Mojave .357
Semi-auto revolver; 8 in the cylinder with 32 reserve.
Overview
Lawless apex lets you fan the hammer from the hip to empty all rounds quickly; blocks trigger, laser, tactical grip and Snake Shot ammo.
Strengths
- One headshot kills out to mid range.
- Very strong up close, especially with Snake Shot ammo turning it into a pocket shotgun.
Weaknesses
- Punishing recoil makes staying on target hard.
- Damage falls off at long range.
- Ranked last of the ranked pistols / below average across modes.

Source notes
Top-level velocity/adsMs/sprintToFireMs are Warzone base values (CODMunity weapon page and GGRanked Warzone page agree exactly). Class: pistol, revolver (official patch notes, Dexerto, Games Atlas 'Handguns', GGRanked, mw4field) - matches our list. rpm disagrees: 142 (CODMunity), 141 (Games Atlas, mw4field), 167 (GGRanked, all three modes); CODMunity value used. Magazine 8 (GGRanked, CODMunity, Games Atlas, mw4field); reload 3700 (GGRanked, CODMunity). 64 ms pre-fire / open-bolt delay (GGRanked, CODMunity). Head multiplier is CODMunity's stats-table value (table is labelled Warzone, but for this class it matches the GGRanked MP head/body ratio, not Warzone's). MP damage brackets GGRanked only (0-24 / 25-30 / 31-39 / 40+ m), no Season 1 changes to confirm. GGRanked MP body-part damage: head 115, neck/upper torso 76, lower torso 70, arms/legs 64. GGRanked Warzone body-part damage: head 150, neck/upper torso/arms 112, lower torso/legs 75. Not in CODMunity's MW4 TTK ranking. MP handling (GGRanked): velocity 400 m/s, ADS 190 ms, sprint-to-fire 80 ms. DMZ page values are identical to GGRanked MP (damage and handling) - very likely showing the MP tab, not DMZ data. Warzone profile is GGRanked only (low). DMZ profile is from GGRanked's DMZ page only; the page does not show which mode tab its stats block reflects, so treat as unconfirmed DMZ data. DMZ profile health is null: base health 150 is sourced (DMZ Codex) but armor per plate is not.
