Modern Warfare 3 Weapon Recoil Plots

Here are Modern Warfare 3′s weapon recoil plots – or graphs that clearly show each weapon’s recoil pattern and bullet spread. This is very much work in progress, and the guy who produced them (psijaka from DenKirkson’s forums) is “sticking my neck out a bit” in producing these from limited information. But, here goes…

The plots are the result of simulating the firing of 100 ten round bursts. Rounds 1-3 are in green (the first round is always assumed to be on target). Rounds 4-10 are in blue.

Assault Rifles

 

Light Machine Guns

SMG’s

Machine Pistols

      Mp7 is so fake, these games are becoming so unrealistic its rediculous. I got killed halfway across resistance with a guy unloading an mp7 and he didnt miss a shot. Mw3 weapons are so unbalanced. Anyone who has the mp7 uses it. Its like the famas in black ops.

        And the type 95 is the most overpowered gun in cod history. Only 2 shots to kill at close range in CORE?!?!? thats not even a full Burst! Its as strong as the m60 and M14! smfh… Some guns only kill in 2 shots in hardcore!

            there is only 3 guns i have a problem with, type 95, striker, fmg9 akimbo. the type 95 is too overpowerd and can be used for long medium and short range. the striker shoots too fast for its dmg. and the fmg9 akimbo is just.. wow,get some skill.

          Well seing as you can shoot an MP7 full auto with 1 hand relatively accurately in real life, CoD guns have unlimited range and the MP7 has low damage i wouldn’t call it fake, and its not OP. Type 95′s not either because its a dick to use

    the pm-9 is so bad it has downward recoil. and by the looks of this chart you are saying that the fad has higher accuracy than the acr? maybe a little messed up there but overall this will help a lot with weapon selection.

    The G36C is a headshot magnet. Aim for the chest, finishing in the face.

      i reckon trickshots consist of more fluke then anything plus time and plus, also they bore me u see ppl try em way to much. but i do agree the lag is bs for such a high end company like wth cant they afford a improvement?

    G36C is the most balanced gun in overall stats, it shoot some what quick, has good power , useful recoil for headshots and has great range. Favorite gun and most likely will always be

    The M16/M16A4 is being prigressively nerfed
    COD 4: one of the best weapons, if not the best
    MW2: same as COD4, but outclassed by new guns
    BO: outclassed by more weapons, but still good
    MW3: WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU M16 :’-(
    “What was once a champion of weapons is now a
    big steaming pile of regret and astounsion”.

    I dont get the problem with overpowered guns… Instead of complaining about them just use them.
