LoadoutMW4 DMZ weapons: all 33 launch guns with stats
Modern Warfare 4 launches with 33 weapons, and Multiplayer and DMZ share them. Below are the stats Activision published for each one: fire rate, magazine size, reserve ammo, number of weapon levels and the multiplayer player level that unlocks it. The fastest-firing gun is the PPSh-41 at 1110 RPM.
How to read this table. "Mag dump" is our own calculation: magazine size ÷ fire rate. It is a rough comparison, not a damage or TTK figure, and burst and semi-auto weapons fire slower in practice. Unlock levels marked * are given differently in two places in the same Activision post, and we show both numbers.

Getting weapons in DMZ
- Free Loadout. A basic kit you can equip at Ready Up. If you exfil, you keep it.
- Looting. You can find weapons on enemies and on players you kill, and in military containers at Police Stations and Compounds. Lieutenants drop their own weapon, or a key to a loot room where it is kept. Weapons found in Hajin can have up to 8 attachments.
- Vendor (DMZ level 5). Sells weapons for DMZ Cash, and the stock rotates daily.
- Gunsmith (DMZ level 10). Extract once with a weapon's Weapon Manual, and from then on you can buy that base weapon as often as you like. Gunsmith builds take up to 5 attachments, and each extra slot costs more DMZ Cash. Activision's example is a base M4 for about 5,000 DMZ Cash.
- Blueprints. You can use each one once for free. If you lose it, you can buy it back at a discount.

FAQ
How many weapons are in MW4 at launch?
There are 33: 24 primaries (8 assault rifles, 5 SMGs, 2 shotguns, 3 LMGs, 3 marksman rifles and 3 sniper rifles), 8 secondaries (4 pistols and 4 launchers) and 1 melee weapon, the FSS Carbon Edge 1095 knife.
Are DMZ weapons the same as Multiplayer weapons?
Yes, they are the same pool of weapons. Weapon levels and attachment unlocks are shared between the two modes. In DMZ, though, you have to acquire the gun itself: through the Free Loadout, looting, the Vendor, or the Gunsmith (DMZ level 10) once you have extracted with that weapon's Weapon Manual.
How many weapons can you carry in DMZ?
You can carry two primaries, two secondaries, or one of each, plus more if you have the right Weapon Backpack.
What are Apex Attachments?
Apex Attachments are new in MW4. Each supported weapon unlocks a unique one when you fully level it. It does not use an attachment slot, and it changes how the weapon works, for example by adding an underbarrel launcher, a new fire mode or an akimbo conversion.
Which MW4 gun has the highest fire rate?
The PPSh-41, at 1110 RPM according to Activision's launch stats.
