Although many of the guns from MW2 have been carried over, we\u2019ve been treated to a slew of new ones. Because of this, there\u2019s now a huge list of weapons to choose from, and it\u2019s understandable if you\u2019re struggling under the sheer weight of options.<\/p>\n<p>To save you spending so long choosing a gun, we\u2019ll share a list of our favourites to help you get started.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the best guns in CoD MW3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ll try to keep our list varied, with one weapon for each sub-category. We know how long it takes to choose each one, so hopefully our guide will get you started quicker. It\u2019s always worth trying new things to make your own mind up, but we reckon you can\u2019t go wrong with these. Let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MCW Assault Rifle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This isn\u2019t only the best assault rifle in the game, but quite possibly the best gun in the game full stop. You\u2019ll unlock this at rank 44, and its high fire rate will get you out of many sticky situations. Especially if you utilise the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/cod-mw3-tactical-stance-explained\/\" rel=\"noopener\">tac-stance<\/a> well.<\/p>\n<p>It was called the ARC in previous instalments. Call of Duty vets will know it\u2019s a solid choice.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6340295100112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <h3><strong>Striker SMG<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are a few decent submachine guns in the Modern Warfare 3 remake, but we believe the Striker just about takes the top prize. With its high speed, you\u2019ll have no problem if you\u2019re a run-and-gunner who goes for close-quarter tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Its accuracy and mobility shouldn\u2019t be sniffed at, either.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>KATT-AMR Sniper Rifle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is one of the brand new weapons for this game, and we reckon it\u2019s the top choice for a sniper rifle. The Katt-AMR has immense power, and there are multiple ways to customise it. It\u2019s ideal for setting up in a specific location far from the battle and playing Sniper Wolf.<\/p>\n<p>You unlock it as soon as you reach level four and have access to custom loadouts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Renetti Handgun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We picked the Renetti as the best handgun because, with a bit of customisation, it can become a pretty nifty submachine gun too. You\u2019ll need to equip it with the Jak Ferocity Carbine conversion kit in the loadout section to transform it, and when you do you\u2019ll be unstoppable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lockwood 680 Shotgun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ll finish with our favourite shotgun. The Lockwood 680 is perfect for those close quarter moments when the spray of an SMG isn\u2019t quite enough\u2026 you want that cathartic blast. For a shotgun it\u2019s actually got a decent range, so you\u2019ll get anyone who tries to run off too.<\/p>\n<p>This is another one you\u2019ll get pretty early on, once you reach level 4 (and the loadout screen).<\/p> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
