Frequently Asked Questions

What are some historically inaccurate firearm configurations shown in Call of Duty: Vanguard?

Call of Duty: Vanguard features numerous inaccuracies, such as an MP-40 in 9mm Makarov, a Thompson in 5.7x28mm, and a BAR rechambered in .50 BMG. Modifications like unrealistic barrel shortening on the MG42 and incompatible drum magazines on the StG 44 are also highlighted.

Why are certain weapon modifications in Call of Duty: Vanguard considered physically impossible?

Modifications are impossible due to fundamental design constraints. For example, chambering a BAR in .50 BMG would require a much larger receiver, and converting a PPSh-41 into a PPS-43 by swapping frames ignores their distinct internal mechanisms and non-interchangeable parts.

When did reflector sights become practical for small arms?

Reflector sights existed in early 20th-century aircraft applications but were bulky and battery-intensive. They were not miniaturized for practical use on small arms until the 1970s, with widespread military adoption occurring in the 2000s, making their appearance on WWII weapons in Vanguard anachronistic.

What is the significance of the StG 44 in firearm history?

The StG 44 (Sturmgewehr 44) is historically significant as the world's first widely produced assault rifle. Chambered in the intermediate 7.92x33mm Kurz cartridge, it bridged the gap between submachine guns and traditional rifles.
