@Auptyk, it think it’s 100 and 300 with painkiller, don’t hold me to that though, it’s just a guess.

@Silence258, if a sniper can kill in one shot, id say the normal amount is somewhere between 65-75
and painkiller i think adds x2.5 hp, so about
162-187
its just a guess, but if the snipers actually DO that much damage, then this should be more accurate.

@brax, (adding on) if what Novan Leon said is true (that stopping power makes your damage 140%) then the intervention (70 dmg) with stopping power would make the damage be… 98.
based on that, if you shot someone in the chest, and if the chart is right, and it does multiply the damage by 1.1, then the total damage that person would have got would be 107.8
yet, i have used Danger Close and still one shot someone in the chest with a sniper. so maybe the health is somewhere between 70-90…
and adding painkiller would be:
If it multiplied your health by
x2.5: and the base being 70, total is 175. if the base was 90, total is 225.
but if it multiplied it 3x, and the base was 70, 210 would be the total health. if the base was 90, the total health would be 270.
to put it simply… Hardline Pro helps noobs… alot…

@brax, no its 100 health. Ever heard of damage multipliers? thats why snipers can one shot kill with only 70 damage.

@brax, i agree with josh, hp is def 100 look at the multipliers everything adds up perfectly on this chart.. except i think if you have scavenger and u have a javelin u can hold 2 it says max is 1

@brax, its definately 100 health. Its been that way from the beginning of all Call of Duties. 100 health also makes the most since. Painkiller is 300 health. I am completely certain. Also, Painkiller is extremely GAY! It should be taken off. Deathstreaks, in general, are ******ed. A player should notbe rewarded for sucking.

@Bob, No damage added for FMJ. The stats image is misleading. It only decreases the effect a wall has on the damage done by the shot.

@Auptyk, I think the health is below 98 because i can 1 shot people with silencer and stopping power on if i hit the chest up. what ever it is its definitly higher then 75 or else you would be able to 1 shot without stopping power on a sniper with a silencer.

@Smart Dude, if you look at the range for the 1887’s and compare it with the smg’s where the range, damage, fire rate etc. the range bars are the exact same length…i realize while playing there is a difference but i have been killed in one shot by the 1887’s from a very unrealistic distance…and i don’t know why that shotgun has double the range of all the other shotguns i presume they use the same shells???

@Smart Dude, you are very right, and to Jman, shotguns have no range in real life, the shells would go way beond anything like what the are in cod mw2, plus the ingame stats are ****, try killing someone across the map or wasteland with smg, done, now try models, u will be sitting there getting no kills for a long time.

You can’t base your weapon choice off of this. They didn’t take in account the differences in fire rate and recoil.

Where did this chart come from… theres no way! no WAY! the F2000 is the same as the ACT no way!!! Even at that if you hit some one with the M16 you need 4 bullets if theya re in the chest… while the ACR can do it in the same if not less… this chart is bull… another example is the sniper rifles! lol on paper v in game is totaly off… im sorry, worse post ever

Stopping Power multiples your damage by 1.4 (140%). The damage values on the chart are default, without SP.

Hey admin, couldn’t find your contact info. Have you ever thought about creating a map showing the spawn points for the other team? For example in domination, show the spawn points of the other team when your team controls A and B, B and C, A and C?
I was thinking about starting on that tonight so if you’re interested in my findings, shoot me an email and we can talk.

Great chart!
Was really happy as I saw that news on your site as I have already
been looking for something like that!
Things to perfect it:
- Silenced damage for all weapons
- Firerate in RPM
- Reload time
- Swap time
- Movment speed multiplicator depdendant on the weapon
- Recoil
The last one is the hardest and I got to be honest no clue
how that could be worked in or is there maybe a file
that has the codes on how the weapon behaves while being shot?
In the game I previously played there was one, where you could
see the exact accuray in numbers dependant on shooters movment, stand, turningspeed and length of burst.
That would really make the perfect the chart, as you could fully base
your weapon choice.
Might be asked for much, up to you anyways the above is really appreciated already!
Thanks

@Fur!ouS,
Silencers only decrease damage for the LMGs and Sniper Rifles, that’s why the chart only shows the silenced values for these guns. For all other weapons silencers just decrease the range that the weapon does it’s maximum damage, causing the weapon to do it’s “Damage Far” amount much earlier.
[Reply]
oh what i forgot: accuracy
quite important ;D
[Reply]
This is a nice basic chart. What helps is being able to see all the weapon(s) damage points on one page.
Another point I was going to make – take a look at the ump, its damage and clip size. To me (other then the range) this gun out preforms assault rifles (yes and recoil, but you have to control your shooting).
To me, it is crazy how they made this gun more powerful (according to in-game stats and this chart) then rifles. It still doesn’t make sense to me how this can bring more pain then 70% of the assault rifles.
Thoughts?

Matt Reply:
December 12th, 2009 at 3:43 am
@Jim, I think that this may be because of the higher stopping power of the .45 round which is a lot bigger than the 5.56mm or 7.62mm round used in the assault rifles, which would explain the higher damage. I do think though that the damage should drop-off to about 25 or 20 at long ranges as this is still 3 shot kill anywhere at long range = overpowered

@Matt, the KRISS Super V called the Vector in MW2 also shoots a .45 round and it is way underpowered in the game.

March 1st, 2010 at 2:09 pm
@shaun10886, The Kriss does shoot a .45 round but it has 5.5 inch barrel, while the UMP has an 8 inch barrel. So I think their might be a difference in muzzle velocity, and impact velocity. I completely agree on it being underpowered though.
JOKERJOED Reply:
February 28th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
@Matt, i belive that the ump is very powerful and close or medium close range, however, it lacks long range bacause of the recoil, you can shoot the ACR arcoss a map no prob, not the case with the UMP.
[Reply]
I think I read somewhere that in Hardcore you have 30 hp. I generally use a silenced UMP45, and have found that it is not a one shot kill at long distance. Any thoughts about why this is the case, and has anyone else noticed this? Same goes with a silenced M9, which according these damage values should be a one hit kill at any distance. Any help would be appreciated.

