About This Quiz

Call of Duty isn't just a game, it's an institution! The CoD games are balletic bullet bonanzas of destruction, and you are at the eye of the hurricane. The Call of Duty series has seen you journey from the Second World War to the modern day, all the way to the future and then back again, and  this roller coaster shows no signs of stopping. A strange development cycle sees the title passed between its masters at Infinity Ward and the virtuosos at Treyarch, but the result is always the same: multiplayer mayhem and carnage par excellence. Gamers worldwide agree, as the series has sold an astonishing 250 million copies, for a total of over $15 billion in profit. Call of Duty has seen action figures. Call of Duty has seen comic books. Call of Duty has seen *trading cards*, and it looks like nothing can stop this train.

One of the most engaging things about the Call of Duty series is its gunplay, and you can't spell gunplay without GUNS! It replicates with extraordinary fidelity a vast arsenal of weapons from the many eras it represents, and players learn well the difference between a trusty Garand and an AK-47. How much do you know about the guns that you use to rock fools' worlds? We've put together a list of some of the deadliest - and occasionally most obscure - guns the series features. Can you call them all out? Take a breath and take your shot!
