Top 10 Best Weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

When I was playing multiplayer, I always used the AK-47 and only got 2-6 kills a round. Someone at my school said that the SCAR-H is the best gun, so I tried it out myself, and now I'm getting a whole lot more kills. The only bad thing about this gun is that it has only 60 bullets total.

Overall, this gun has very low recoil and deals a lot of damage to players. I would prefer extended mags or Scavenger if I were going to use it, though.

The SCAR-H has very high damage, accuracy, and range with decent iron sights. Sure, the ACR has a high rate of fire and is a tad more accurate, but it is only good with stopping power. The SCAR-H does not need stopping power. It is the best gun in all overall categories except magazine capacity.

Although the ACR has relatively low damage, the incredibly low recoil will ensure that more shots hit, allowing for very quick kills. Its recoil is so low, in fact, that it can easily be fired full-auto at long range and still hit with most of the rounds. It is extremely reliable and is useful in just about every possible in-game scenario.

This gun has several standout features:

1. Laser beam recoil.
2. You barely notice the low damage, which anyway seems like 2 seconds (counting really fast!) to kill.
3. Reload time is pretty fast, and the fast RPM (rounds per minute) makes up for the low recoil.
4. Nice iron sights.

Billy Mays here with the all-new Intervention! This bolt-action sniper will leave your enemies drowning in an ocean of their blood. Equipped with stopping power and FMJ, this sniper is almost a guaranteed one-shot kill. The ADS is the quickest of the snipers, and the hip fire can be improved with steady aim.

Enjoy rushing? There's not a better sniper. Enjoy quickscoping, hardscoping, no-scoping, trickshotting, trolling, or just plain old sneaking around? The Intervention is the gun for you. You can just run out in the open, and in half a second, you can have the enemies in your sights and pull the trigger. They won't even see you coming.

This is by far the best gun I have ever used in the history of video games. I know that the fire rate is really cheesy, but the damage it does is wicked. I can understand the SCAR being the best, but the ACR? Seriously? I just can't understand that.

Even though the Russians made this baby in the '70s, it still rocks everyone's socks. MW2 would not be the same without this gun.

If you put a silencer and red dot with stopping power and commando, this will be a monster.

AK-47 > SCAR-H. The AK has a 30-round magazine, the same damage as the SCAR-H, shoots faster than the SCAR-H, and reloads faster than the SCAR-H.

The only problem is recoil.

How is this not THE BEST weapon? It easily is the strongest, most efficient assault rifle. I must admit, you actually have to be good at aiming to use the gun, which most Call of Duty players aren't. That's why everyone calls it a "noob gun," because they get ripped on by it yet can't use it themselves. Submachine guns are noob weapons.

Best gun in the game. Excellent accuracy, range, and very little recoil.

The fire rate takes time to get used to, but this gun is essentially a one-shot kill from any distance with the stopping power perk applied.

Easily one of the best weapons in any small map. Actually, the best. Nuketown, Killhouse, any. You name it. High fire rate, pretty good accuracy. Easy kill. Use it with ACOG on big maps and become virtually unbeatable.

Be sure not to use any attachments because they really suck in my opinion. The one with the fire rate increaser is good but not really. I mean, it has only reduced kills for me and needs more time to take a kill. I don't know why. The only downside is ammo, but Scavenger can easily deal with this. Extended mags are not a good option in my opinion.

Long range, one-shot kill at any range... There is no better lie than this.

The SPAS-12 is really a cool weapon to use, but it is a shotgun, and it can hardly be called a long-range gun or a one-shot kill weapon at "any range." But like most shotguns, it does kill in one shot at close range (but not always).

If you are looking for shotguns, my best suggestion would be the STRIKER. It has more bullets per mag and a better rate of fire, making it perfect for room-clearing close combat.

Almost as good as the M1014. Not as good in range or damage, but it's good for people who are just starting the game.

The FAL is great because all the other guns have some crippling feature that makes them pointless at a certain range. These factors, like the ACR's damage, either can't be fixed or have to be fixed with a perk or attachment. To counter the ACR's damage, you have to waste Perk 2 on stopping power. The FAL's downside is the semi-auto, but with a good trigger finger, it's flawless.

If you master it, it's the only weapon that is great at short, medium, and long range.

It's great with a silencer and FMJ because it's the only weapon that suffers very little from the use of a silencer.

This gun is the 3rd best in MW3. Its damage might seem low, but if you add a silencer and extended mags, it's a god-tier gun all over again.

Just started using the TAR, and it's a very powerful gun. I used to use the SCAR for months, and now I don't even have a class with it. The TAR is by far the best all-around gun. At close and mid ranges, you will win with no problem without stopping power.

