If you're wondering exactly how much damage a headshot deals with a Victus XMR, or you want to know how many shots it takes with a Vel 46 to kill an enemy, you've come to the right place. Below you'll find our in-depth Modern Warfare 2 weapon stats tables, covering everything from damage and time-to-kill stats to ADS and movement speeds.

• Battle Rifle stats
• SMG stats

Note: all guns in Modern Warfare 2 are identical to those in Warzone 2, so the stats are all identical too. However, if you'd like to know how many shots it takes to kill an enemy with different levels of armour, then check out our dedicated Warzone 2 weapon stats tables instead!
