What the columns mean
Source is either Modern Warfare 4 or a Legacy game such as Black Ops 7 or Modern Warfare III. Unlock is a player level when the MW4 page prints one, or Armory Unlock when the gun is Legacy. Tier text is copied from the site that published it, with the site name left in the cell. I do not renumber someone else’s S tier into my own score.
Detail pages cover the VMP, Kar98k, M4, and AK-27. Compare sniper roles on the sniper page. For the official arsenal scope and additions, read the Season 1 weapon overview.
