Call of Duty Fan Expertly Mimics In-Game Movements With an Actual Firearms

Ever wondered what Call of Duty would look like in real life? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 has helped the FPS fever peak again. And thanks to the monumental fan-following CoD has, fan-made edits are a common practice. However, only a few fan tributes to the brand stay with the fans for long. This time, a well known CoD fan has brought the game to life with real life mimicking of some CoD action.

Despite having a tough start to the campaign, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 seems to have caught some steam. The Battle Royale has witnessed an impressive surge in player counts following the launch of Season 1. The meme culture has also evolved strongly around the game. From social media trolls to some fan-made edits, MW3 has somehow managed to stay in the spotlight. Now FPS fans are drooling over a new fan mimicry that imbibes the most iconic gameplay movements from the CoD world. 

Trying every iconic Call of Duty move in real-life

Mike Jones, a widely known YouTuber, dropped an interesting upload recently. The creator tried every famous shooting trick from FPS giants with actual firearms. The video is titled “We Test Video Game Trick Shots With Real Guns.” An X account shared a short glimpse of the video on the platform. 

Most of you would find these moves strikingly similar to your favorites from Call of Duty. It goes without saying that CoD, as a franchise, has introduced gamers to a lot of innovations in movements. For instance, not every FPS game uses ADS. But it was CoD that popularized the mechanic. 

The YouTuber tried 5 major game moves in the video: 

• Drop Shot Technique
• Dolphin Dive 
• Peer’s Advantage 
• Dual Berettas Test 
• The 360 No Scope Shot 

Now, this obviously sparks an interesting question. 

Are the movements applicable in reality? 

Unfortunately, the answer is no! “We thought it would be really fun if trained shooters attempted these shots and it was something. My favorite one was the Dolphin Dive. Everything else was complete trash. That doesn’t work in real life, that’s not how it works,” Jones stated during the conclusion of the video.

Although the video discredited the celebrated Call of Duty moves, it was still exciting to see the looks of these movements in real life. It is important to note that Mike Jones is a former military personnel and has very experienced professional training with weapons. Moreover, the video has been shot in a closed 360 range with various safety protocols. Mimicking these stunts at home without concerned measures is not advised. Check out the full video below.

CoD is an arcade shooter at its core. Majority of the mechanics and in-game equipment are far from realistic and the pace is generally much faster than most shooters. At its core, CoD is an arena shooter dressed up in military clothing. There is some depth to tactics, but it’s a warm-blooded shooter in that mechanical ability is the dominant factor to success.
