Model 1887

The Model 1887 is a lever-action shotgun featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Single player
The Model 1887 is used by the Ultranationalists in their armories in Loose Ends and the Militia in combat during The Hornet's Nest and in some cases Takedown. It can also be found in the Museum.

Multiplayer
The Model 1887 is unlocked at level 67, making it the last unlocked shotgun. Prior to the patches, it was considered to be the most powerful shotgun available. It had the longest range and the option to use Akimbo, which countered its rather slow fire-rate. The 1.07 patch decreased the range of the Akimbo 1887s drastically - this was to counter complaining that the akimbo shotguns were too powerful. However, a mistake was made during the patch which did not remove range of the Blinged FMJ and Akimbo Model 1887, which then prompted the 1.08 patch which rectified the mistake. After the 1.07 patch, the 1887 received much less use to the fact that it's outperformed by the SPAS-12 which has roughly the same range but faster rate of fire. However, the 1887 does have one advantage over the SPAS-12, FMJ on the Models actually works, unlike the SPAS-12.

Although the barrel and wooden stock of the 1887 are sawn off, it still has excellent accuracy. It is a very potent weapon on its own, especially with Stopping Power and Steady Aim, which increases the chances of a one-hit-kill. One main problem with the weapon when not using akimbo, is that it has a very slow rate of fire, due to the lever action. When used with Akimbo, its fire rate is increased, but has a range similar to the Ranger, while the single 1887 has the same range as before the patches.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The Model 1887 appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is featured in a section of the single player campaign in which the player is wielding it while driving a motorcycle. It does not appear in any other part of the game.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

 * On Infinity Ward's website, the Model 1887 was voted the most popular shotgun in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
 * In Modern Warfare 2 on snow themed maps like Derail and Sub Base, the Model 1887 gets a very strong layer of frost and ice on its surface similar to the ACR in the level Cliffhanger. Another example of this is the Ranger.
 * The addition of the Model 1887 and the Thumper to the game are references to the movie Terminator 2, as both of the weapons were used in the movie.
 * Excluding Launchers and the Riot Shield, the Model 1887, along with the Ranger, has the least number of available attachments, with only FMJ and Akimbo available.
 * The Model 1887 can often give away the player's position off in Search and Destroy and any other death objective game due to the loud cock of the gun makes when switching to it.
 * The pickup animation for the Model 1887 shows its lever action loading a shell into the barrel.
 * The Model 1887 is the only Modern Warfare 2 shotgun that uses blue shells.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

 * In the Call of Duty: Black Ops Single Player Trailer, the Model 1887 is shown being fired from a motorcycle in a sewage canal. This is a reference to Terminator 2 where the Terminator uses a Model 1887 in the same situation.
 * The way the shotgun is used in the picture above is similar to the way the G18 is used in the Modern Warfare 2 level Cliffhanger, as it is used one handed while riding a vehicle.
