Those who remember the mayhem of Modern Warfare 2's (2009) akimbo attachment for the Model 1887 shotgun can now relive that experience, thanks to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's recently added JAK Wardens conversion kit.

Call of Duty developers have promptly fixed the issue by releasing a hotfix earlier today on May 3. Alongside the hotfix was a note explaining that
