What Codm guns are real?
As a passionate Codm player and content creator, I often get asked – just how real are the guns in Call of Duty Mobile? With its graphics and weapon handling getting more realistic each season, it‘s a valid question!
In this guide, I‘ll be breaking down Codm‘s arsenal gun-by-gun, sharing little known facts and specs on their real-life versions. You‘ll see that while some guns are near identical copies of actual firearms, others are hybrids blending multiple inspirations into original concepts.
Let‘s get right into it!
Assault Rifles
M4
The M4 carbine is one of the most ubiquitous assault rifles in Codm, almost synonymous with the franchise at this point! This compact AR platform is modeled extremely faithfully in-game after the actual Colt M4 used extensively worldwide by special forces and SWAT teams.
| Spec | Real M4 | Codm M4 |
| Caliber | 5.56×45mm NATO | 5.56×45mm NATO |
| Fire Rate | 700–950 round/min | 672 round/min |
| Effective Range | 500 m | 34m |
As the specs show, most attributes are modeled realistically, with only effective range tweaked for gameplay reasons. This allows the M4 to fill its jack-of-all-trades role that any Codm player will be intimately familiar with!
ASM10
With its angular skeletonized body, the ASM10 is one of the most distinct looking ARs in Codm. It seems to be inspired primarily by the Russian AN-94 Abakan prototype assault rifle, explaining its complex dual burst fire mechanism. The stock and iron sights also resemble the AK-12.
AGR 556
This reliable, low recoil AR draws heavily from the Israeli Galil ACE in its aging, utilitarian styling. However details like the carrying handle optics reveal inspiration from other rifles like the FNC.

Submachine Guns
QQ9
Nicknamed the "god gun" by fans, the QQ9 clearly takes its iconic silhouette directly from the legendary H&K MP5 SMG. German special forces continue using updated variants of this 1960s SMG today owing to its reliability.

Sniper Rifles
DL Q33
The heavy hitter of Codm‘s long guns, this anti-material rifle copies the brutalist aesthetic of the Barrett M82 almost exactly. From its flat top upper receiver to the iconic large boxy muzzle brake, all key M82 styling cues are retained.
…
Pistols
J358
Codm‘s high-powered revolver takes clear inspiration from the S&W Model 629 with its stainless steel body, smooth wooden grips and adjustable sights. The Smith & Wesson is the real-world originator of .357 magnum revolvers.
…
While many Call of Duty Mobile guns draw heavily from real-life, some are more rooted in fiction, blending attributes from multiple weapons. At the end of the day fun factor and balance take priority over mimicking real-world weapon performance.
But the developers‘ clear attention to detail still shines through! As a gun enthusiast myself, I‘m always delighted to discover the real-world inspirations behind new Codm firearms. Hopefully this guide gave my fellow players some fun trivia to impress friends with too!
Do let me know in comments if I missed identifying any cool real-life sources for Codm guns. And stay tuned for more insider looks at the Mobile franchise!
