These are your bread and butter firearms that you’ll spend most of your time tweaking and using during your time with Call of Duty: World War II.
Rifles
Without a doubt, rifles are the most versatile weapons in the game. Although close quarters and wide-open areas may not be the most favorable conditions for a rifle user, they are still completely manageable. Whereas a shotgun would have little chance of winning against a sniper in an open area, or sniper against a shotgun user in tight quarters, the rifle can manage both while only being at a slight disadvantage.
To get the most out of your rifles, consider using Scoped, Lookout or Forage as your Basic Training. Rifles are flexible enough that you can try out some of the other more nuanced Basic Training options, such as Ordnance or Espionage instead of trying to actively improve your rifle usage.

The low recoil of the M1941 allows for great accuracy at longer ranges. Adding the Advanced Rifling attachment greatly increases the full damage range of the gun, while Reflex Sight helps acquire targets at ranges greater than most other automatic rifles. Optionally, the 4x Optic can take the place of the Reflex Sight on maps with plenty of open land.

You know this rifle. You know it even if you can’t remember its name or what it looks like. If looking at it doesn’t immediately bring you back to every piece of World War II media you’ve ever seen, then the wonderful “CHING” sound of the clip ejecting from the gun will certainly remind you. The reason this gun is iconic is because it’s stable, reliable, and punches holes through axis troops like they’re made of paper. Hustle or Forage will make for excellent Basic Training, while Quickdraw and Extended Magazine make this a solid weapon for short to mid-range combat. If you’re looking to do a bit of sharpshooting, then swap out Quickdraw for 4x Optic or Reflex Sight, depending on how far out you’re expecting to be shooting.

With the Grip and Extended Mag, you’ll immediately get the advantage in a firefight the moment you enter the fray. The Grip helps compensate for the fast fire rate, while the Extended Mag allows you to stay in combat, ready for the next threat that enters the area.

You must land three shots in a row to take down an enemy with full health, thus you need to shoot quickly and accurately to bring an opponent down. The gun is fairly accurate, meaning you can get by with just the iron sights. Adding Rapid Fire allows for quicker shots. Using Advanced Rifling allows you to maintain lethality at range without bringing you into the four-shot kill territory.

Submachine Guns
SMGs are all about fast movement and quick firing at the cost of accuracy and stopping power. Most weapons in this category are categorized as short to mid-range; they are extremely effective when used within those distances. Know when to pick a fight (and, better yet, when to pull back and reroute to a new path) to ensure success with this weapon type. There’s no shame in backing off and searching for fights that will favor your weapon more than an opponent’s.
Forage is one of the most useful Basic Training options for submachine guns because of the high rate of fire. Undercover works incredibly well when coupled with the Airborne Division’s SMG Suppressor, but selecting Energetic, Hustle, or Gunslinger will also serve you well.

Due to its large magazine, the PPSH allows you to fire from the hip without worry of immediately running out of ammo. This makes it a great gun for close-quarters, run-and-gun action. Steady Aim helps to keep your hip-fired shots in a smaller area, while the Extended Mag allows you to continuously fire while you approach your target.

Although its range is limited, this is still an excellent SMG. You can use attachments to compensate for its lack of range, but it’s better to play to the weapon’s strengths by attaching Steady Aim for better hip-fire accuracy, and Extended Mag to get the bullets flying despite its low fire rate. Just remember: Don’t pull the trigger until you’re within shotgun range, as the odds are stacked against you at greater distances. Once you’re close, though, your opponents will be dust the moment you pull the trigger.

This weapon has a high rate of fire and inflicts decent damage, but the recoil is out of this world! Attach a Grip to help mitigate some of that recoil and an Extended Mag to increase the amount of time you can fire. Without the Grip, it’s best to use this weapon during close-quarters combat. With the recoil in check, this is an excellent SMG fit for most combat conditions.

The MP-40 has a high rate of fire, but low accuracy (a common trait of most SMGs). Despite this deficiency, it is reliable and can take down enemies with ease, provided it’s in the right hands. Try attaching a Grip and/or Advanced Rifling to lessen the accuracy issues. Extended Mag is useful on pretty much any SMG (this one notwithstanding) and a Reflex Sight adds improvement as well.

