To Damac1214: There are PLENTY of weapons from World War II and the '50s that could have been in Call of Duty: Black Ops, many of which found their way into the DS version. For example, the SKS and the MAS-49 could have been introduced. the MAT-49 is another submachine gun, and the PPSh-41 and the PPS-43 could fill in roles for Submachine guns. The Model 1887, as Lucas88bam said, is a great shotgun for use in Black Ops. For pistols, a Magnum (not THE PYTHON) could be used, and the Browning HP would have made a lovely additon, and also the Mauser 96 as a Submachine gun. The M-10 found its way into the DS version as well. As for Snipers, other sporting rifles at the time could be used, such as the M40 and the M21 may be used as Sniper rifles. The MP-40 and STG-44 ARE used in Campaign, but not in Multiplayer, where they could be used.
