Modern Warfare 4 Guns: Every Trailer Weapon Identified

The clearest identifications are the compact M4, K2C1, AK-105, K5 pistol, and MP7A2. The AK-12 hybrid and KAC LAMG appear for less time and carry medium confidence.

The identifications use receiver architecture, controls, magazine geometry, stocks, gas systems, and front-end details. Nationality and scene context were secondary evidence. The list is limited to weapons visible in the three trailers.

At 1:40 in the reveal trailer, Price rotates a compact black carbine across the camera, exposing a conventional AR-pattern lower receiver, forward assist, buffer-tube architecture, and familiar M4 controls. The receiver and buffer tube identify it as an M4-pattern build rather than a SIG MCX/Rattler.

The DDM4 comparison comes from the furniture and proportions: short M-LOK handguard, suppressor tucked close to the rail, compact stock, vertical grip, and a small tube-style red dot. The game receiver is fictionalized; DDM4 PDW-style M4 describes the configuration rather than an exact Daniel Defense factory model. The Traffic clip shows the same basic configuration in first person during the Paris vehicle chase.

The real DDM4 PDW is associated with .300 Blackout, but no trailer frame exposes a reliable caliber marking, so that chambering cannot be confirmed for the game model. Our AR-pattern PDW guide compares the DDM4 layout with the Rattler and short custom ARs, and the 300 Blackout vs 5.56 guide explains why caliber cannot be inferred from barrel length alone.

The rifle at 2:05 in the reveal and throughout Losing Ground has the K2 family's receiver and front-end layout, updated with the K2C1's rail and collapsible-stock treatment. It accepts an AR-type magazine, but its upper assembly and gas system match the K2 family rather than a direct-impingement M4.

The opening team shot in Losing Ground shows the same rifle family, and the first-person view retains the K2C1's long upper profile beneath a holographic sight. Motion blur obscures individual markings, but the receiver and upper profile remain visible.

AK-105High confidence

The two rifles behind the KPA officer are AK-105s, not full-length AK-74Ms. The shorter barrel and gas-system proportions, 5.45-pattern magazines, and modern handguard treatment point to the compact AK-100-series carbine. One wears a telescoping stock; the other is partially blocked by the officer.

AK-12-Inspired HybridMedium confidence

A different KPA rifle flashes through the trench fight near 2:18. Its furniture and gas-block treatment lean toward the production AK-12, but the dust-cover rail and legacy rear-sight arrangement do not match a single production configuration. It is best identified as an AK-12-inspired hybrid combining AK-74M and AK-12 features.

For the real lineage, our AK-74 family breakdown traces the AK-74M, AK-105, and AK-12 branches, while the AR-15 vs AK-47 comparison explains the platform-level differences the game preserves even after fictional attachments are added.

Daewoo K5 / DP-51High confidence

The KPA officer's suppressed pistol is a Daewoo K5, sold commercially as the DP-51. A top view during cycling exposes the slide contour and ejection port. The suppressor and slide serrations are stylized; the base pistol is the K5.

Heckler & Koch MP7A2High confidence

Fourteen seconds earlier, a Shadow Company biker fires a compact MP7A2 one-handed. The shot is brief, but the narrow receiver, compact PDW proportions, and A2-style rail and grip treatment identify the HK MP7A2. It is the only clearly identifiable submachine gun used in the narrative footage; the B&T-based ISO Nightshade appears later in the Vault Edition art.

A SIG P320-M17 sits in a US Marine's carrier during the convenience-store scene, while a Makarov PM rides in a KPA soldier's chest holster behind the officer. Neither is drawn or fired.

M4A1, Full-Length ConfigurationHigh confidence

Allied infantry carry a full-length M4A1 configuration in the battle montage near 2:14. Its conventional receiver, barrel, and stock proportions separate it from Price's compact PDW-style M4.

KAC LAMGMedium confidence

ROK formations include a KAC LAMG support gun. The beach assault also includes an FGM-148 Javelin. The armored sequences show a shielded M2HB-style .50-caliber mount standing in for Korea's K6/MG50 family and M242-type chain guns on allied vehicles. Traffic shows additional vehicle-mounted fire; Price's M4 is the only additional infantry weapon identifiable in that clip.

Losing Ground provides a longer first-person view of the K2C1 but does not expose another identifiable infantry weapon.

At roughly 2:10 in the reveal, the frame most likely shows a pistol. Its compact upper, trigger-guard area, and two-handed presentation point to a handgun rather than a stocked long gun. The camera is too close to show the complete upper or slide, clear ejection-port geometry, grip profile, magazine base, or controls, so the model cannot be identified.

The current footage supports an unidentified pistol. A wider view of the slide or upper, grip, and controls may resolve it.

The trailers pair the returning M4 with region-specific Korean weapons. The K2C1 and K5 represent South Korean service arms, while the KPA uses separate AK-105 and AK-12-inspired models.

The fictionalization is also consistent. Receivers remain readable, but stocks, rails, optics, suppressors, and even whole front ends are mixed to support the game's attachment system. The firearm builder supports compatible real-world platforms and parts.
