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 Carbine appears in the multi-player game with iron sights (which can be replaced with a red dot sight or ACOG scope), but appears in the single-player game only in three specialized versions: 1. The "normal" M4A1, used by the U.S. Marines in their missions and Soap in the final mission of the story with a Tasco red dot scope (exclusive to those missions) and forward handgrip (with no statistical effect unlike the multiplayer attachment for shotguns and machine guns), 2. the M4A1 Grenadier, which uses a EOTech Holographic Weapon Sight (exclusive to "The Bog," "War Pig," and "Shock and Awe" single-player missions) and M203 grenade launcher, 3. and the M4A1 SOPMOD, used by the SAS with a red dot sight (the one used in multi-player), a suppressor, and the M203 grenade launcher.
The M4A1 is a full automatic fire capable carbine version of the M16 rifle and is a little less powerful and accurate due to the shortened barrel. Everything else is relatively the same.
H&K G3A4
The H&K G3A4 appears in this game and, like the AK-47, is used by many of the enemies in the game. In Single-Player, it fires full-auto, while in multiplayer, it is semi-auto. While it is very powerful it also has a higher recoil than most guns in full auto. It fires the 7.62x51mm NATO round which differs from the AK's 7.62x39 M43 round. When operating, be sure to use short, controlled bursts or single shots to help compensate for the heavy recoil.
H&K G36
The H&K G36C appears in this game and is used by the SAS, the allied Russian soldiers in "Safehouse" and many enemies late in the game. It has a Tasco Laser Scope in single player and open sights in multiplayer. It comes with a 30 round 5.56mm magazine. It has almost no recoil, and is the steadiest fully automatic weapon in the game, but does the same damage as the M4
M14 Rifle
The M14 Rifle appears in multiplayer only in the game with a Knights Armaments RAS [Rail Adapter System] Fore end, an RAS scope mount, and heat shields on the side rails. It fires 7.62x51mm from a 20 round magazine and is more powerful [at the obvious price of more recoil] than the G3. It is also modified as a sniper rifle, the M21. Strangely, the M14 and M21 are pretty much the same gun, but they have different attributes in game.
Sturmgewehr 44
The Sturmgewehr 44 appears in multiplayer only and is unlocked at a high rank. It was the first true assault rifle ever created firing a 7.92 Kurz round in a 30 round curved box magazine. It is powerful but inaccurate, has high recoil and actually weighs your character down [somewhat like Machineguns do]. It is in the game as an ode to the previous COD games which the gun was featured in. It is not actually used in modern combat.
M21 SWS
The M21 SWS appears in this game in both suppressed ("M21 Suppressed") and unsuppressed versions. It is used by the SAS and Marine snipers. It is a top of the line M14 rifle fitted with a scope [and an RAS mount for that scope], Knights Armaments RAS [Rail Adapter System] Fore end, heat shields on the side rails, and a smaller 10 round magazine.
Remington 700
The Remington 700 appears in this game as the "R700", whilst it is very powerful, it has the shakiest in scope view. and frequently misses where it as actually shooting. Its heavy recoil also consumes time for a follow up shot. It is used by "Soap" McTavish in the single-player exclusively in the "Sins of the Father" mission, prior to the pursuit of Victor Zakhaev. It holds four rounds of .308(7.62x51mm). The caliber is determined based on the size of the bolt and breach. Oddly, the M40A3 also seen in game is very much the same weapon, although in the game they have slightly different attributes.
Dragunov SVD
The Dragunov SVD appears in this game and is used by all enemy snipers in the game. It was designed in the 60s as a replacement in Russia for the outdated Mosin-Nagant rifle. It is well known for its power, precision, and reliability. It's design is mainly based on the AK-47, but is chambered in 7.62x54R[immed] cartridges for increased range and power. It's weight and recoil [you have to retake breaths between shots] makes it difficult for some scenarios. It is recommended to any player common to the sniper rifle.
M40 Sniper Rifle
The M40 sniper rifle appears in multiplayer only, and is similar in performance to the R700. It is accurate and maybe less powerful. It fires 5 .308 rounds.
