== Weapons == === Assault Rifles === ===== M16 ===== *Damage 40 - 30 *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m - 25m silenced *Fire Rate 925 rpm (3 round burst). Overall, 450 rpm due to the time delay between bursts. *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs.Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 30/60 start, 30/180 max *Recoil low cluster *Reload Time 2.1/2.3 *Penetration medium Standard service rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces. Fires a 3-round burst. With the Stopping Power perk, this rifle is pretty much a guaranteed one-burst kill if you can land all three shots on your target. Definitely not recommended for the aggressive, run-and-gun player, but one of the deadliest guns in the game for those who like to hang back a little and engage in medium-long range fire. Players are looked down on for using it because most players considier it to be a nooby gun. ===== AK-47 ===== *Damage 40 - 30, 40 - 20 with red dot/silencer *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m - 25m silenced *Fire Rate 700 rpm *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs.Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 30/60 start, 30/180 max *Recoil low/moderate cluster *Reload Time 2.7/3.3 *Penetration medium Still the most iconic and best-selling assault rifle worldwide. Fires on full auto. The rifle has a noticeable vertical kick to it, but its recoil suppressor ensures that the rifle levels again before firing the next shot. Good for closer-quarters combat than the M16 or M4, but still pulls off good middle-long distance single shots. ---- ===== M4 Carbine ===== *Unlock at Rank 10 Sergeant *Damage 30 - 20 *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m - 25m silenced *Fire Rate 850 rpm *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs. Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 30/60 start, 30/180 max *Recoil low cluster *Reload Time 2.2/2.5 *Penetration medium Standard service carbine of the U.S. Armed Forces, preferred weapon of the Marine Corps. Fires on full-auto. This is one of the most popular guns you'll see on most servers, since it can lay a lot of bullets on a target in a very short amount of time with minimal recoil. On paper it's not very powerful, but if you aim it carefully it'll drop enemies in short order. If you just can't seem to draw a bead on moving targets with the burst-fire M16, switch to the M4 and you should get better results. This one does just about everything you'll want it to, except for maybe max-range sniping and super-fast ninja-ing. ---- ===== Heckler & Koch G3 ===== *Unlock at Rank 25 2nd Lieutenant *Damage 40 - 30 *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m - 25m silenced *Fire Rate 1200 rpm *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs. Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 20/40 start, 20/120 max *Recoil very low cluster *Reload Time 2.9/4.0 *Penetration medium Battle rifle designed in Germany and Spain; used by NATO and non-NATO militaries worldwide. CoD4 features a single-shot version of the rifle. Don't let the low fire rate score fool you; the rifle will fire about as fast as you can click your mouse, making Double Tap redundant. The combined accuracy and damage on this gun make it sort of a mini-sniper rifle limited only by how sharp your eye is or, if you attach an ACOG, how steady your hand is. With Stopping Power, two consecutive shots will drop a target. Take advantage of the accuracy and go for headshots when you can. Not recommended at all for close quarters, since the poor running accuracy can cripple you. You don't get many shots with this gun, so consider bulking your ammo with Bandolier. ---- ===== Heckler & Koch G36C ===== *Unlock at Rank 37 Lieutenant Colonel *Damage 30 - 20 *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m - 25m silenced *Fire Rate 750 rpm *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs. Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 30/60 start, 30/180 max *Recoil moderate cluster *Reload Time 2.3/3.1 *Penetration medium The compact version of the G36, a successor to the G3 used in militaries worldwide. Fires in full-auto. This rifle tends to work better in medium-close quarters. I tend not to use it because it's not as lethal close-up as the M4 and not as effective long-range as the M16 or G3. You may want to use Bandolier to bolster your ammo, because it's a spray-friendly kind of gun. It only truly shines in Hardcore modes, as it is very good at covering an area with fire. Surprisingly sleight of hand increases the lethality of this gun by an amazing amount. ---- ===== M14 ===== *Unlock at Rank 46 Major General *Damage 50 - 40 *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m - 25m silenced *Fire Rate 850 rpm *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs. Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 20/40 start, 20/120 max *Recoil high vertical *Reload Time 2.7/3.3 *Penetration large This battle rifle has been in active U.S. military service since the Korean War era. CoD4 gives you the single-shot version. I had issues with this rifle because of the fierce recoil you get after every shot (highest recoil for any assault rifle) and because you couldn't aim it as well as you could a sniper rifle, even though they have similar optimal ranges. Since then, I've tried some new things and have been able to get more out of the M14. The PFC suggested using Red Dot and aiming at the low/mid torso of an enemy, then rapidly clicking two or three times. With or without Stopping Power, this tactic works pretty damn well at middle distance, although two taps is better for long distance. This firing method will almost always walk your shots up the enemy's torso, hopefully ending in either fatal damage or a headshot. Because of the high power and range of the rifle, the silencer allows you to still operate at medium range with the added bonus of stealth. The M14 is not great for close combat or situations where you can't take your time when firing, although in theory you can fire it as fast as the G3 (limited by your clicking speed). Spamming it with hip fire at close range can get you some kills, but if you usually fight close up, choose another rifle. ---- ===== MP44 ===== *Unlock at Rank 52 General *Damage 40 - 30 *Range 37.5m - 50m, 12.5m *Fire Rate 600 rpm *Mobility 95% movement speed of SMGs. Movement speed is halfed when aiming down the sight. *Clip Size/Reserve Ammo 30/60 start, 30/180 max *Recoil moderate/high vertical *Reload Time 3.0/3.7 *Penetration medium One of the first true assault rifles, developed by the German Army during World War II. Fires in full-auto. This gun is a salute to fans of the Call of Duty series throughout its WWII phase, where the MP44 was one of the best guns in the game. In CoD4, this gun is here mainly for nostalgia, although it does has superior accuracy when compared to the AK-47 it doesn't have attachments available so you would generally be better of with something else. Use it the same as the AK.
