User blog:Callofduty4/complete MW3 gun analyses

Following on from my Black Ops gun analyses last year, here are analyses for MW3 guns.

Disclaimer - these ratings are all my opinion. They are by no means the definitive analysis for each gun.

M16A4
Damage - 45-25

I haven't used this much, but it's basically a general-purpose, 3-round-burst assault rifle. Really not much else to it than that. Main competitor is the Type 95, which is unlocked later on. Nothing really special about this weapon at all.

Rating - 7/10

M4A1
Damage - 42-20

M4A1 is a low-recoil, medium damage weapon. This makes the M4A1 very good at mid-long range encounters, but it falls a bit short in CQB. Overall, a really quite good starting weapon and a good way to be eased into the game.

Rating - 8.5/10

SCAR-L
Damage - 35-20

The SCAR-L has very low recoil, a reasonable fire rate, and reasonable damage. This makes it well-suited to mid-range use, but can be used with success at pretty much any range.

Rating - 8/10

CM901
Damage - 49-25

The CM901 has high damage, low recoil, and a low ROF. This makes it excellent for any range, which allows it to fit any ticket and any role. Out of what I've used so far, the CM901 is one of the best weapons.

Rating - 10/10

Type 95
Damage - 55-20

The Type 95 has stupidly high damage at close quarters which allows it to kill in 2 shots. What's more, it's a 3-round burst weapon, so it's really quite hard to not land a kill at close range, even when hip firing. It also has low recoil which allows it to perform well at long range, even if it becomes significantly weaker damagewise.

Rating - 9.5/10

G36C
Damage - 40-25

The damage of the G36C falls in at a midway for assault rifles, which makes the G36C probably the best assault rifle to fit all roles necessary. It has low recoil, and a fast ROF. Good weapon to use.

Rating - 9/10

ACR 6.8
Damage - 40-30

The ACR 6.8 possesses high damage at long range, has a mediocre ROF, and low recoil. Best at long ranges, but can effectively be used at any range. Very similar to the M4A1, but the lower recoil makes this a better choice.

Rating - 9.5/10

M14
Damage - 75-49

M14's very high damage enables it to serve as pretty much an unscoped sniper rifle with large damage dropoff at range. It has low recoil, and extremely high accuracy. The only problem is the firecap, which is rectified with Rapid Fire. A good gun to use to take a break from all the other automatic assault rifles.
