Some of these weapons are final unlocks. There is nothing worse about video game weapons than having the last weapon you unlock being the worst in the game.
It's not supposed to be a reward. It's a parallel to player skill. You reach max level so you unlock a shitty gun to use on lower-level players to show WHY you're max level. When has CoD ever actually rewarded you for playing it? It's always been about clout and flexing, just like with prestige and the tacky camo skins.
@TacticalHatchet That's the worst argument I've ever seen, look at the final gun in BO2. Also, this video is so freaking wrong, having the Drakon at Top5 is simply wrong
As a Zombies BO3 player, I was stunned when I learned the Shieva is good and the Drakon is bad in Multiplayer, as the Shieva is one of the worst BO3 guns in Zombies while the Drakon is among the best non wonder weapons you could get
except the Shieva is not just one of the best starting room weapons of all time, but among the best wall weapons of all time, try hitting some headshots and watch as you 2 shot the head on round 30
@@Prion_ow compared to everything else in the game, yes. It’s so clunky and honestly very weak. Also the reload takes forever it’s just all around such an awkward weapon to use
As someone who plays Cold War a lot to this day and recently got dark matter, I assure you that the M60 is one of the best LMGs in the game. The amount of times I got killed by Prestige Masters using the weapon while sitting in a corner is horrendous. It’s basically the LSAT from BO2
Ok, so am I the only one who thinks that the RPD is freaking broken? Yeah, its stats arent anything special but I swear that its handling speeds were that of an AR and not an LMG. I believe that the MP5, AK, and RPD were the first guns I got max level in Cold War. Come to think of it, Im pretty sure ill the LMGs in cold war were pretty good 🤔
I actually had fun using the m60 from cw. Just slap in the shortest barrel, fastest reload, and all the fast attachments and I ran around with it like Rambo
I remember as a youngling getting absolutely schooled in BO1 search and destroy by some weed smoking bullshitter who used the Dragunov with ACOG and supressor.
dude the reason the drakon was actually bad was that on console you didn't have aim assist with it, on pc tho it was propably the best, because you could just slap a red dot on and use it as a semi auto AR, that has the fastest ttk, way better than the sheiva too
HS10, trenchgun, drakon and bo1 dragunov are kinda wild worst gun picks. Hs10 is a dual wieldable worse spas12. Trench gun was just the standard cod pump. Drakon was actually good as a dmr and bo1 dragunov is for sure better than cod 4 dragunov because there’s no ebr in bo1. I would have thought for sure the mp44 from cod4 or the cm901 from mw3 would have made it.
the dragunov is bo1 was the best sniper. all snipers dealt the same dmg, so firerate and ammo are the next 2 most important things. and all of the semi auto snipers in bo1 have the same firerate lmao, so its up to ammo. and the dragunov has the most ammo in a mag out all of them.

Surprised you put the CW M60 on the list when it has one of the fastest TTK in that game and has great hipfire because LMGs have SMG level hipfire in that game. I reckon either the LAPA or UGR is worse cuz they kill very slow compared to practically all of the automatic weapons.
I think a very strong contender is the ASP from Black Ops 1. Yeah I know it's a pistol and they tend to not be that good as a rule, but holy hell the ASP is easily the worst pistol in any CoD game. The individual damage per bullet is so bad that it's basically worthless outside of point-blank, especially when the 1911 is the other starting pistol and that thing is basically better in every single regard. A lot of other guns on this list at least have *some* merit or enjoyability. The ASP has *none*.
Nah, is the pistol with the fastest kill time due to his high fire rate, it has a very small magazine but it kills in 2 hs and 3 to the body and fires faster than most guns in the game with nearly no recoil and the fastest reload speed of any weapon. It can be even the best pistol. Not as satisfying as the magnum for sure, but the worst of all cod? No way...
Funny to think that the F2000 handles almost exactly like the BO1 FAMAS but one is considered one of the most underpowered guns and the other among the most overpowered
The FAMAS didn't have the same dogshit recoil as the F2000, and like he said, the game the gun is in is a big factor. Mw2 was a different beast, almost everyone ran around with UMPs or SCARs that could 2-shot you with stopping power, and those who didn't just picked the ACR with its zero recoil.
