Looking for the full list of all weapons in MW3? In an unprecedented move in COD history, the release of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 brings with it a whopping 115 guns and other weapons for players to choose between. This is thanks mainly to the Carry Forward system, which brings every gun from Modern Warfare 2 over to the new game. But on top of this, there's a surprising number of new weapons in MW3 as well.

With this COD title more than any other, it's pretty hard to get a decent grasp of the weapons on offer when they are so goddamn many of them. That's where we come in. Below you'll find our full Modern Warfare 3 weapon list, containing every primary weapon, secondary weapon, launcher, and melee weapon in the game, including all the old MW2 guns being brought forward into MW3.

That makes for 78 MW2 weapons, combined with an extra 37 guns and weapons added specifically for MW3. That means at launch, Modern Warfare 3 has a total of 115 weapons to choose from - by far the most at launch of any COD title in history.