However, there are a lot of good assault rifles perfect for different maps. The M14 with a silencer is very underrated. Give that a go.

The TAR-21 is special for many reasons. The most obvious are its damage and stopping power. The range of this assault rifle is fair enough, and the rate of fire is not that bad for the high damage it inflicts. At greater ranges, its rate of fire makes it better than fancy weapons such as the SCAR.

Guys, you'll drop anyone with this little beauty. Quick as hell on the trigger and low recoil. Half-decent aiming and YOU WILL DESTROY. Like, you could snipe with this thing if you put a scope on it.

Put me in a fight with the best Call of Duty player with an ACR and give me the USP, and every time I win. This gun doesn't even need your number one spot, 'cause it knows y'all are ignorant. The USP is your answer to everything! Zombie apocalypse? USP! Terrorist threat? USP! Hey baby, can you give me the good lovin'? Hell yeah, 'CAUSE I GOT MY damn USP!

This thing is good to use, but that does not mean you can call it in anytime you want. You must be very skilled in combat.

It ends the game when you use it. Hard to get the killstreaks.

Basically kills everyone on the map. Very good weapon.

RPD equals extreme power and perfect accuracy if fired similarly to the FAL. Hip fire mows down enemies like a shotgun with the steady aim perk. It's a great gun to shoot through walls with. It shoots through cement blocks with FMJ added. It's a single-shot kill in hardcore. The thermal scope is near perfect after a little practice and technique.

It's simply the best. Bursting this gun makes it a true winner.

A 2-hit kill at all ranges with SP, best iron sight in the game, 100-round clip, and it looks cool. The RPD is a winner.

Killer gun for mowing lots of foes! Great open sights. With just a grip, it's a beast.

I love this gun because the accuracy is great, and its fire rate is awesome! It's easy to use, and you unlock it quickly too, which is cool. One of the best assault rifles, in my opinion. And unlike the AK-47, it's not really shaky, which makes it easier to aim from far away.

For all the people who use the ACR, you probably haven't tried the M4A1. It has the third-best accuracy next to the ACR and the FAMAS. The M4 is a lot faster than the ACR, but the ACR has slightly better accuracy. The M4A1 rocks in MW2.

This gun is the first you get and is easy to get good with. Even without Sleight of Hand, it still does not take long to reload. I use a red dot, although the iron sights rock.

The perks I use are Sleight of Hand Pro, Hardline Pro (because there is no need for stopping power), and Ninja Pro because I can sneak in and kill. Heartbeat sensors are the stupidest thing in the game, so I don't like getting killed by them.

This gun is a 2-shot kill at any range, has very low kick, and a decent fire rate.

It has to be the best gun in the game.

If this was an assault rifle, it would be number one. I think it should be, but it's not my choice.

Any gun with perfect accuracy and a two-shot kill is godly in my mind.

Always thought it should be an assault rifle and not an LMG, but always loved it. Very deadly and very accurate.

With stopping power and ninja, you're fast and powerful enough to take down opponents at close range if you can get your burst on target. People criticize the burst weapons as noob guns, but they require a lot of skill because of the delay between bursts. But if you can use this well and couple it with a good shotgun secondary, you're tough to take down.

This gun is awesome on the Wasteland map with stopping power, red dot, and silencer. Camp just in front of the machine gun pit and take down those suckers at distance and mid-range.

Usually get the highest kill/death ratio on this map, if not the win.

People say the SPAS-12 has more range, but I tested the Model, and it beat the SPAS-12 by a long shot! Akimbo? Beast! Double the power, and this is most useful at Rust because the level is small. No doubt that you will be in first, second, or third because the Model is the best shotgun ever made in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2!

Maybe I am a bit funny this time, but regardless of other reasons which I am not sure about, I love to use the Model 1887 for its stylish reload mechanism.

Best shotgun. Cool akimbo animation.

Guys, this instantly kills, and in multiplayer, you look like an absolute badass when you get 15 kills with it. Plus, it has infinite ammo if you can find it.

It has low range, but if you get close to them, they die with one shot. My friends rage at me for using this gun.

Good gun. It can sometimes kill as quickly as the UMP, but other times it seems it can't kill at all.

It has a huge clip size and can dominate in Ground War on close-quarters maps. The best attachments are the silencer, red dot, and akimbo. Yes, akimbo is very good on it.

It has rapid fire and can easily kill people. It has good accuracy, and for some reason, it's extremely fun to shoot this gun.

Amazing gun. The iron sights aren't great, but a red dot can change it all. Or you can cheat and go full out akimbo with steady aim.

The Mini-Uzi is the best friend for the most aggressive players.

This thing is insane and truly offers the best performance for one-hand wielding.
