All of Call of Duty: Ghosts’ Weapons Are Real, Except the Maverick

Call of Duty: Ghosts may put a near-futuristic spin on the franchise with it’s nearly unbelievable post-apocalyptic atmosphere and seemingly sci-fi tech and gadgets, but it turns out most of the stuff you see in the game actually exists.

Before the game’s launch, Activision community manager Dan “One of Swords” Amrich explained how a number of the game’s story elements are “actually more science than science fiction”. He talked about the concept of kinetic bombardment, aka the “Rods from God”, and how it’s even being “seriously considered by the United States Air Force as a military strike that could create mass devastation without nuclear fallout.” If you’re interested, you can read more about what he had to say in this post right here.

So, okay, big scary space lasers are more-or-less real, but what about all of the crazy looking weapons in Call of Duty: Ghosts’ multiplayer and single player campaign?

Reddit user Corporeal_Residue decided to do some “light” research into the matter, looking into the background of each and every weapon, its real name, and where it comes from. The conclusion? All of the weapons in Call of Duty: Ghosts are real, except for the Maverick assault rifle and the Maverick A2 sniper rifle, both which were introduced as DLC weapons in Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught. That even includes the Bulldog shotgun and the ARX-160 assault rifle.
