The launch of a new Call of Duty is always a strange time. Everyone is getting used to the new maps and weapons, and you can always guarantee there's going to be at least one gun that eclipses the rest in terms of pure firepower and effectiveness.

World at War had the MP40, Modern Warfare 2 had the Akimbo 1887s, Black Ops 2 had the full-auto FAL, Infinite Warfare had the OBS, and the list goes on. There's always at least one of these OP horror shows that ends up haunting your dreams, and makes using anything else a fool's errand.

A lot of these get patched, but they work like a hydra; you cut one head off and another one pops up, ready to headshot you at a moment's notice.
