Some of the weapons from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are still rather weak in Warzone. A couple of assault rifles, SMGs and snipers are in dire need of buffs to make them more relevant. YouTuber “TheXclusiveAce” has shared some of his thought in his video.

Assault Rifles
Three of the assault rifles from Modern Warfare are extremely weak in Warzone. Among them is the FN Scar 17. Hadnling the rifle is rather easy and it does the same amount of damage regardless of where you hit your opponents. While that sounds like a benefit, it really is not as the maximum damage is a pitiful 30. Especially in Squad Battles the limitid magazin size is also a clear weakness.
Another weapon with easy handling but held back by magazine size is the Oden. Although it has a decent Time-to-Kill the limited ammunition makes it unviable. Another AR in need of buffs is the FR556. Its main drawback is the recoil between each shot. This ruins your aim during burst mode and resetting also takes too long. For these three we really want to see larger magazines and less recoil.
SMGs and Snipers
For SMGs we need to talk about the Striker 45 and the Uzi in Warzone. Both are not bad weapons and do have their niche, but they are just not as good as other weapons of their category. With over 700 miliseconds of Time-to-Kill against armored targets most players choose different weapons.
Two sniper rifles are also not as good as they could be right now. One is the MK2 Carbine, which simply deals too little damage. While we are not asking for straight up one-shots, just 108 damage on the chest seems rather weak. The effective damage range of 26 meters is also simply not enough for a sniper.
The Dragunov has similar problems. Its missing one-shot ability is supposedly counterbalanced by a fast follow-up shot, but it is so difficult to hit it, that it does not matter. Shot opponents have more than enough time after the first shot to take you out while you wait for the aim to reset. This disadvantage is simply too big for a sniper and makes the Dragunov irrelevant as of now.