@@PrismariLaura True, while BO1 in general had a lot of recoil on all weapons, so the Famas having some wasn't that problematic (only the handguns and smaller SMG like Skorpion and Mac didn't have recoil i think)
WTF!?? Drakon top 5 worst weapons in cod? It is a top 5 BEST guns in cod. You equip the red dot sight and the problem you mentioned is out... That thing with the right accesories is a menace to society, it kills one single headshot with rapid fire rate and silencer equiped... Most underrated gun ever in the series Other than that, great video. I would have added rw1 from AW and china lake from bo1. Those things are atrocious
Well on controller the gun didn’t give aim assist because it was a sniper but on PC it definitely was great! Probably shouldn’t have put it on the list. And I was only going primary weapons or else the china lake would’ve been a top tier garbage weapon 😂
Drakon is arguably one of the best weapons in the entire series when using the short range optics like the ELO (red dot) and Recon (ACOG). I remember Drift0r showing how incredibly OP it was in his in-depth episode on it.
@@AscendAR Nah, China Lake is underrated ESPECIALLY in Hardcore. If you're a Y-Y player it is the perfect secondary to prefire a location or follow-up your shots and you can regularly get multikills especially in areas where its trajectory benefits come into play. Once you get used to the distance needed for the grenades to explode, it becomes very reliable especially for clearing out campers. I have a feeling that the people who hate it the most are the ones who panic-fired it expecting an RPG and then get killed when the grenade doesn't explode lol.
I can actually use the Dragonov well and got a lot of fun with it. The S12 in BO2 is an underrated gun it needs a few things to fix to be a really great gun.
MW2022 M16 is my favorite gun in MW2023. The other day i dropped a 71 kill game on shipment. highlight of the match was getting 7 kills and one assist in less than 20 seconds with it. Edited to add that I only use burst not full auto.
I don’t think the FTAC recon is bad at all, it being so mobile while also having a pretty consistent 2 tap body 1 tap headshot just makes it a good DMR to actually play the game aggressively with. I never had trouble with it when obtaining polyatomic
To clarify at 11:13 as someone that had close to 1000 hours in Black Ops multiplayer. the MAC11 was incredibly underrated and although the MP5K and AK74U's were the most common, The Kiparis and the MPL were semi common picks amongst SMG lovers (My choice was always the MAC tho).
I loved the Skorpions because of, i assume, the same reason you love the MAC, it be not be as fancy as MP5, but it's inexistent recoil while keeping the SMG maneuverability was a blessing, i could easily take opponent at mid range with it (or even long range if quick enough), close quarter it may loose to other SMG, but anything farther and it have the advantage
Drakon with Red Dot is one of the most powerful guns in Bo3 so how can this gun be one of the worst in CoD History💀 And I read your comment with Aim Assist, Drakon was also easy to use on console with controller
I don’t agree at all with the cbj from ghosts. It was really good when you got used to the recoil. Plus it has intrinsic armour piercing so it ignored ballistic vests and destroyed maniacs. One of my favourite guns from that game.
I went to do research on the HVR a long time ago because the cod wiki said it only did 5 less damage at minimum range and thought that was weird. Found out later through game files and Xclusive Ace that its pretty standard damage falloff going from 34-25-23-19 so even worse than what people thought lmao
For the sawed off shotguns- “You are guaranteed dead if another enemy is close by” in the clip another enemy turns the corner after you fired your 2 shots and instantly jinxes your words 😂
Day 14 of asking Idea: blindly rank 5 XDefiant guns Idea: blindly rank 5 guns from the cod golden era (cod 4 - bo2) Idea: blindly rank bo4 operator abilities or gadgets or both
The S12 and HS10s are not bad. They're not great but they're definitely not bad. The F2000 was also just good, not top tier but good. It was meant to be a close/medium range weapon. Stop trying to reach out with it and get closer. Same applies to the uzi, it's good. Most smgs in BO1 are. FTAC HOLD ON WHAT? The FTAC was absolutely ridiculously good. It was nutty busted. Your complaint on it was that you had to land your shots? That's a player issue not a gun issue. I have plenty of footage using it on my Jarekthegamingdragon plays channel in the higher end of sbmm. It's genuinely one of the best guns in the game.
