How to build 15 secret weapons in Modern Warfare: AK74u, M16, more
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players have figured out a way to use the in-game Gunsmith feature to build weapons that are technically not available in the game.
Weapons along with gunplay have been the main focus of every Call of Duty title, and Infinity Ward managed to take that to a whole new level with Modern Warfare.
Not only are the guns in MW as realistic as can be, they all also have dozens of attachments that each offer their own pros and cons, with players being able to equip up to five on each weapon.

It did not take long for players to figure out that certain combinations of attachments actually make a profound difference on some guns – essentially turning them into almost completely different weapons that aren’t available in the game.
In total, there are 15 of these “secret” weapons that can be created, many of which are classic guns from past Call of Duty titles.
You can find the exact attachments needed for each one below, courtesy of Reddit user ‘HeyoItsMrMayo.’ It’s important to note that some of these won’t be exact replicas of their versions from past CoD games, but they are still very similar in appearance and function.
