All Weapon Buffs & Nerfs in MW3 & Warzone Season 4

The weapon nerfs and buffs arriving with Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 don’t necessarily overhaul the meta for many popular guns. However, as we know by now, even the slightest adjustment to a gun could remove it from our arsenal entirely. This time around, assault rifles and submachine guns saw the majority of the tweaks, especially the BP50 and several meta SMGs, including the Rival-9 and Striker 9.