I had a lot of fun and succes with the F2000 in MW2, but I will say this: the difference between using and NOT using Stopping Power with this gun was definitely noticeable
You are 100% right! And I absolutely hate just sitting in 1 spot, it’s so boring and annoying ti play against. Which is probably why I put the M60 on this list because it’s awful at everything outside of camping 😂
2 things 1) M60 from CW was actually godly when paired with the correct attachments. You need a long range site (I used thermal cuz it’s broken in that game) and no recoil attachments and it was broken no recoil 2) F2000 from MW2 was ass 🤣for sure, however nostalgic it was my first nuke in that game (also it was in TDM on Skidrow, my team was really bad so they didn’t take many of my kills, and nukes were cake to get harriers and chopper basically got the nuke)
Totally agree with the CW take I loved the m60 on top of that I paired it with a 3 or 4x I forgot what one another good LMG from CW was the RPD I destroyed with that
10 BO SMGS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD Skorpion MP5K Uzi Kiparis AKS-74U MPL PM63 Spectre Mac-11 I'm not sure what the hidden 10th gun is, but I cannot think of it for the life of me. Technically mp40, ppsh, Thompson, type 100 are in campaign and zombies.
The Sten is in the campaign and was supposed to be in WaW, it’s able to be picked up in the mission where you play as Reznov, during the section where you have to escape
I agree with this list wholeheartedly. Especially the Dragunov from BO1. I disliked the Chicam CQB and the Pharo. However, if we move over to zombies for some of the weapons, some of them are either just ok, like the S12, that’s all it’s getting, just “ok”, and the SVT-40 from WWII was actually insane in a good way when pack a punched. For the Shiva, it’s the opposite, pretty darn good in multiplayer, piss poor in zombies, even after pack a punch. You’d need Deadshot Daiquiri to be able to make it decent, because it pretty much only becomes OP with headshots. And that output doesn’t last for very many rounds before the zombies become too tanky for the Shiva.
CW M60 doesn’t belong on this list, if you build it properly. Some folks have the WZ mindset and focus on controlling areas, in MP’s case “lanes” gotten plenty Nukes with this gun, its one of the best for laid back patient players.
Ironically, the Dragunov was my best sniper in BO1 lol. I have so many fond memories after high school of quickly killing 2-3 enemies at a time before reloading.
Drakom as number 4 huh? I recall playing with the suppressor, fmj, and thermal scope along with smoke grenades... felt so damn good to get those rapid one shot headshots
No way is the BO1 Dragunov that bad, I think it's better than the WA2000 due to larger mags and less recoil-centering time so you can pretty consistently get headshots with it. Something like the Kiparis or Olympia is way worse in that game.
The Dragunov's vertical recoil after every shot is far worse than the more centralised follow-up shots with the WA2000. The entire gun jerks upwards when you use the Dragunov. Also the ACOG for the Dragunov is absolutely terrible, whilst an ACOG WA2000 has the best ACOG sight of all of the snipers and becomes a genuine close/mid-range weapon too. The Olympia is a weapon that you use with proper game sense. It has very good range to it, and you don't approach a group of 3 people with it. You shoot, dodge, reload then shoot. Kiparis is very underrated too. It's fire rate + reload speed is crazy. Its starting magazine is low but you can use extended mags and heck even with Warlord it reloads pretty quickly. The vertical recoil is the biggest thing but you learn not to spray it and also to start a little further downwards too.
I've seen people do great with the Dragnov and preferred it to the PSG1. Felt like it had a better fire rate and recoil compared to the PSG1, so you could get two quick shots in to guarantee kill someone. Whilst I felt the PSG1 was really hit and miss, and was a lot harder to be able to quickly get the second shit needed to kill in time.
Black Ops 1 dragunov is a skill weapon. Completely unusable when first starting out but super fun for an experienced gamer. It makes you care about where your shot placement is. If you do well with it, everyone congratulates you. It's a notoriously difficult weapon to use.
The worst gun of all time is not even debatable and you left it off the list. Remember that sniper in AW where you had to fire one shot at someone and then a second one right next to them to detonate it. I think I got like 6 kills total with that gun.
BO1 Uzi with extended mags + grip to fight the recoil and scavenger is one of my favorite guns and very satisfying imo. Maybe I'm biased because I think it looks cool.
Dragunov was my favorite sniper in BO1. OHK from the chest up & a large mag. You just had to control your trigger finger and not spam your shots. Surprised to see no BO4 weapons, as they were nearly all terrible.