Barrett M82
The Barrett M82 appears in the game, unlocked in multiplayer as a portable weapon and in a single player mission as a stationary weapon (with variable zoom and unlimited ammunition), and is the most powerful sniper rifle in the game. Lieutenant Price, in the single-player mission "One Shot, One Kill", uses the Barrett M82 to shoot Zakhaev's left arm off from a mile away. The rifle was first invented after soldiers were found needing more than a single-shot .50 caliber rifle and/or bolt action. This gun allows a skilled marksman to fire off 10 rounds in 10 seconds. It is extremely accurate at long distances, powerful enough to severe limbs[but this is rare] and shoot through walls. It fires .50 BMG ([12.7x99m]) rounds from a 10 round magazine. It's 30 pound weight proves a problem in combat and in usually more useful when stationary than running cross-country.
M249 SAW
The M249 SAW appears in the game, used by the US Marines and members of the SAS (which is an innaccuracy as the SAS would use the FN Minimi, not the american M249). The M249 fires 100 or 250 round belt boxes of 5.56x45mm rounds at a rate of 850 RPM. It's accuracy is moderate and power weak, but is great for support. The weapon itself replaced the use of two M16A2 rifles in the typical US Army squad adding supplemental automatic fire to the A2's 3 round burst hence the designation Squad Automatic Weapon. Also the weapon can use M16 magazines, increasing its effectiveness.
Degtaryev RPD
The Degtaryev RPD Light Machine Gun appears in the game, and is the LMG used by the enemies in the game. It fires 7.62x39mm rounds from a 100 round belt box. It is loud, accurate, and intimidating. After a long period of service it was replaced, in the 1960s, by the RPK light machine gun which was itself an evolution of the conventional Kalashnikov design.
M60E3
The M60E3 appears in the "Last Stand" at the end of the game used by one of the soldiers accompanying Zakhaev, and usable in the last level if you kill the first driver pulling up to the destroyed bridge. He jumps out armed with one ready for your use. It is also more common in multiplayer. It fires .308 rounds from a 100 round belt box. The M60 was first used in Vietnam and had several problems. The M60E1's barrel overheated quickly requiring frequent changes, and the removal of the barrel required some disassembly of the weapon. The barrel had no way to remove it except to grab directly to the barrel(which would be most likely red hot). It also was somewhat unreliable. (No soldiers were complaining though because they no longer had to lug their 30 lb. 1919s anymore.) The M60E2 was a mounted gun that was no different than the E1 in function. The M60E3 had a shortened barrel, a more reliable system, a foregrip, and an easy to remove barrel. Although the shorter barrel overheated even faster, the easy removal system made it less of a hassle. The game incorrectly refers to it as the M60E4, which has a much shorter barrel than the one featured on the E3.
M18A1 Claymore Mine
The M18A1 Claymore Mine appears as a weapon the player can set for ambushing enemies. The claymore is directional, firing 100s of steel balls forward at the victim, killing whatever steps in front of it. (Hence stamp on side back saying "BACK" and front side saying "FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY".)
GE M134 Minigun
The GE M134 Minigun appears as a player-usable stationary weapon mounted on a downed helicopter in "Heat" and is used by a door gunner on a Blackhawk in both the prologue level and in "The Sins of The Father" level. The minigun holds the world record for cyclic rate in a weapon using an functioning action (Metal storm holds the new title for non-function as all rounds are fired at once in stacks). It fires at a rate ranging from 3000-6000 RPM depending on model. It fires either .308(7.62x51mm) or .223(5.56x45mm) also depending on model.
It should be noted that in the game, when "Soap" is covering his unit's withdrawal using the minigun in the crashed Blackhawk, the weapon should not be working. When mounted on an aircraft the weapon is hooked into the aircraft's electrical system otherwise it would require a large external battery.
FGM-148 Javelin
The FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank guided missile launcher is used in the single-player missions "The Bog" and "Heat" to destroy enemy tanks; it is single-shot, requires a lock-on to fire and can only lock onto (and thus fire at) those tanks, but in-game these units holds unlimited missiles.
Mk 19 40mm grenade launcher
The Mk 19 grenade launcher appears as a player usable weapon mounted on a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter. It was first developed in Vietnam and fires 40mm grenades off of a belt link. It overheated very rapidly though and is recommended for use in single shots.
FIM-92 Stinger Missile Launcher
This weapon is useable in the single-player campaign as an SAS operative. Its used by Sergeant "Soap" McTavish to shoot down an enemy helicopter.
RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
The RPG-7 is commonly seen in enemy hands in game.
RPG-27 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
The RPG-27 is seen strapped to the packs of several terrorist.
M136 AT4
Some Marine NPCs have M136 AT4 strapped to their packs. It cannot be used in game, but was originally intended to be.
M67 Frag Grenade
The frag grenades seen in game.