@Yourhero7, silencers decrease range on all weapons, therefore the ump45’s damage at long range will be decreased.

Yourhero7 Reply:

@dark_aLex_nz,
I could be wrong, but I thought silencers had no effect on the actual damage of the weapon, but rather made the gun start degrading from its short range dmg value to long range value quicker.

December 12th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
@Yourhero7, silencers indeed to weaken the weapon. try going in a private match with a friend, and you have stopping power and the intervention plain (no attachments) and shoot your friend in the chest, he should die in one shot. but if you tried it with a silencer, sometimes he wouldnt die in one shot.
JOKERJOED Reply:
February 28th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
@Yourhero7, you’re not wrong, but you are correct, and the ump is a 1 hit kill i believe, i have never not gotten a hitmarker with it in SnD, and the m9 isnt because the dmg is 25 not 30 (:
I wish this had fire rate and reload times.

Why Do the LMG’s have Silenced damage? My guts tell me, that AR’s also do less damage with a silencer…

December 12th, 2009 at 8:32 am
@Kees, it’s a game balance issue. The LMGs and sniper rifles do less damage when suppressed, because they have “infinite range” and would be totally overpowered otherwise.
ARs do not do less damage when suppressed, they simply have less range.

can anyone estimate at what distance the range is considered as far?
my favorite weapon is ump45 the thing is with stopping power you need a 3rd hit on longer range just for 1 hp… and i am using with silencer
so this might be crucial :/
[Reply]
ok… seriously, can someone verify where this chart came from! seriously!? at the moment it seemly like the admin just made it up off the bar charts in game, which we all know are actually totally off…

The original chart came from here:
http://novanleon.fileave.com/MW2%20Weapon%20Chart.gif
I put it together based on my testing, but anyone is welcome to use it and do whatever they want with it. Feel free to test it yourself to verify. I’ve updated the chart to version 5 in case the admin here wants to update it.
[Reply]
But thats what i mean… you can’t verify it unless you see the maths in the code… and iw would never release this… so in theory its only guess work…. going off the game.. the ump acr, the first sniper, and last shot gun are the best in the game… but according to the chart their not… so why release something that you know isn’t true?

The math in the chart is VERY accurate, if not 100% correct. It’s been tested by myself and corroborated by many others who do this kind of thing on a regular basis. If you disagree with the math, that’s your choice, but feel free to test it yourself.
The chart says nothing about which gun is the “best”.

deadpoet Reply:
December 12th, 2009 at 8:30 am
@Alan, there’s a number of tested and verified damage charts floating around. These are real numbers. Try them for yourself if you doubt them.
Weapons charts like this have been around since the Call of Duty 4 days, e.g. courtesy of DenKirson.
@Yourhero7, I haven’t played hardcore games so I don’t know the definitive answer myself, but the UMP45 should kill clean in one hit regardless of distance. Perhaps you were shooting through cover/obstacles?
I’m a big fan of the UMP45 and I generally use it with the suppressor and no stopping power. The range is pretty abysmal when suppressed so it’s just not worth using SP.
[Reply]
Just an Assumption how he tested it:
Private Match – Regenration off
Class: One Man Army + Weapon to be tested + Flashbangs
In normal mode people have 100 HP, being close to an exploding flash/stun = 1 damage
Shoot once and then let it bang some time
incase he has done that the results are accurate

I like that most of the stats on this chart are accurate. the sniper power does need to be changed because it says that a barret .50 cal and intervention cannot 1 hit kill to the head with a suppressor and no stopping power. I have done it many times. other than that I like this.
[Reply]
I’m actually very confused after viewing many websites and the supposed “accurate” charts. If a person’s total health is 100 then this chart, plus a million other charts, are completely wrong. Unless I am missing something, I fail to understand how they come up with some of these numbers. The game is not that complex. By no means did Infinite Ward add in all factors that go into shooting guns, therefore, no complex math is required.
The weapons are pretty uniform. How on earth did someone calculate the fact that a gun does 40 damage. The SCAR, if anyone has actually used it, takes only 2 hits. done. the only time it takes 3 hits is at an insane distance. If it only take 2 hits, every time, and a person’s health is at 100, wouldn’t the damage be 50?
Please someone explain. All these numbers do not make any sense. I get that there are damage multipliers, but the damage multipliers do not do **** unless they are head shots according to this chart.

@keitaro, I would suggest checking this again, get into a private match, no regeneration, etc. Then fire exactly 2 bullets into your friend with a SCAR-H, I assure you they wont die, unless you hit them in the head.
This chart is probably %100 accurate, and nothing about it is that confusing or complicated, and it makes perfect sense that Infinity Ward would have all these complex stats, _balance_.

have you guys seen a actual Barret 50. cal? 1. they a way to big to be carried around a map to snipe they are anti armor or long range rifles they wiegh about 50 to 40 pounds. 2. there is no such thing as a silincer for a 50. cal the bullet will tear it to shreds

@connor did you bother even looking at the chart, I mean seriously. You said you one-shot people with a sniper in the face and it killed them but according to the chart it can’t possibly do it with the damage rating the snipers are given? Now if you looked, you would see there is a damage multiplier for different parts of the bodies which would say the damage, if shot in the head, is multiplied by 1.4. That would explain why you could one-shot kill people with a sniper right? Who knows, I could probably misinterpret the graph also since quite a few others did already.