Fantastic video again AR! BO1 Dragunov by far is the worst, but I was surprised weapons like the BO3 Dragoon and AW M16. The iron sights on the M16 were beyond atrocious and it was a literal pea shooter. The dragoon was just so awkward to use as it almost felt unfinished compared to the other snipers in BO3. I'd take the Drakon any day over that, but your drakon take is also very valid. Keep up the amazing work!!
I almost put the AW M16 but didn’t want to repeat a weapon (had M16 for MWII) And personally I didn’t hate the dragoon but it wasn’t great. And thank you boss!
I kicked a lot of azs with the M1 garand with shorter barrel and 4x sights. Same with dragunov. M1A with medium sights in MW3 is my go-to if I don't care about ranking up my guns. DMR seems to work best for me.
MK14, Drakon, AMR9 n EPM3 were kinda good in hardcore mode, let's be honest, i've used'em A LOT. And despite my love for the Last one... unfortunately i agree. Grenat vid !💯
I am a big lmg fan in cod so I have to disagree with the Cold War m60, never in any call of duty have I seen an m60 like the cold war one, it was my favorite gun in Cold War and I’ve gotten many 70+ games with that rendition, it was amazing
The HVR and F2000 were awesome, Idk what others are talking about when they say they’re bad. My personal worst weapon in cod is the NA-45 sniper from AW. Cool concept but impossible to get kills with when everyone is hopping and jumping around
The F2000 in MW3 (BP50) had zero recoil when it was added; they nerfed it a bit but no worries, add a grip. I think it’s recoil was buffed since then; fairly powerful with a high fire rate 🤩 I didn’t use the Drakon in BO3 MP but it was fantastic in zombies! Never used the FTAC Recon up close, it was better at distance, logically, like in Ground war. I actually remember some of the SMGs in BO1, despite what you said.
@@bluesolace9459 In CoD WWII, yes, which I think is why it got banned from MP, because it was too good. But as I said, you can get it from Wanderlust or in Gun Game. And in Vanguard I wouldn't know since I haven't played it.
I really don't understand the hate towards the hvr in iw. If you were talking about with no variants involved then yes I would agree. I personally didn't really see the hvr being bad. It was good if you had the epic variant of it which turns it akimbo but lowers the fire rate. It was very good for stealth roles
Honestly I haven’t even played most of these games 😂 Always hated the black ops multiplayer system and didn’t go past Ghosts- nice to see so few OG MW guns on this list

I loved the Skorpions because of, i assume, the same reason you love the MAC, it be not be as fancy as MP5, but it's inexistent recoil while keeping the SMG maneuverability was a blessing, i could easily take opponent at mid range with it (or even long range if quick enough), close quarter it may loose to other SMG, but anything farther and it have the advantage
Drakon with Red Dot is one of the most powerful guns in Bo3 so how can this gun be one of the worst in CoD History💀
And I read your comment with Aim Assist, Drakon was also easy to use on console with controller
I don’t agree at all with the cbj from ghosts. It was really good when you got used to the recoil. Plus it has intrinsic armour piercing so it ignored ballistic vests and destroyed maniacs. One of my favourite guns from that game.
I went to do research on the HVR a long time ago because the cod wiki said it only did 5 less damage at minimum range and thought that was weird. Found out later through game files and Xclusive Ace that its pretty standard damage falloff going from 34-25-23-19 so even worse than what people thought lmao
For the sawed off shotguns- “You are guaranteed dead if another enemy is close by” in the clip another enemy turns the corner after you fired your 2 shots and instantly jinxes your words 😂
You may not like the Dragunov but you know exactly what it looks like, sounds like, and what scope it uses. For that I commend it.
No lies detected!
Day 14 of asking
Idea: blindly rank 5 XDefiant guns
Idea: blindly rank 5 guns from the cod golden era (cod 4 - bo2)
Idea: blindly rank bo4 operator abilities or gadgets or both
Went and played plutonium bo1 and was smacking kids with the dragunov. Definitely way better on kbm then controller, that's for sure.
Actually bo1 has 9 smgs, not 10🤓🤓 and the drakon is not that bad, can think of like 5 Snipers worse than it
You’re right with the BO1 SMGs!
the na 45 from aw is even worse lmao
The S12 and HS10s are not bad. They're not great but they're definitely not bad. The F2000 was also just good, not top tier but good. It was meant to be a close/medium range weapon. Stop trying to reach out with it and get closer. Same applies to the uzi, it's good. Most smgs in BO1 are.
