Coming in at number four is none other than the Lachmann SMG. This weapon has been an absolute menace throughout Modern Warfare 2. The combination of its fire rate, time to kill, and range set it up to be good in almost every situation.

The weapon makes up 8.3% of the weapons dropped into the map, which speaks volumes about its potential.

It wouldn’t be a proper list if it didn’t include a sniper, right? People love to utilize these weapons for methodical or flashy plays and the MCPR-300 allows you to do exactly that.

With the ability of this weapon to one-shot within 50 meters alongside a quick scope, it’s no wonder it’s managed a top-two spot.

The weapon is insanely fast while maintaining accuracy and a solid firing range. This combo makes it viable in just about any situation

Given the weapon has already been restricted in Modern Warfare 2 ranked as well as the Call of Duty League, it should come as no surprise that this powerful weapon makes the list of the most popular weapons in the game.

With no ban in place, this powerful AR continues to command a whopping 19.2% of all weapons in Warzone 2.
