Just last week, we mentioned that in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, guns will have over 40+ attachments each. Now, if you’re wondering just how this works and whether there really is that many attachments to the game’s weapons, the answer is a quick yes. Below, we’ve listed some of the Modern Warfare gun attachments that will be available in the game.

Thanks to Reddit user Xeppeling, you can check out the Modern Warfare gun attachments below along with their corresponding effect to the weapon when equipped. Note that this is NOT the final gun attachments list, and each attachment has different kinds of variants that affect the weapon’s stats and performance.
Attachments
This is an overall look at the available attachments in game. Not all attachments are available for all guns, and I believe some attachments may be available for only one gun. Additionally, most of this list is comprised by looking at the available attachments for one or two guns. Weapons that share the same attachment could see slight performance changes between them.
Additionally, the amount of +/- there are next to a modifier(s) in the pros/cons relates to how significant of an impact that modifier has. So for example, an attachment that has the Pros of ++Hipfire Accuracy (tighter bullet spread while shooting from the hip) will give better hipfire accuracy than an attachment that has the Pros +Hipfire Accuracy. The same works for Cons. An attachment that has Cons of –Movement Speed will make you move slower than an attachment that has Cons of -Movement Speed.