FTAC HOLD ON WHAT? The FTAC was absolutely ridiculously good. It was nutty busted. Your complaint on it was that you had to land your shots? That's a player issue not a gun issue. I have plenty of footage using it on my Jarekthegamingdragon plays channel in the higher end of sbmm. It's genuinely one of the best guns in the game.
I had a lot of fun and succes with the F2000 in MW2, but I will say this: the difference between using and NOT using Stopping Power with this gun was definitely noticeable
Literally the only people who used the M60 in cold war were ppl with an ACOG, field mics and just sat somewhere holding one choke point.
You are 100% right! And I absolutely hate just sitting in 1 spot, it’s so boring and annoying ti play against. Which is probably why I put the M60 on this list because it’s awful at everything outside of camping 😂
Uzi w ACOG in Call of Duty 4 is the worst in the game thats not a sniper shotgun or sidearm.
2 things
1) M60 from CW was actually godly when paired with the correct attachments. You need a long range site (I used thermal cuz it’s broken in that game) and no recoil attachments and it was broken no recoil
2) F2000 from MW2 was ass 🤣for sure, however nostalgic it was my first nuke in that game (also it was in TDM on Skidrow, my team was really bad so they didn’t take many of my kills, and nukes were cake to get harriers and chopper basically got the nuke)
Totally agree with the CW take I loved the m60 on top of that I paired it with a 3 or 4x I forgot what one another good LMG from CW was the RPD I destroyed with that
@@evanlashway329 yessss the RPD rips in that game, same exact attachments as the m60 class I mentioned
10 BO SMGS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
Skorpion
MP5K
Uzi
Kiparis
AKS-74U
MPL
PM63
Spectre
Mac-11
I'm not sure what the hidden 10th gun is, but I cannot think of it for the life of me.
Technically mp40, ppsh, Thompson, type 100 are in campaign and zombies.
There’s only 9 in multiplayer. So, you got them all! I messed up said 10 in the video 😂
@@AscendAR Ohhhh OK whew I thought I was losin it lol. Yeah what I lack in common sense I more than make up for in useless video game knowledge.
The Sten is in the campaign and was supposed to be in WaW, it’s able to be picked up in the mission where you play as Reznov, during the section where you have to escape
I only got 6, just missing the Skorpion, PM63 and Spectre. Loved the MPL and Uzi though in BO1
I agree with this list wholeheartedly. Especially the Dragunov from BO1. I disliked the Chicam CQB and the Pharo. However, if we move over to zombies for some of the weapons, some of them are either just ok, like the S12, that’s all it’s getting, just “ok”, and the SVT-40 from WWII was actually insane in a good way when pack a punched. For the Shiva, it’s the opposite, pretty darn good in multiplayer, piss poor in zombies, even after pack a punch. You’d need Deadshot Daiquiri to be able to make it decent, because it pretty much only becomes OP with headshots. And that output doesn’t last for very many rounds before the zombies become too tanky for the Shiva.
EPM3 was one of the best hardcore guns ever though. Hardcore lobbies looked like EDC with all the lasers flying around.
F2000 don't deserve to be there. It was a short range AR which is odd but totally worked
F2000 is obsolete. Its literally the same as tar21 but with more recoil and shitty red dot.
The f2000 really got a glowup since MW2. It's really great in Vanguard, MWIII, and Mobile
CW M60 doesn’t belong on this list, if you build it properly. Some folks have the WZ mindset and focus on controlling areas, in MP’s case “lanes” gotten plenty Nukes with this gun, its one of the best for laid back patient players.

"Switching to your sidearm is -faster- better than using the SI2"
Ironically, the Dragunov was my best sniper in BO1 lol.
I have so many fond memories after high school of quickly killing 2-3 enemies at a time before reloading.
The design of m60 in cold war is the most accurate to the real weapon, in bo1 the m60 was a ugly thing
The SVT was my fav gun in WWII. Hit your shots and you're unstoppable. I recall it having one-shot headshots at close range.
Drakom as number 4 huh?
I recall playing with the suppressor, fmj, and thermal scope along with smoke grenades... felt so damn good to get those rapid one shot headshots
No way is the BO1 Dragunov that bad, I think it's better than the WA2000 due to larger mags and less recoil-centering time so you can pretty consistently get headshots with it. Something like the Kiparis or Olympia is way worse in that game.
