I found this interesting. I kind of gave up on Call of Duty when it comes to accurate portrayals pretty quickly after playing Black Ops (first one to really play since the ww2 games). Main reason is, I actually own a Colt Python Revolver and the way the game makes you treat that beauty would kill it IRL.

I'm pretty sure that CoD bases it's weapons on existing ones but have slight tweaks to them. Even the author of that imgur post says on the second example:
The "Tac 12" is a UTAS UTS-15 shotgun clearly designed to avoid having to pay for the trademark.
Which means they're allowed to use the real life gun but not use it's actual characteristics and capabilities, therefore it isn't an accurate portrayal of what the real gun can do since it's an altered version.
Other games do this all the time. Burnout for example doesn't use any licensed cars but uses cars with similar stats and design. But ranting about it is silly because doing 209 MPH around a corner with boost is stupid to question. The same applies to the CoD and it's weapons. Because no shit, doing 360 no scopez with a sniper isn't going to work in real life. Multiplayer has reasons for changing it's weapons, it's called balancing.

Also, +1 for starting a thread saying "Why Call of Duty: Ghosts' guns are bullshit" to then proceed talking about a riot shield.
Cool gun bro, where do I put the bullets in this "gun"?
