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.

Multiplayer
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 actually 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 but lower recoil and higher rate of fire (the CM901 has the 2nd slowest rate of fire among the assault rifles).

Because of its bulky 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 4 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.
