Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (also known as CoD:MW3 or MW3) is the eighth installment of the Call of Duty series, and the third main entry in the Modern Warfare sub-franchise, continuing the story of Modern Warfare 2. The game has variously been developed by Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, and will be published by Activision for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The following weapons are featured in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3:

Note: spoilers may be present in some descriptions

Handguns

FN Five-seveN

As of now, the FN Five-seveN incorrectly holds 15 rounds instead of 20. It is held one handed in a manner similar to the "Glock 18" from Modern Warfare 2 and the ASP from Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Yuri finishes off the hyena, vowing to never speak of this again. Note the slide already in partial recoil; the muzzle flash has not appeared yet. This despite that Yuri has clearly not pulled the trigger.

Heckler & Koch USP45

The H&K USP45 returns and can be seen on a character's back in the multiplayer world premiere trailer. It is sometimes equipped with an under-barrel mounted flashlight.

Walther P99

Glock 18C

The Glock 18C can used in the game; the model shown has a flared magazine well. It incorrectly holds 20 rounds in a 31 round magazine, and has a rather strange rear sight.

Undeterred by this, he's soon using his Glock to blow a Russian patrol boat in half. One-handed, no less.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
MW3's weapons often feature oversized trademarks; this makes sense when it is done for advertising, but the Glock is clearly designed to avoid using Glock's logo or even their name, hence this apparently being a "Gluke" pistol.

MP-412 REX

The MP-412 REX has been seen in screenshots of the class menu and is referred to as the "MP412". Like its counterpart in the Battlefield: Bad Company series and Battlefield Play4Free, the weapon is depicted without the automatic extractor which is supposed to operate when the frame is broken open; instead the spend casings are ejected manually by tilting the frame.

Colt Anaconda

The Colt Anaconda returns as the ".44 Magnum" in the game and is unlocked at level 46 in multiplayer. It appears to have wooden or Hogue grips.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX has been seen in gameplay footage. Unlike in MW2, where it had a Picatinny-rail barrel, it has the standard Mark XIX barrel with scope mounts. The gun also has tritium night sights.

Springfield Armory Professional 1911

The SA Professional 1911 appears in the hands of Price in gameplay of the Prague level, however is unknown if it can be used by the player, or in the multiplayer.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

The H&K MP5A2 is a new weapon shown in the screenshots. In the screenshot, the MP5A2 rail system seems to be modeled after the real life Knights Armament rail system for the MP5.

Assault Rifles & Battle Rifles

Colt M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 model used in the game features flip-up iron sights, a Magpul MOE Carbine Stock, a Magpul 20-round STANAG magazine and a customized charging handle. It can be equipped with a SureShot reflex sight, EOTech XPS Holographic sight, EOTech flip-to-side magnifier and / or a RIS foregrip. Some NPCs seen in the 'Reveal' trailer were instead carrying the M4A1 model used in Modern Warfare 2, though this is likely to simply have been a recycled model used during development. As in many games, the fire selector is shown on semi-auto even though the weapon fires in full-auto.

Recent footage shows the player will be able to manually operate the flip-to-side magnifier at will.

Colt CM901

The Colt CM901 was first seen used by the player character in the Spec-Ops' Survival mode trailer, later seen used in gameplay footage of the Call of Duty: XP event. It is seen fitted with a shorter barrel, EOTech XPS Holographic sight, EOTech flip-to-side magnifier, and a Magpul 20LR PMAG.

"AK-74u"

The fake AKS-74U from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare seems to have returned to its second sequel. The mix and mash of different Kalashnikovs appears in game still being incorrectly referred to as an "AK-74u", which doesn't exist, and will probably be incorrectly called a submachine gun. It is modeled on the JG "AK Beta-F" airsoft rifle, which is an AKS-47 with a very, very short front end, an AKS-74U gas block/front sight, flash hider, and rear sight, and black polymer furniture with an RIS rail on the handguard. The version in game appears to have bakelite magazines, which led to some to believe it actually was a 74, however the curve of the magazine give away that it is in fact based on a 47.

Remington ACR

The Remington ACR has been spotted in the recent trailer for Call of Duty's 'Elite' service. In the Spec Ops Survival trailer, "ACR 6.8" is listed as a purchasable weapon, implying that the in-game version is chambered in 6.8mm SPC.

Hybrid G36 KV / G36V

The Heckler & Koch G36KV is used as an LMG in the game and is incorrectly dubbed the "MG36". As in Far Cry, it features a 4-vent K-variant handguard with a full-length G36 barrel sticking out of it.

FAD Assault Rifle

A FAD Assault Rifle, a Peruvian proposal for a new bullpup rifle, can be used in the game, and is seen in the hands of African militiamen in Sierra Leone. It fires in 3-round burst mode when the fire button is tapped, while holding produces fully automatic fire. The magazine well has "Cal 5.56 NATO 6.8 SPC" printed on it.

The player character starts the first mission with a Heckler & Koch XM25. It is shown very inaccurately, simply firing proximity / impact detonated rounds with none of the real weapon's HEAB functionality, and rather than being semi-automatic it is bolt-action with the player character operating the charging handle after every shot.

Yuri takes command of a rusty M2HB mounted on a technical in Sierra Leone. Note that while the section of the belt between the ammo box and the gun moves when the M2 is fired, the rounds in the box itself are static.

DShK Heavy Machine Gun

The DShK heavy machine gun was first seen in the 'Reveal' trailer, mounted on a Russian T-90 main battle tank (despite the real-life T-90 being equipped with either the NSV or Kord heavy machine guns) during a huge battle in Germany. In the latest multiplayer trailer, a possible DShK is mounted on an M5-like sentry gun auto turret.

Yuri runs past a series of mounted DShK machine guns near the end of "Persona Non Grata;" note the incorrect solid muzzle brakes.

Dillon Aero M134 Minigun

The Dillon Aero M134 Minigun is an emplaced weapon returns from the previous Modern Warfare titles, and was seen first in the "Reveal" trailer, later on E3's gameplay demo. it should be noted that the minigun is incorrectly mounted on the right doorway of the UH-60 Black Hawk instead of directly on its right window. This mistake also appears in Modern Warfare 2. The Minigun can be also seen mounted as an M5 sentry gun auto-turret like in Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Westbrook uses the Blackhawk's minigun as the helicopter is chased by multiple Hind gunships. Note the weapon still uses the classic machine gun crosshair from the first game's MG42.

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2

Hind helicopters in the game seem to be a fictional variant of the export Hind-E (Mi-35M), armed with both a chin-mounted single-barrel Gsh-23 23mm cannon and a twin Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K mounted on the right-hand side of the fuselage.

A look at the underside of a Hind as Westbrook climbs a ladder shows it to be the configuration kids build when they have a model Hind with instructions to use one gun or the other.
