Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Guide

Weapons

In multiplayer all players have 100 points of health. Each bullet for each gun has a set amount of damage. I will give the max amount of damage a bullet from each gun can do in MPPB (Max Power Per Bullet). Stopping power increases the damage and juggernaut decreases it by 40%. Range is another big factor by each weapon. The more range, the better the bullet damage stays the same over long distances. For instance, shotguns have great power but extremely low range. Sniper Rifles have very high range and power, making them almost always one shot kills. Headshots of all guns increase damage by 40%, but with sniper rifles they are increased 50%. Shotguns do not have damage multipliers. On sniper rifles the body and neck also gives damage multipliers. All guns have three mags of ammo total, except for LMGs which use two.

Assault Rifles

Only assault rifles can use Grenade Launchers. They can also use Red Dot Sight/Silencer/ACOG Scope. Assault Rifles are best for medium to long range. They have medium bullet penetration through walls and nice firepower.