The Dragunov's vertical recoil after every shot is far worse than the more centralised follow-up shots with the WA2000. The entire gun jerks upwards when you use the Dragunov. Also the ACOG for the Dragunov is absolutely terrible, whilst an ACOG WA2000 has the best ACOG sight of all of the snipers and becomes a genuine close/mid-range weapon too.
The Olympia is a weapon that you use with proper game sense. It has very good range to it, and you don't approach a group of 3 people with it. You shoot, dodge, reload then shoot.
Kiparis is very underrated too. It's fire rate + reload speed is crazy. Its starting magazine is low but you can use extended mags and heck even with Warlord it reloads pretty quickly. The vertical recoil is the biggest thing but you learn not to spray it and also to start a little further downwards too.
I've seen people do great with the Dragnov and preferred it to the PSG1.
Felt like it had a better fire rate and recoil compared to the PSG1, so you could get two quick shots in to guarantee kill someone.
Whilst I felt the PSG1 was really hit and miss, and was a lot harder to be able to quickly get the second shit needed to kill in time.
Black Ops 1 dragunov is a skill weapon. Completely unusable when first starting out but super fun for an experienced gamer.
It makes you care about where your shot placement is. If you do well with it, everyone congratulates you. It's a notoriously difficult weapon to use.
I rocked the Draken and the Dragunov. Averages 20-25 kills per game. It was all in how you used them
The worst gun of all time is not even debatable and you left it off the list. Remember that sniper in AW where you had to fire one shot at someone and then a second one right next to them to detonate it. I think I got like 6 kills total with that gun.
NA-45 😭
@@AscendAR that’s what it was. It was an absolutely ridiculous idea in the first place 😂
Actually, shotguns in real life have incredible range. These video games don't do them justice.
BO1 Uzi with extended mags + grip to fight the recoil and scavenger is one of my favorite guns and very satisfying imo. Maybe I'm biased because I think it looks cool.
I actually really enjoyed the s12 and remember getting prestige on it. It might not have been super meta but I love that gun
Dragunov was my favorite sniper in BO1. OHK from the chest up & a large mag. You just had to control your trigger finger and not spam your shots. Surprised to see no BO4 weapons, as they were nearly all terrible.
Fantastic video again AR! BO1 Dragunov by far is the worst, but I was surprised weapons like the BO3 Dragoon and AW M16. The iron sights on the M16 were beyond atrocious and it was a literal pea shooter. The dragoon was just so awkward to use as it almost felt unfinished compared to the other snipers in BO3. I'd take the Drakon any day over that, but your drakon take is also very valid. Keep up the amazing work!!
I almost put the AW M16 but didn’t want to repeat a weapon (had M16 for MWII) And personally I didn’t hate the dragoon but it wasn’t great. And thank you boss!
S12 is best used as a secondary I found. Really good as a defensive weapon but not for attacking as opposed to the other shotties
BO2 was the first game I tried getting all shotguns platinum and yeah, the S12 was painful. Best play was to just camp the middle house in Standoff
Difference between the drakon on mp and the drakon on zombies is insane. Excluding wonder weapons the drakon is a top 5 gun and i pick it every time
I agree w/ the CW M60, however... It's saving grace is w/ the Cavalry Lancer; The thing MELTS streaks.
me 11 years ago gatekeeping the g36c ironsights in mw3. if you didnt run iron sights you had bad aim
Honestly cant believe the trench gun was on here, i used to truck dudes with it all the time 😂
I kicked a lot of azs with the M1 garand with shorter barrel and 4x sights. Same with dragunov. M1A with medium sights in MW3 is my go-to if I don't care about ranking up my guns. DMR seems to work best for me.
MK14, Drakon, AMR9 n EPM3 were kinda good in hardcore mode, let's be honest, i've used'em A LOT.
And despite my love for the Last one... unfortunately i agree. Grenat vid !💯
That’s a fair point but I was only looking at them from a core game mode view. Bad HC guns would be completely different! And thank you!
The fact the NA-45 isn’t on this list is criminal. Should be top 3
You gaslit me so bad, there's only 9 SMGs in BO1 MP, spent 20 minutes trying to remember the "tenth" that wasn't the Zombies/Campaign Exclusives
Yeah I messed up on that one 😂 I've been busy apologizing for that in the comments!
