When the bullet reaches range A, the damage each bullet does will start to gradually drop from maximum damage, until you reach range B. At this point the bullet is at minimum damage, and will continue at that damage infinately. 2000 units = 50 meters. To be clear, a silencer does NOT make a gun less powerful or decrease minimum damage. It only decreases range. -Rate of Fire- Measured in "Rounds per Minute. -Sway- sway is movement of a gun's sight when you are not moving. Not all guns have it, but it is noticable on those who do. [2.0] =============== Assault Rifles ================ [2.1] ======= M16A4 ======= |==================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |------------------------------------------------------------------| |40 - 30 | 1500-2000 | 500 - 1000 | 925 RPM | 2 Seconds | | | | | |(3.365 Empty)| |==================================================================| Description: A 3-shot burst gun that kill in one burst at close range. Good damage makes it work well with a silencer. Can one-burst-kill from the hip with steady aim. Recoil Notes: - No sway - Very little recoil - sights reset themselves after each burst Quirks: The delay between bursts cuts the M16A4's effective rate of fire to 450 RPM. Recommended Attachments: Red dot sight Silencer Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Deep Impact Steady Aim [2.2] ======= AK-47 ======= |==================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |------------------------------------------------------------------| |40 - 30 | 1500-2000 | 500 - 1000 | 700 RPM | 2.5 Seconds | | | | | |(3.25 Empty) | |==================================================================| Description: High-powered assault rifle that works extremely well in medium to close range because of it's high power and relatively low recoil. Recoil Notes: - Has sway. - Gun APPEARS to have high recoil, but in reality the sight levels itself off before firing off the next round. - Noticeable kick, though so best fired in bursts or manual single-shot over long ranges. Quirks: This gun is an odd one. For some reason, the gun's damage decreases to 40-20 when used with a Red Dot or Silencer. For maximum damage use with no attachments, grenade launcher, or ACOG scope. Also, the AK-47's grenade launcher comes with a view finder. Some people testify that they aim better with the grenade launcher attached because of this. It's really all up to personal preference, though. Recommended Attachments: Nothing Grenade Launcher ACOG Scope Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Steady Aim [2.3] ==== M4 ==== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |30 - 20 | 1500-2000 | 500 - 1000 | 850 RPM | 2.03 Seconds | | | | | |(3.36 Empty) | |===================================================================| Description: Jack of all trades gun that is accurate at long ranges, and has a good rate of fire for close quarters combat. Gets beat by long ranged rifles at long range, and SMGs at close range. Good iron sights and high rate of fire for close encounters mean the gun works well silenced. Works well with many perks due to its versatility. Recoil Notes: - Has major sway. - Has almost no actual recoil, but you'll have to readjust every few seconds because the gun's sway can move you off target. Quirks: None to speak of. What you see is what you get. Recommended Attachments: Red Dot Sight Silencer Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Double Tap Deep Impact UAV Jammer Dead Silence [2.4] ==== G3 ==== |=====================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |40 - 30 | 1500-2000 | 500 - 1000 | Single shot, | 2.75 Seconds | | | | | Up to 1200 RPM | (3.75 Empty) | |=====================================================================| Description: Medium-power long-ranged rifle. less recoil, less damage. Works surprisingly well in Close quarters engagements from the hip, especially with Steady Aim. Great iron sights make this gun good with a grenade launcher. Recoil Notes: - No sway. - No kickback in any direction, as the sight levels off before you can fire off another round. - sight levels before you can fire off another round. - Very little kickback with ACOG Scope. Quirks: Silenced G3 has an erroneously long Melee Delay, longer than the stabbing animation, so the melee attack does not work. Recommended Attachments: Grenade Launcher Red Dot Sight ACOG Scope [2.5] ====== G36C ====== |==================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |------------------------------------------------------------------| |30 - 20 | 1500-2000 | 500 - 1000 | 750 RPM | 2.1 Seconds | | | | | |(2.967 Empty)| |==================================================================| Description: Basically the same as the M4, except with a lower rate of fire, longer reload time, and noticably more kickback. So why bother? Read on. Recoil Notes: - Has very little sway (explained in more detail below) - Noticable kickback. Quirks: The G36C has noticably less sway (70% the amount and nearly half the speed of the M4 when standing) than the other automatic assault rifles. The amount of sway lowers even further as you crouch or go prone. By the time you're prone, the gun has almost no sway, and the sway it does have is extremely slow. This works with all the G36C's attachments, including the ACOG Scope. Recommended Attachments: ACOG Scope Recommended Perks Stopping Power Steady Aim (You need it on any automatic gun you're using an AGOC with) [2.6] ===== M14 ===== |=====================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |50 - 40 | 1500-2000 | 500 - 1000 | Single shot, | 2.5 Seconds | | | | | Up to 1200 RPM | (3.06 Empty) | |=====================================================================| Description: Higher-powered version of the G3 with more kickback. Recoil Notes: - No sway - The M14 has much more kickback than the G3. As a result, if you hit the fire button as fast as you can, you'll end up firing subsequent rounds in the middle of the gun's kick, making you lucky to hit anything. In order to be accurate, you must wait for the gun's sight to level off (which it will do automatically). Quirks: None to speak of. What you see is what you get. Recommended Attachments: Red Dot Sight Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Deep Impact [2.7] ====== MP44 ====== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |40 - 30 | 1500-2000 | No Silencer | 600 RPM | 2.75 Seconds | | | | | | (3.5 Empty) | |===================================================================| Description: A nostalgic call back to the gun that owned so hard in Call of Duty 1-3. Basically a slower-firing AK-47 with no attachments. Recoil Notes: - No sway - High Recoil - High Kick back, but only after the first couple rounds. Should be fired in bursts. Quirks: It's got no attachments!! Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Steady Aim [3.0] ================= Submachine Guns ================= [3.1] ===== MP5 ===== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |40 - 20 | 750 - 1000 | 350 - 700 | 800 RPM | 2.3 Seconds | | | | | | (3.3 Empty) | |===================================================================| Description: Extremely high-powered (for a submachine gun) SMG with a relatively low rate of fire. Excellent in close quarters, recoil makes it difficult to use at long ranges. Recoil Notes: - No sway - Moerate recoil in a cluster around your sight - Fire in very small bursts or manual single shot for long range fire fights. Quirks: None to speak of. It's a very good gun, though. Recommended Attachments: Red Dot sight Silencer Recommended perks: Stopping power Steady Aim Last stand [3.2] ========== Skorpion ========== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |50 - 20 | 200 - 400 | 100 - 300 | 850 RPM | 2.4 Seconds | | | | | | (2.67 Empty)| |===================================================================| Description: Odd gun with extremely high damage at extremely close range, and one of the weakest guns everywhere else. Extremely small clip size. Works surprisingly well with an ACOG (probably due to low recoil) Recoil notes: - No sway. - Almost no kickback or recoil. - Higher kickback with a red dot sight. - Very little kickback with an ACOG scope. Quirks: Nothing that doesn't show up in the statistics. Worth noting is that the gun's range is so dismally small by default that there's really no reason not to use a silencer. Recommended Attachments: Silencer ACOG Scope Recommended Perks: Bandolier Stopping power Sleight of Hand Steady Aim [3.3] ========== Mini Uzi ========== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |30 - 20 | 750 - 1000 | 350 - 700 | 950 RPM | 2.4 Seconds | | | | | | (3.5 Empty) | |===================================================================| Description: Extremely fast-firing SMG. Good in close quarters combat. Recoil notes: - No sway - Small kickback; not enough to be noticable at close range, but it should be fired in bursts for long ranged fighting. Quirks: None to speak of. Recommended Attachments: Red Dot Sight Silencer Recommended Perks: Juggernaut Sleight of Hand Steady Aim Last Stand [3.4] ======== AK-74u ======== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |40 - 20 | 750 - 1000 | 350 - 700 | 800 RPM | 2.5 Seconds | | | | | | (3.25 Empty)| |===================================================================| Description: High powered Submachine gun that resembles an assault rifle more than an SMG. Recoil notes: - Only Submachine gun with sway. - Recoil similar to the MP5 (cluster around your sight). Quirks: When equipped with a silencer or red dot has the hip accuracy of the assault rifles (less accurate than normal) Recommended Attachments: Nothing Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Double tap Steady Aim [3.5] ===== P90 ===== |===================================================================| |Damage | Range | Range Silenced | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |30 - 20 | 750 - 1000 | 350 - 700 | 925 RPM | 2.8 Seconds | | | | | | (3.5 Empty) | |===================================================================| Description: SMG with a large 50 round clip, little recoil, and a great rate of fire. Has earned a dubious repuation as a "noob" gun. Recoil Notes: - No sway. - Low recoil. - Fantastic iron sight. - Basically no kickback. with a red dot scope it appears to have some, but it levels off before firing off the next round. - Best when sprayed in close quarters, bursted at long ranges. Quirks: None. It USED to have 75% more sprint than the other SMGs, but this has been patched out of the game. Recommended Attachments: Red Dot sight Silencer Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Juggernaut Double Tap Steady Aim [4.0] ==================== Light Machine Guns ==================== [4.1] ========== M249 SAW ========== |=====================================| |Damage | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |-------------------------------------| |30 | 925 RPM | 6.45 Seconds | |=====================================| Description: The Default Light Machine Gun. Like all LMGs, it's great for camping and laying down lots of fire. Recoil Notes: - No sway - Low recoil, unlike other LMGs (meaning you don't necessarily need a grip). Quirks: The SAW with a Grip has improved Hip Accuracy (Between the assault rifle and SMG hip accuracies). Recommended Attachments: Red Dot sight Grip Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Sleight of hand Deep Impact [4.2] ===== RPD ===== |====================================| |Damage | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |------------------------------------| |40 | 700 RPM | 9.7 Seconds | |====================================| Description: A LMG with more damage, but more recoil and a slower rate of fire than the M249 SAW. Recoil Notes: - No sway. - High kickback. - Best used with grip. Quirks: None. Recommended Attachments: Grip Recommended Perks: Stopping Power Sleight of hand Deep Impact [4.3] ===== M60 ===== |===================================================| |Damage | Range | Rate of Fire | Reload Time | |---------------------------------------------------| |50 - 40 | 1000 - 1500 | 600 RPM | 9.7 Seconds | |===================================================| Desctiption: Super High powered LMG with huge recoil. Doesn't need Stopping power until long ranges. Best when used manual single shot. Recoil Notes: - No sway. - High recoil. - High kickback in all directions. - Easily used in a manual single shot. Quirks: None. Recommended Attachments: Red Dot Sight ACOG Scope Recommended Perks: Sleight of hand Deep Impact Steady Aim **NOTE** I will NOT be giving detailed descriptions on the shot guns, sniper rifles, or pistols. There just isn't much to say that can't be said in a chart.
