Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is all set to bring back one of the fan-favorite MW2 weapons, the akimbo Model 1887, in the form of an aftermarket part. This will be added as part of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 update, which is slated to release on Wednesday, April 3.

Compatible with the Lockwood Mk2 Marksman Rifle, it basically converts the weapon into duel wield Model 1887 lever-action shotguns.

In fact, the Akimbo weapons were so powerful that players could pretty much use them as snipers. However, that didn't last forever since the weapons were eventually patched, with their range being considerably decreased to make them more balanced. Not only that, but the Akimbo attachment also reduced the range of the weapon even further, which ensured that the Model 1887 was no longer a part of the meta.

Despite the nerfs, the Model 1887