@@AscendAR All good man, we're only human after all
I remember the scorpion being worse than the uzi in BO1. But like the Dragunov and HS10, there were sooo many stinker weapons in that game LMAO
Came for the meme left at the beginning when you mentioned a cod not worth playing
The F2000 was probably the fastest killing AR besides the FAL it was underrated
I am a big lmg fan in cod so I have to disagree with the Cold War m60, never in any call of duty have I seen an m60 like the cold war one, it was my favorite gun in Cold War and I’ve gotten many 70+ games with that rendition, it was amazing
M60 was my favorite weapon in cold war! It was power... when sitting still..
Bruh the drakon with LOE sight was interesting to say the least
This makes me think about "this gun fucking sucks". Man I miss the golden era 😭
The CBJ in Ghosts absolutely dominated, idk what ur smoking
The HVR and F2000 were awesome, Idk what others are talking about when they say they’re bad. My personal worst weapon in cod is the NA-45 sniper from AW. Cool concept but impossible to get kills with when everyone is hopping and jumping around
Drakon is GOATed. I had a 2.79 KD with that gun alone. Gun is OP on pc.
I always thought it was only good in zombies but the PC community from 2015 has let me know it was insanely good in MP as well!
The sidewinder is actually good with the aftermarket part no lie
It does get a lot better with the aftermarket part
The F2000 in MW3 (BP50) had zero recoil when it was added; they nerfed it a bit but no worries, add a grip. I think it’s recoil was buffed since then; fairly powerful with a high fire rate 🤩
I didn’t use the Drakon in BO3 MP but it was fantastic in zombies!
Never used the FTAC Recon up close, it was better at distance, logically, like in Ground war.
I actually remember some of the SMGs in BO1, despite what you said.
Mk14 with silencer in AW went hard, people slept on it
I loved using the UZI from black ops 1 cuz I would pair it with the decoy grenade which would imitate an UZI sound
Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure in CoD WWII the M1 Garand isn't even allowed in multiplayer unless you got it from wanderlust.
Or in gun game
(referring to the M1 Garand on the list)
The Garand was considered to be the best semi-auto in the game though?
@@bluesolace9459 In CoD WWII, yes, which I think is why it got banned from MP, because it was too good. But as I said, you can get it from Wanderlust or in Gun Game. And in Vanguard I wouldn't know since I haven't played it.
@@NewtTheDummyit was bamned in ranked not MP.
The freaking NA-45 from aw. In a game where everybody jumped around, it was hard hitting those two shots near each other.
I’ve been waiting for this for such a long time and it’s finally here!!
It has been made… finally!
I'm super shocked the OG MW2 TMP submachine gun never made this list.
I used to run and gun with the Cold War m60. That was my sweet baby girl and I miss her 😕
When I saw the title, I immeditly thought about the Enfield in BO1 and it wasent on this list.
The double barrel was so bad in WW2 I had to hardcore shipment it to get diamond
The Dragunov from MW 2019 made getting Damascus 10 times more painful to get
100% agreed on the last one but also the scope just looks strange lmao
Yeah the scope doesn’t help at all 😂
Irl, the scope is a snipers wet dream having a built in range finder, but for call of duty, not so much.
The dualwield HS1's in kino der toten were absolute beasts of a shotgun.
Pre-buffed mw3 (old one) shotguns were painfully inconsistent at launch
You should do “Top 10 cleanest Iron Sights but worst performing guns” I commented this on JimmyChaos’ channel but he ignored it lol
Interesting idea!
I really don't understand the hate towards the hvr in iw. If you were talking about with no variants involved then yes I would agree. I personally didn't really see the hvr being bad. It was good if you had the epic variant of it which turns it akimbo but lowers the fire rate. It was very good for stealth roles
I wasn’t including variants when deciding because I feel like any gun can become at minimum decent with good variants
@@AscendARThen you have variants like the NV4 Flatline... Ugh, hated IW's MP with a passion
Honestly I haven’t even played most of these games 😂
Always hated the black ops multiplayer system and didn’t go past Ghosts- nice to see so few OG MW guns on this list
I never understood the logic of the m16 in cod I’m shooting 3 bullets every time and I get marked out by a 9mm sub machine gun lol
If BO1 had chrome lined (the attachment from COD Ghosts) it still can’t save the dragunov
