MK46

The MK46 is a light machine gun that is featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The MK46 was first revealed in the footage released during Call of Duty XP.

Singleplayer
Its first usable appearance, is in "Bag and Drag", where it can be found in a GIGN armoury, and is also carried by friendly NPCs. It also appears with a Foregrip in the mission "Dust to Dust" being used by Yuri, while Truck uses one in "Scorched Earth".

Multiplayer
The MK46 is available in a default class with both a Grip and a Red Dot Sight, but is unlocked for Create-a-Class at level 54. It is also mounted on the Assault Drone point streak with a unique 50-round belt. It is a relatively versatile Machine Gun, having moderate-high power, medium recoil, good range and a high rate of fire. The Grip Attachment is very useful on this LMG, along with the Red Dot Sight because the iron sights are somewhat obstructive. Sleight of Hand is recommended, as reload time is very long at nearly 9 seconds. Quickdraw is another recommended perk, since the ADS time of the LMGs is generally the slowest among all other weapons. On top of everything, Steady Aim can also be a good choice to help with the bad hipfire spread typically found on LMG's.

Trivia

 * At Call of Duty XP, the MK46 used the MG4's HUD icon from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
 * The weapon's serial number is 82183 and its manufacturer's number is 14920.
 * As with several other Light Machine Guns, the MK46 has a faster fire rate in multiplayer than singleplayer.
 * During some Spec Ops missions, it will come attached with an ACOG scope with far less zoom than normal, being close to, if not identical, to Iron Sights zoom level.
 * After the helicopter crashes into the lift in "Dust to Dust", Yuri's MK46 can be seen with every attachment on it.
 * The MK46 and the PKP Pecheneg are the only LMGs that have their magazine affected by Gold Camouflage.
 * It is the only weapon in Modern Warfare 3 that the player doesn't take the finger off the trigger when reloading.
 * Similar to the L86 LSW, the Thermal Scope will actually severely reduce recoil caused by the MK46. This is strange because most other guns will have the opposite effect. Combined with Grip or Kick, the MK46 rivals the MP7 and ACR in accuracy.
