Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 weapon proficiencies are earned by continued use of your weapons as you level them up (separate from leveling up your player). The longer you use a weapon, the more proficiencies you earn.

Proficiences are used along with weapon attachments to make you and your chosen weapon a more dangerous foe to face on the battlefield. Not all proficiencies are available for all weapon types.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 weapon proficiencies are:

• Kick – reduced recoil
• Impact – increased penetration of your rounds
• Attachment – allows the use of 2 attachments
• Focus – reduces flinching when you are hit while firing
• Breath – reduces sight sway
• Stability – a sort of automatic “breath” where idle weapon sway is reduced
• Melee – faster recovery after melee attacking a foe
• Speed – faster movement speed
• Damage – increased damage
• Range – increased range for your weapon

MW3 Perks

COD MW3 perks have 3 “slots,” if you will. Each slot allows one perk to be selected. For example you can use Recon, Quickdraw and Stalker (a slot 1, 2 and 3 perk) but not Recon, Sleight of Hand and Scavenger (all slot 1 perks). Perks give you certain abilities on the battlefield that you can tailor to your needs using your custom classes (customized loadouts).

As you progress, perks are unlocked and as you use the perks, they can level up to their respective Pro levels. So there is Recon Pro, Sleight of Hand Pro, Quickdraw Pro and Dead Silence Pro. The Pro perk levels add new abilities to their counterparts.

One of my favorites in the UMP45 with red dot, and possibly a second attachment. However, when the other team EMPs the red dot is GONE and you have to estimate the center when firing. The best defense I can think of is to switch to your secondary. Even though Infinity Ward nerfed the akimbo FMG9, they are still pretty useful – and still over-used, in fact. At any rte, the point isn’t to set up akimbo FMG9s, but rather, if the loss of your red dot sight makes your shooting less effective, switch to your secondary.

So there’s the best defense against EMP loss of your red dot sight, change to your secondary weapon!

G36C assault rifle

MW3′s G36C assault rifle has one of the highest upward recoils of all ARs. The only ARs with less damage are the FAD, whose higher RPM makes up for the lower damage; and the SCAR-L whose more manageable recoil profile may actually land more of the bullets on-target depending on your playing style and your ability & desire to manually burst fire instead of holding the trigger down. The G36C’s minimum damage (from 800m out to 1400m) is also better than that of the M4A1′s, but the M4A1 has greater max damage and a better recoil profile.

Running an gunning a G36C/no proficiency/red dot sight/no reticle on Dome VS a SCAR-L/no proficiency/red dot sight/no reticle on Seatown, I preferred the SCAR-L. Most engagements ranged from close to medium range. Note that my preferences may be very different from your own. I think that the SCAR-L probably placed more of my rounds on the target as opposed to the G36C whose maximum damage at those ranges is higher,
