Frequently Asked Questions

What are some of the most egregious historical inaccuracies in Call of Duty: Vanguard's weapon designs?

Vanguard features numerous 'cursed guns,' including an MP-40 in 9mm Makarov, a Thompson in 5.7x28mm, and an MG42 modified with unrealistic stock removal and barrel shortening. The game also shows anachronistic red dot sights on WWII weapons and impossible caliber conversions like a BAR in .50 BMG.

Why is it physically impossible for some Call of Duty: Vanguard weapon modifications?

Many modifications are impossible due to fundamental physics and engineering. For example, rechambering a BAR in .50 BMG requires a receiver far larger and stronger than depicted. Similarly, converting a PPSh-41 to a PPS-43 by swapping frames is impossible as their internal mechanisms and frames are not interchangeable.

When did miniaturized red dot sights become available for firearms?

While reflector sights existed in the early 1900s for large applications like aircraft, miniaturized versions suitable for small arms were not developed until the 1970s. Widespread military adoption of these modern red dot sights didn't occur until the 2000s, making their appearance on WWII-era weapons in Vanguard historically inaccurate.

What are the historical calibers for firearms like the MG42 and StG 44?

The MG42 is historically chambered in 8mm Mauser. The StG 44, considered the world's first assault rifle, was chambered in the intermediate cartridge 7.92x33mm Kurz. Vanguard often depicts these with incompatible or anachronistic ammunition and attachments.
