Model 1887

The Model 1887 is a lever-action shotgun featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Campaign
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, and is unlocked much sooner.

Although the wooden stock of the 1887 is sawn off, it still has average 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 briefly appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops, where it is used during "Vorkuta" in conjunction with a motorbike. It does not appear in any other part of the game, and now fires two shots before cocking.

It can also be obtained using the "give all" cheat in the console commands on the PC version of the game. It seems to use the same reload animation and firing sound as the SPAS-12.

The Model 1887 reuses it's model from Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The Model 1887 has been confirmed to reappear in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was first confirmed after being seen in a demo of Survival Mode.

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.
 * The Model 1887 is the oldest firearm in the Call of Duty Franchise.
 * In Call of Duty: 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.
 * 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 cocking noise 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 ten-gauge shotgun in the entire Call of Duty series, which are primarily twelve-gauge.
 * The player reloads the 1887 by placing the shells into the barrel, and not the tube magazine directly below the barrel.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

 * The way the shotgun is used in the picture above is similar to the way the G18 is used in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 level "Cliffhanger", and the Mini-Uzi in Endgame as it is used one handed while riding a vehicle.
 * This is one of the two shotguns that are exclusive to Singleplayer in Black Ops, the other one being the KS-23.
 * It should be noted that the gun is fired twice before being cocked, and it's going to fire both shots even without releasing the trigger.
 * This is the only shotgun that uses blue shells, while all other shotguns use red shells.
 * This shotgun is very powerful as one shot can destroy a truck.
 * Notice that the Model 1887 has the same animations as the SPAS-12
 * The Model 1887 was going to appear in Payback, Redemption, and Rebirth, but was cut before the game was released. It was most likely replaced by the KS-23. The coding can still be found.
 * The Model 1887 was going to be available for online multiplayer. It's code, "mp_m1887" is still in the games files.
 * The abnormally tiny cross-hairs of the Model 1887 are the same as the V-R11