Using LMGs is remarkably similar to using sniper rifles. Moving around isn’t as dangerous when using LMGs, but it definitely doesn’t play to this weapon’s strength. In fact, it’s much better to find an open area or a long, narrow lane to pull out your bipod and wait for enemies to march in front of your crosshairs. These weapons are powerful and have incredible ammo capacities. Use Hustle to increase reload time and Rifleman to bring a second primary weapon, which can help during unfavorable conditions like close-quarters combat.

Sniper Rifles
Patience and accuracy are two things snipers can’t do without. If you have these traits, then consider yourself right at home with a sniper rifle. With this weapon, your job is to find a spot on the map with a long, open view of the surrounding area. Close-quarters are not your friend, so avoid them like the plague.
The Undercover and Instincts Basic Training options help keep you hidden and safe from enemy attacks. Lookout provides more intel on the mini-map and allows you to identify enemies from a greater distance. Use Scoped to reduce your gun’s sway while aiming down the sights, or Rifleman to bring a second primary weapon to allow for safer transitions between sniping locations.

Not the strongest weapon in the sniper rifle category, however, the Karabin is a quality rifle nonetheless. It takes no less than two shots to kill an enemy, assuming you don’t land a headshot. This is the only semi-automatic sniper rifle. Note that the 4x Optic scope actually decreases the range of this rifle, enabling it to work in mid-range combat.

The M1903 is a powerhouse that can kill with just a single shot. Although it has an extremely slow fire rate, the amount of damage it dishes out with each shot is absolutely worth it.
The attachments for this weapon depend on a player’s personal preference. You can use Rapid Fire to help with the fire rate, but the increase in speed is minimal at best. We suggest playing this one straight, relying on attachments that are more specific to the overall sniping experience. Ballistic Calibration fits that criteria, but an Extended Mag isn’t a bad option either.

A powerful and accurate sniper rifle, the Kar98k can have its scope swapped for the Iron Sight attachment to allow for a standard rifle approach. The Full Metal Jacket and/or Extended Mag help you keep pumping round after round, even when the enemy jumps behind cover.

Shotguns
Shotguns are for those who like getting up close and personal during battle. These are high-risk, high-reward weapons that can take down an enemy with one or two shots… but can also result in death if you miss even once. To get the most out of these weapons, use Basic Trainings like Hustle, Gunslinger and Energetic in order to get around the map as quickly as possible and close the gap between you and your target. Rifleman allows you to bring a second primary weapon to win a fight, while Forage keeps this weapon’s relatively small ammo pool consistently full. Finally, Undercover can be really effective at keeping enemies from seeing the trail of dead players you leave in your wake while also making you more difficult to identify when they are looking your way.

The Combat Shotgun is the most reliable and powerful shotgun at your disposal. While others offer more specialized firing capabilities, this weapon is a no muss, no fuss shotgun that becomes a hip-fire killing machine with the Steady Aim and Rapid Fire attachments.

A double-barreled shotgun that packs a punch, the M30 can be as deadly to use as it is to be on the receiving end of its destructive shells. Unless you’re right next to an enemy, it will take both shells to bring down a soldier. Miss a shot and say your prayers. To help alleviate this issue, equip the Rifle Bullet attachment to use in emergencies. Advanced Rifling is also a quality attachment to bring along for the ride. Hustle, Gunslinger, and Energetic are all decent Basic Trainings to use with this weapon.

A semi-automatic shotgun that deals far less damage than its contemporaries, the Toggle Action can be fired nearly as fast as you can pull the trigger. Rapid Fire and Extended Mag increase the firing capabilities tremendously, although you should consider Forage to help build up any lost ammunition.

This weapon has great bullet spread, but low damage output when compared to other shotguns. There’s no need to perfectly line up shots in order to deal damage, but it will take two shots in order to kill your targets — provided they were at full health at the start of your encounter. If one shot misses, you’ll likely lose the fight. Advanced Rifling and Rapid Fire are good attachments, while Hustle, Gunslinger, or maybe even Energetic are all decent Basic Trainings to consider for this weapon.
