If you like a wide array of weapons, then Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) is likely a living fantasy for you with its gargantuan armory of guns.

This is the biggest selection of weapons in Modern Warfare history, according to Sledgehammer Games. And when you factor in that Modern Warfare 2’s guns are included in MW3, it’s easy to believe it.

Here are all of the weapons in MW3, including the ones from MW2 as part of “Carry Forward.”
