MW3 community members are sleeping on pistols, but we are here to enlighten you about the underrated COR-45. From class setup to attachments, and perks, here is everything you need to know.

There is something oddly satisfying about using a pistol in Call of Duty. When a sidearm is powerful enough, you feel like James Bond or Agent 47 whipping around the map and popping heads. The problem is that pistols usually aren’t strong enough to compete with top-tier meta weapons.

It also doesn’t help that Modern Warfare 3 features a whopping 114 weapons at launch. With so many other options out there, a pistol probably ranks near last in a list of most exciting weapons. But that is where you might be wrong.

Even though sidearms don’t necessarily jump off the page as must-use weapons, the COR 45 is absolutely lethal in the right hands and with the right set of attachments equipped.

Our loadout ensures that the COR 45 can deal with enemies in any short to medium-range engagement. When using a pistol, knowing when to choose your battles is essential as most other weapons overpower the class.

But if you are able to pick your spots, and learn when to get aggressive, the COR-45 can be just as dominant as a primary weapon.

If the COR-45 doesn’t check every box for what a sidearm should be. The next best option would most likely be the Renetti as there is a new Aftermarket Part that transforms the pistol into a pocket SMG.
