Enjoy.

Damage starts at one amount of damage, decreases over a certain range and continues at a lower damage.
The Red line indicates the basic damage. The Green line indicates damage range with a silencer (or the Python's Snub Nose).
Certain body parts multiply damage from attacks.
Note that the L96A1 has an extra damage modifier. The shoulders and biceps also take 1.5x damage.
All shotguns' minimum damage is 10.
-
A weapon's Hip Spread is determined by a minimum and maximum cone of fire in degrees from the center of the screen.
Shotguns from the hip are much less accurate than they used to be before. Aim down the sights with them to make them a bit more effective.
-
Recoil is an area within four points and the random chance of the weapon kicking in those directions.
The view kick is made of four forces. When two numbers are in opposing directions, they fight one another.
The kick focuses on the average between the two, so if a weapon kicks left 10 and right 60, the kick will always be to the right.
If a weapon kicks 60 both left and right, the sights have equal chance of jumping either way.
If both numbers are on one side of the arrows, then it'll always kick in that direction.

Working against the recoil is Center Speed (number in the bottom right of the Recoil box) which is an arbitrary number. Higher Center Speed means faster recovery.
-
A weapon's Fire Time is the time between each shot.
Divide 60 by the Fire Time and you get the Rounds Per Minute.

Each weapon has a specific Reload Time for partial and Empty magazines.
For both of these reloads is the Add Time, the point where the Ammo Counter changes.
The Add Time indicates the point where you can cancel the reload animation and still have a reloaded weapon.
Some shotguns and the Python reload one round at a time. The first round takes longer than the following rounds.
The Python's Speed Loader time is also indicated in place of the Add Time (which is irrelevant for the Python).
-
Raise Time and Drop Time are the lengths it takes to put away one weapon and take out another.
Combine one gun's Drop with another's Raise to see how long it will take.
NOTE: Switching from one weapon to a Pistol will cause your weapon in hand to use Quick Drop, only 0.25 of a second.

Aim Down Sights takes a moment before the sighted accuracy takes effect after pressing the ADS button.

Depending on the weapon you're carrying, your character will have his running speed changed.
Unlike the last few Call of Duty games where your primary determined speed, it is back to the originals - what is in your hand determines your speed.
Meaning if you switch to a pistol, you will run faster.

tbh cbf'd reading that. just get a feel for the guns in game

yer

**** thats some beast info right there. thanks for that man is a real help

good find bro actually helped a little.

Nice work Roman been waiting for this, cheers.

I thought with the removal of stopping power they might up some of the damages but they didn't really; looks quite good

nice find and an interesting read

Wow, that info is amazing.

sticky this thread ?
this is gold gold gold .. good find

I don't know about anyone else, but I just shoot ****s when I see em.

Whoa that is a lot of info. I'll just wait for someone to simplify it for me.

In a nutshell, If you like to spray you will be happy with BO. If you like weapon accuracy, stick with MW2.

No... In a nutshell they added more recoil. If you want a game that takes more skill to land a kill, play black ops.
