CM901

"No matter where you are on the map or who you're engaging, the CM901 delivers. Customizable with a wide-array of attachments, the CM901 assault rifle performs dependably in any combat situation."

- DewXP description

The CM901 is an Assault Rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was first seen in the Spec Ops and the Call of Duty XP multiplayer reveal.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The CM901 is unlocked at level 18 in multiplayer. The CM901 is one of the deadliest assault rifles, because of its high damage, relatively clear iron sights, and good handling, with a moderate reload time. This allows it to excel in all engagements, be it far, medium, and even short ranges, where it performs with lethal force due to its high damage.

However, it should be noted that the CM901 is at a slight disadvantage compared to other assault rifles in core gametypes; other assault rifles such as the ACR 6.8 and the M4A1 boast the same three shot kill power at close range, but lower recoil and higher rate of fire, as the CM901 has the second slowest rate of fire among the assault rifles. However, using a M320 or Shotgun attachment will increase the CM901's rate of fire to 750 RPM, which is incredibly useful, as the attachments act as both an underslung weapon and Rapid Fire. They will also have the same effect even used in conjunction with another attachment, when using the Attachments weapon proficiency. This will be fixed in a new update.

Because of its bulky (although open) iron sights, the Red Dot Sight and Holographic Sight are useful, though not necessary. The Silencer is also effective, since the CM901 has high minimum damage, taking four shots to kill at range.

Due to its rather high recoil, the Kick proficiency is recommended for effective use, especially for targets at range or behind heavy cover. Apart from that, Attachments is useful to create a setup to the player's preference and Focus to reduce flinch when getting shot.

Trivia

 * The logo is visible on the right side of the back of the charging handle.
 * The CM901 in the Survival Mode trailer had a gray finish, but in the finished version has a tan/beige finish.
 * The third person model and the pickup icon of the CM901 has a grip, while the in-game model doesn't, similar to the SCAR-H in Modern Warfare 2.
 * When the Grenade Launcher or shotgun is attached to the CM901, it's rate of fire increases noticeably. This is the inverse of what happens on the FAD, where adding an underbarrel attachment decreases it's rate of fire.
 * In the Dew XP promotion it says Price's main weapon is the the CM901 and MSR despite never using them in Campaign.
 * In Survival Mode, when it has a Grenade Launcher attached, the gun is not cocked at all, however, when the CM901 has a shotgun attachment attached, it cocks exactly like an M4A1.
