Medal of Honor: Frontline/Weapons

The following are statistically and general information on each gun as well as a preferred range. They are in an A-Z fashion. Also there is a short general guide to weapon usage in the game.

Weapon Guide/Rule Book

The following are just a few points to keep in mind to make the best use of your arsenal:

Aim for the head and the heart for maximum power and fatality likelihood.
For maximum entertainment, try hitting a person - with a weak gun like the Colt .45 - in any of the following; groin, hand, foot (a classic), or knee. This will provoke a most humorous reaction.
Use your sniper rifle to maximum effect by taking out people ahead of you in all levels. (this clears the path, making it easier to progress).
Give yourself space when using any explosives. If you're too close, you will also lose health.
Try to take people by surprise, for example by approaching from behind.
It is highly advisable to always make sure you have reloaded your weapon when entering another conflict zone (especially in Arnham Knights) even if you have 31/32 (just example) bullets. If you have to reload while under fire, you will lose precious time, and will quite likely be injured.
If you are shooting an enemy who has yet to spot you, for your own sake take your time! Aim at the fatality points because if you miss he will react and retaliate before you have reloaded - and at least knock a bit off your health.
